Boca Juniors is currently experiencing a moment of collective confidence, and one of the protagonists reflecting this is Carlos Palacios. The Chilean footballer spoke about his adaptation to a new position within the team and highlighted the importance of sacrifice for the benefit of the group.
“As a team, we are coming in with a lot of confidence. The matches reflect the confidence the group is showing, how united we are. Winning gives you an extra boost emotionally,” said Carlos Palacios, emphasizing the positive atmosphere in the Xeneize locker room.
On a personal level, the player acknowledged that he is going through a stage of growth and adaptation: “I’ve been feeling really good, in a new position, trying to do what the coach asks of me and trying to help my teammates both in defense and attack. I have their trust and obviously, I play more calmly.”

Palacios remains a starter in Úbeda’s team.
Palacios also highlighted his passion for the game and the commitment his current role requires: “I love playing football, and when I have the ball is when I feel my best. I have to make sacrifices for the team just as they do for me.”
The words of the Chilean footballer reflect his commitment to Boca’s project and his willingness to take on responsibilities for the good of the team. His adaptation to this new role requested by Claudio Úbeda is a sign of the collective spirit running through the squad, at a time when confidence and results seem to go hand in hand.
A large part of Boca’s resurgence can be explained by the arrival of Leandro Paredes, whom Palacios highlighted because “he’s a player who always finds a through pass, so many things. We talk, he tells me to look for open spaces because at some point the ball will get to me. He helped me a lot.”
The Chilean stated: “I always felt comfortable. Obviously, the relationship with the fans, there was a time when it broke down, but I always felt comfortable, they always let me know that they treated me well, that they care about me.”
In the same vein, the native of Renca emphasized: “Now I feel much better, much more comfortable, and obviously I’m very calm and very happy here.”
