Leandro Paredes backs a Boca player sidelined by Miguel Russo | OneFootball

After a spring of three consecutive victories, Miguel Ángel Russo's Boca has fallen back into the inconsistency that characterized it throughout the year, even before the arrival of the coach to face the Club World Cup, and now there are three matches in a row without a win, with draws against Rosario Central and Central Córdoba, plus the recent and painful last-minute defeat against Defensa y Justicia.

In a collective performance with more debts than approvals, the one who has managed to maintain a good level is Leandro Paredes, a footballer who returned from Europe to take charge of the football that has been lacking in Xeneize for years and has had no problem assuming that role even when the team's urgencies make more than one person burn the ball at their feet.

If Miguel Ángel Russo seemed to have found the team after three successful performances against Independiente Rivadavia, Banfield and Aldosivi; the preview of next Sunday's duel against Newell’s at La Bombonera again has players who have put their place in the starting lineup at risk due to low performances and others who are fighting to gain the coach's trust.

In relation to the latter, it was noticeable the "like" that Leandro Paredes gave from his personal Instagram account to a publication that highlighted the work that Milton Delgado has been doing with the Argentina National Team in the U20 World Cup, a footballer in whom Fernando Gago had placed enormous expectations but who lost a lot of ground with the change of command.

The post by Planeta Boca Juniors highlighted the young player as the "master and lord of the midfield of the Argentina National Team" after two matches, both with victories against Cuba and Australia; something that the world champion in Qatar validated with his public reaction.
