After the victory in the Superclásico against River and before playing the last match of the regular phase against Tigre, Leandro Paredes spoke to the press and among other things, he mentioned the similarity he sees in Claudio Úbeda with Lionel Scaloni. The world champion praised Boca's coaching staff.

On a double training day at Xeneize, there was a press conference and several players spoke to the media present at the Ezeiza facility. Among them was Leandro Paredes who, among other things, referred to the victory over the eternal rival.

“Happy, we played a Superclásico that I believe was very complete, after a very good week, we had prepared it in the best way and we did it in the best way. The satisfaction also comes from the qualification, everything went perfectly. Happy and thinking about what's next,” began the native of San Justo.

Then came the moment to talk about the coaching staff and he highlighted their work: “Honestly, very well, the coaching staff is doing very well, they have a lot of confidence, they have all our support so hopefully we continue growing together. We are obviously in growth, he is too, supporting him and making him feel our support is very good. We have also improved in the game, so that is undoubtedly because of them, so let's keep going.”

Furthermore, Paredes mentioned that he sees similarities between Úbeda and Scaloni: “Claudio asks us for something very similar to what Lionel asks us in the National Team: to play, to be ourselves, and when we lose the ball, to roll up our sleeves, work, and recover. We are doing it in the best way and we have a lot of room for improvement.”

To close the topic, he stated: “Obviously we are happy because Claudio is doing very well, he is leading a group of people because he is very close to the player. That is very important for the player.”

Leandro Paredes and the next goal with Boca

The midfielder assured: “the first goal was to qualify for the Libertadores, but we also have to think about finishing our zone first to play as many games as possible at home, so that is the next goal we have.”

In the next matchday, Boca will host Tigre on Sunday from 20:15 hours at La Bombonera. This will be the last date of the regular phase before starting the playoffs. With a victory, they ensure classification in the first position, although even losing they could keep that position.
