Tomás Aranda reveals his idols: “I really admire Román” | OneFootball

Boca returned to victory after four matches without being able to take all three points. The Xeneize showed their best performance in recent games and Tomás Aranda stood out once again. Step by step, the young player is earning his place in the squad and revealed who his role models are in his position, giving a nod to the president of the blue and gold club.

The player from Ciudadela was one of the standout performers for Claudio Úbeda’s team in the victory over Lanús. Aranda has been showing his qualities, making the most of every opportunity he gets in Boca’s first team and his first match as a starter was no exception. After the win at La Fortaleza, he expressed his happiness about his current situation.

“You always dream of this when you start out as a kid. Luckily, and thanks to God, things are working out for me,” explained the midfielder. He also stated that his style of play is to never hide and to ask for the ball, even if things aren’t going as he would like.

On the other hand, he commented that his teammates advise him to “keep working with humility” so that “things keep going well.” To finish, he assured that he greatly admires Juan Román Riquelme and considers him a role model in his position, along with Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Leandro Paredes. However, he hopes to create his own style of play.

Claudio Úbeda highlighted Tomás Aranda’s performance

In the press conference after the return to victory, Boca’s coach highlighted the young player’s performance in his first match as a starter. Sifón said he played very well and praised his composure on the field, like a much more experienced footballer.

“Tomi had a great match, he played very well. We knew he could give us what he did. He was organized when we lost the ball and positioned himself well defensively in the midfield line. He looked as if he had played many more matches as a starter,” explained the coach.
