Vasco Arruabarrena's incredible praise for Milton Delgado | OneFootball

Arruabarrena’s Boca pulled off a sensational win over Estudiantes de La Plata. They claimed a narrow victory, thanks to Santiago Ascacibar’s goal, at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó in the rescheduled Matchday 2 of the Torneo Clausura. It was a key result for the Vasco, who is gradually starting to find his starting eleven, with Milton Delgado as one of the team’s fundamental pieces.

The 21-year-old youngster has become the ideal partner for Leandro Paredes in the middle of the park for the Xeneize. And tonight, he had one of his best matches, playing a key role in the team’s only goal, since the move that ended with the Ruso scoring started from one of his tackles in his own half.

After La Ribera’s side sealed the win, Vasco Arruabarrena had nothing but praise for Milton Delgado, who played the full 90 minutes. “Chelito is a little engine in the middle of the pitch. The balls he loses, he wins back. Camilo Rey Domenech is a bit more of a No. 5, and Chelito is a bit more of an interior midfielder. I’m happy they came through the training ground, but they earned it themselves, through hunger,” the coach said in the post-match press conference.

Beyond the great level Delgado showed in the clash against Estudiantes de La Plata, the most striking thing was that he finished the match with the captain’s armband on his left arm. That was because Paredes, when he was substituted in the closing moments, decided to hand it to him to wear.

“On the pitch, because of status, obviously, but anyone can be captain. Javier García is also a very important person, he supports us in a lot of situations. Leandro is too. Chelito is young. Blanco can also be one because of his professionalism,” Vasco added.

Besides Arruabarrena, Paredes also praised Delgado

As the leader of the group and the main reference point on and off the field, Leandro Paredes always has words of praise for all his teammates, but this time it was special. He spoke proudly about Milton Delgado and how important it is to have him alongside him in central midfield, as well as his decision to hand him the captain’s armband.

“Delgado is my spare wheel. The captain’s armband is a reward for him. For what he means to us, for how much he loves the club. He’s a kid who works hard, he’s very humble, and he listens a lot. Hopefully he stays on this path because he has a great future,” highlighted Boca’s No. 5.
