Barco buzzing after Superclásico, message to Paredes, wants return | OneFootball

Valentín Barco spoke about Boca Juniors and the victory in the Superclásico against River Plate. El Colo expressed his happiness for the Xeneize triumph and his desire to return to the club. He also mentioned the request he made to Leandro Paredes and praised Changuito Zeballos.

From the Argentina National Team's training camp, the Strasbourg player was asked about the match that Boca won against River last Sunday at La Bombonera: “I saw it, very happy”, he began by saying.

He then referred to his former teammate, Exequiel Zeballos, who scored one of the two goals that Xeneize made against the Millonario for the victory: “very happy for Chango too. I know everything he fought for, we once concentrated together, and I was very happy for him. You could see from a young age the potential he had, it's tremendous. For me, he was the best because he's very unbalancing, he kicks with both feet, he's fast, and now he's able to exploit that, and I'm very happy for him.”

Zeballos was the great figure for Boca in the Superclásico against River.

Additionally, in a conversation with ESPN, he referred to Leandro Paredes, highlighted his leadership, and the request he made after the victory: “Well, he's an elite player, and I'm very happy he returned and returned to help. He's a reference, a captain. Playing, we already know everything he can give us. Very happy, I wrote to him the other day and told him to save me Boca's number 5.”

Regarding his return to the club, Valentín Barco stated: “Not yet, but in the future, I would love to. I've been there since I was very young, and I have a sense of belonging and a desire to be able to show and win things with the club, which I didn't have the time for, perhaps, I was very little in the first team, but I know that in the future it can happen.”

What's next for Boca after the victory in the Superclásico

The Xeneize squad had the day off after beating River 2-0 and will return to training to start preparing for the last match of the regular phase, against Tigre. Still with the day and time to be defined, Boca will host the Matador at La Bombonera before the playoffs.

Boca plays the last match against Tigre.

Claudio Úbeda will have to change the lineup again because Lautaro Di Lollo received his fifth yellow card and will miss a match due to suspension. His place would be taken by Nicolás Figal. Another change is not ruled out.
