Merentiel eyes San Lorenzo derby after Lanús brace | OneFootball

Boca showed a great performance against Lanús as visitors, after some terrible matches at La Bombonera. The Xeneize, with goals from Miguel Merentiel and Santiago Ascacibar, overcame the Granate and are now preparing to host San Lorenzo at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando for a new edition of the classic.

After the victory at La Fortaleza, the Uruguayan striker shared his feelings about returning to victory and scoring two goals to celebrate. “La Bestia” highlighted the importance of taking all three points, considering that “they slipped away” in the match against Gimnasia de Mendoza.

“We’re happy with the win, it’s something we’ve been looking for. The last match slipped away from us, at home we should have won, we created several chances. Today, those chances came and we were able to convert them,” Miguel Merentiel began explaining.

On the other hand, the 30-year-old forward looked ahead to the match against San Lorenzo, which will take place at La Bombonera next Wednesday, March 11, for matchday 10 of the Torneo Apertura. Merentiel assured that the win over Lanús and the team’s performance is a “step up in confidence” for the team and emphasized the need to continue on the same path against the Ciclón. “Now we have to go home and try to get all three points against San Lorenzo,” he concluded.

Miguel Merentiel’s Advice to Tomás Aranda

One of the standout performers for Claudio Úbeda’s side against Lanús was, without a doubt, Tomás Aranda. The young Xeneize player received all the praise at La Fortaleza, and Merentiel was asked about the advice he could give him as he takes his first steps with the club’s first team.

“He’s fitting in, he has players of great quality around him who will advise him very well. He needs to continue with humility and hard work,” said the Uruguayan striker, who has now scored 53 goals in the blue and gold shirt.
