Lautaro Blanco, upbeat on Arruabarrena: “We got his idea fast” | OneFootball

In Salta, the stunner by Lautaro Blanco was vital for Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s Boca to win a hard-fought match against Athletico Paranaense. El Vasco returned to the Xeneize bench and had his first meeting with the fans, although both teams were far from putting on an attractive show.

A typical preseason game, with several players easing off the workload in recent days and plenty of heavy legs, showed some of the ideas this team will have under the new coaching staff. While the pitch did not help, the left back unleashed a rocket from outside the box in the 27th minute and scored the only goal of the match.

Lautaro Blanco highlighted the value of the victory by saying that "with this shirt, you always have to win." Even so, he said the group must "keep correcting mistakes," without straying from the idea Vasco Arruabarrena is looking to implement.

Referring to Boca’s new coach, the left back said he was happy, stating that "we picked up the idea very quickly" and what the manager wants. He will make his official debut on Wednesday, July 15, against Sarmiento de Junín at the Marcelo Bielsa Colossus Stadium in Rosario, from 6:00 p.m., in the Copa Argentina round of 32.
