His usual audacity to play is increasingly common to show off the field. So much so that the trust he maintains with Juan Román Riquelme put him at the center of an unusual scenein which the vice had to call him on the phone because Exequiel Zeballos did not look to the box, following the victory of Boca before Platense. “He told me it was enlarged, but I hadn’t seen it, haha”
It was his first game as a starter following the injury saga that began with that kick that broke his ankle almost a year ago. And there is no doubt that, although his level was on the rise, Last night he showed his best version, perhaps even better than the one that catapulted him into the idolatry of the people of Boca: with character to take charge of the team’s attack and decisive on the scoreboard from his goal (“I was able to hit it right”) and the cross that he sent to Cavani to score for the first time with the Boca shirt.

That night, the owner of 7 de Boca showed his entire repertoire in a very short time. And, with that confidence, he did not stop anymore. Against Independiente he scored the first goal since his return and then he was important once morest Nacional, converting one of the penalties in the decisive series.
El Changuito came out applauded.
“We are happy and united. The things that mark us in the coaching staff are coming out ”, he counted following the game, happy. And yes, he called him Roman.
