Gonzalo Morales A couple of years ago he was one of the ball boys at La Bombonera. Today, at the age of 19, he Bull makes that unique stadium tremble with a crossed resolution that breaks the zero to zero of a very tough game with Velez and that transforms the xeneizes into the only pointers in the Argentine league. The youth from the quarry, barely sealed the victory, remembers his past and, pure freshness, remarks: “I really like the people of Boca. He is crazy… ”.
And yes, Boca fans are crazy about their team led by the Reserve coach, by Hugo Ibarra, the coach whom no one trusted but Vice President Juan Román Riquelme chose. Mouth does not shine. He needs a lot in each game from his goalkeeper Agustín Rossi. However, he usually keeps his own goal at zero and always surprises with some youthful appearance and conceals heavy absences due to injuries, such as those of Sebastián Villa and Exequiel Zeballos. The formula is reiterated in that construction that won eight and drew one of its last nine games.
Guillermo Fernández (Boca) disputes a ball with Francisco Ortega (Vélez)
Agustín Rossi had covered a colossal one-on-one with one foot in front of Walter Bou, in a more than balanced development. Until Hugo Ibarra moved the bench of substitutes. The 72nd minute change was decisive: inside the youthful Morales, outside Pol Fernández. And at 79, who was a ball catcher recently, that powerful, left-footed and goalscorer from Cordoba who has been in the club since he was a child, entering from the left of the area, did not hesitate and the stadium exploded. He had already scored a key goal during the week against Quilmes for the Copa Argentina. He dreamed of a goal in the Bombonera. Dream fulfilled…
Boca fairly beat Vélez 1-0 for Rossi, for Morales and also for Alan Varela, the central midfielder who recovered 12 balls. In one of those robberies the goal that is worth the exclusive leadership was born.
He took advantage of the ‘prick’ of Atlético Tucumán
Ultra pragmatic, this Boca made the most of the fall suffered a while before by the leader, Atlético Tucumán, who stumbled in Paraná: 1-2 with Patronato. On Saturday, Huracán (0-1 in the classic with San Lorenzo) and Gimnasia (0-1 against Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero) had been defeated.
Now, after 22 games played, Boca rules in the Argentine league with 42 points. Atlético Tucumán has 41. Racing is third with 40. Then, Huracán and Gimnasia with 37. River, which came from a resounding elimination in the Copa Argentina, reached 35 points with the 3-0 win against Argentinos yesterday in La Paternal, with three beautiful goals from players who came in from the bench: Juanfer Quintero (free kick at an angle), Lucas Beltrán and Agustín Palavecino. It seems that it will not be enough for the millionaires to overcome and lower their greatest soccer enemy.
