Kevin Zenón, the footballer for whom Boca has been negotiating for more than a month: how he plays and who he resembles

Now that the arrival of Kevin Zeno agrees, fans of Mouth They wonder which player they will face. Juan Roman Riquelme and the rest of the management is focusing on a player whose main virtue is being able to play in any role on the left wing: defender, midfielder and attacker.

Zeno doesn’t look much like him Valentine’s Day boat, beyond the fact that they move in the same sector of the pitch. El Colo, who threw powerful darts at the Football Council, is a player who likes to have the ball at his feet. Zenón, on the other hand, feels more comfortable receiving space to show off his athletic abilities.

Attention: the midfielder Corrientes Born in Goya 22 years ago, he is not at all crazy with the ball. All the Lesser were made like a hook. Only when he arrived in the First Division, led by Leonardo Madelón, did he begin to move as a defender.

“I have almost always played as a midfielder. Lately in the Reserve I have played as a left midfielder, which is almost the same path as the full-back, but different in marking. I tried to adapt quickly because the coach told me that he needed me in that position“he said at the time.

A significant fact: according to the site Transfer marketZenón in Unión played in 8 different positions in 114 games played (7 goals).

Zenón’s best performance came with Sebastián Méndez and then continued with Cristian González as coach. With both he made the band in a line of 5 shuttlecocks.

“Kevin is a player with a lot of projection, who already has more than 100 games in the first division and I think that beyond the fact that he still has to work on some things, he has given us a lot. I have no doubts that He is prepared play for Boca”, Kily González recently praised him.

He added: “Kevin yes dynamic, that’s why he can play in various roles. He can create the whole band for you and can also play inside. He has multiple endings and one-on-ones. “His shots are also excellent and thank God he scored the goal in that final against Tigre to maintain his permanence.”

That day, when Tatengue needed to win at all costs to avoid relegation, Kevin took charge of a free kick and his shot could have been a great goal, but it ended up in the Tigre goal thanks to an error: it bounced off the post. he hit goalkeeper Santiago Rojas in the back, so in the statistics it was counted as a goal conceded.

It mattered little to Zenón, who celebrated the victory that day knowing also that his team had escaped the tie-break to maintain the category, a situation that ended up condemning none other than Colón, making him close the year with a smile for the fans of ‘Union. . .

A fun little game to play whenever a player signs for a big team, especially Boca or River, is to look for similarities. Who is Zeno like? Among those who have played for Boca in recent years, he has things from Jesús Dátolo and Sergio “Bruja” Berti, who also wore the River shirt. However, the best mirror Kevin can look at himself in is another with a “millionaire” past: Santiago Solari.
