Leandro Paredes He brought a smile to the Boca fans. The midfielder who graduated from the Xeneize youth team and world champion with the Argentine national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, offered an interview to the ESPN television signal and confirmed that he will return to play. Mouth. What is not known is when. And since then, he has assured that he will also try to bring Paolo Dybalateammate in Roma and self-confessed fan of the La Ribera club.

The footballer born in San Justo and who will turn 30 this year also spoke about his life as a world champion, his relationship with Lionel Scaloni, the moment of the national team, among other things; But without a doubt the statements about her return to Argentina, to his love club, put the spotlight on her.

“Before the four years are over you must come”Paredes quoted what Juan Román Riquelme told him, in reference to his presidency, which he assumed last December. Both maintain contact and one of the main topics of conversation is when he will wear the blue and gold shirt again.

The first option is that it takes place during the government of the party in power, so the fans will not have to wait long to have a world champion at the Bombonera, a stadium that he has tattooed on his back and which always stands out as the most beautiful in the world..

“When I spoke to him, he told me that he knew I still had time in Europe and that I should make my decision”explained the midfielder, but Riquelme was faithful to his style, putting pressure on the response and added that “he told me again that he has four years left and before four I have to go”.

The world champion midfielder wants to return to Boca and the president’s insistence is undoubtedly positive, which is why he will evaluate how to continue his career to determine his future, in the not very long term. “I told him yes. He knows how much I want to go to the club, he also told me that he feels that I must continue to stay in Europe but that the doors are always open.”he explained in case of doubt the reason for his answer.

The 29-year-old player, who played for the promotion: “I will definitely be there before those four years”.

The heroic act of Leandro wearing the Boca shirt once again and competing strongly is not the only great speculation that is growing in the world of Argentine football. Another of the conquering “jewels” of Qatar could also accompany him.

None other than his teammate at Roma Paolo Dybala I would have a good chance of arriving in Buenos Aires around that time. “I drive him crazy all the time.”Paredes confessed Paulo’s destination in Argentina. “I’ll try to take him with me, it’s his decision, I don’t know what he wants for his career, but I’ll try.”He added.

Regarding the relationship with the president, both have dynamic contacts as they have confirmed on several occasions; In turn, Paredes recognizes him as a great person who he knows and knows that “he wants the best for the club”. “I think that Riquelme as a manager has done things very well, he has changed a lot in the structure, the things they have done in the ownership have been very important for it to continue to grow”he acknowledged regarding Boca’s idol.

On the other hand, the memory of the greatest feat of his career, the World Cup crowned in December 2022, could not be missed, which will be the greatest memory he will keep in his history. For this reason the footballer believes that “It’s difficult to explain what it feels like, it’s something you’ve dreamed of since you were a child but it’s difficult to explain how it feels. Family and friends always let you know, but it’s hard to explain.

Faithful to the style of the national team, he spoke of his “winning mentality” and that for this reason “it hurts to lose”. The defeat against Uruguay is not far away, a match that cost Argentina and which got the result it deserved. “Uruguay beat us very well, they were superior for most of the match, they pressed high and beat us well. On the few occasions when we lost to others we weren’t entirely satisfied that they were superior to us,” he explained.

After that defeat in the qualifiers, the alarms went off when Lionel Scaloni He suspended his continuity as coach of the Albiceleste, a decision of which the locker room was not notified. However, despite having an excellent relationship between the two and being one of the “pampered footballers” who were there from the beginning of the coaching cycle, he commented as follows I didn’t talk to him “directly” AND? “The statement was very surprising”.

“We knew it was difficult for him not to continue because he is our pillar and the head of the group and we arrived at this moment together and it wasn’t the time to leave, he didn’t feel it either” confirmed.

The Argentine coach, who occupies the top positions together with Thomas Tuchel as the best Paredes has ever had, makes things “very easy for him, he gives me confidence, he is very close to the player, he tells me things to my face, he has helped “So when his arrival at the World Cup wasn’t the best because he wasn’t one hundred percent, Scaloni “I heard it too” and he let him know, so when it was his turn he “never” made a bad face..

Roma, struggling to reach the top of Serie A and competing for the Europa League, have a new coach following the departure of José Mourinho and are no more and no less than Daniele de Rossianother of the luxuries that Boca has had in recent years, where he announced his retirement from football.

Leandro Paredes said it “He went crazy with Boca” AND? “His dream was to become coach of Boca and play there”. Finally, the destination was Rome and the deal took place in Italy, where the footballer is now under the orders of another world champion.
