The radio cycle, led by Fernando Mancini, makes a pass to Juan Carlos “Toti” Pasman’s program, giving an introduction to Fernando Mancini’s program, when the Boca theme comes out. And if we talk about Boca, one that is undoubtedly the powerful word is Héctor Veira. “Bambino” knew how to direct “Xeneize” between 1997 and 1998, and today, he collaborates on the radio program La Red.

Regarding the match Boca played against the Tigers, Veira was strong, and launched: “Boca plays like teams in the 60s”. The controversial comment, which shocked the entire panel, was quickly questioned by Pasman, who asked: “By this, do you mean Boca is back 60 years? I don’t know if it’s a compliment you’re saying or Chicana. You compare Boca to a team from the 60s. “

Bambino spoke about Boca, and left a controversial comment.

Veira clarified: “I praise it. He played with a goalkeeper, a line of 4 where full-backs start to attack, two central defenders and a balanced midfielder, two outside midfielders and three forwards. Battaglia printed the 60’s tactical model, and I mean, any system works if the team is convinced of what it does“.

“I saw amazing teams in the 60s. Independiente, Boca, River. Flyers are purely game. There is another dynamic, but the ball is not lost. They are all players with amazing technical power, ”continued the multi-champion coach with River, who is deeper in his opinion than before, seems somewhat controversial.

One who joined the “Bambino” comment was Fernando Mancini, who first explained that he understood his partner’s point of view on the panel, and concluded: “Like that Boca from people 64 ‘, 65’. When they couldn’t score a goal against ‘Tano’ Roma or against that iron defense. “Veira added:” The Estudiantes were very good, they played 4-3-3 and that was what became the world champion “.

Also, the former San Lorenzo coach ensured that Boca beat Tigre very well, and clarified that the team’s performance was “a great merit of Battaglia”, although he also manages to criticize the Victorian team level. “Don’t you think Fabra and Advíncula played freely? They can’t come out playing without difficulty. Romero is the same. He’s a great pitcher, you can’t let him play comfortably. These are very important details , and more of a final, where you have no revenge“, hill.

Over the minutes, “Bambino” not only installed his comment, but even added a few followers. The first was “Chino” Tapia, who made sure that depending on the time, the teams would maintain the way they played. Added to his comment was “Gallego” González, who said: “it is so. The goalkeeper’s mistake caused Tigre’s massive downturn. The goal ending in the first half, Tigre left“.

In this way, “Bambino” was able to provide a bit of background in his comment that equated the Boca champion with teams in the 60’s, and finally, he was still full of praise for Battaglia. Now, the La Ribera cast needs to maintain the level that propelled them to stay in the League Cup, and on Thursday against Deportivo Cali, they will look to seal their pass in the eighth of the Copa Libertadores.
