After the 2-0 victory against Aldosivi in Mar del Plata, midfielder Leandro Paredes, a standout player for Miguel Ángel Russo's team, posted two photos on his Instagram account with the message: “Vamos, boquitaaaa” and, minutes later, received a comment from Cristian Cuti Romero that excited the Xeneize fans.

The central defender from Tottenham, who was one of the first to arrive in the country and is training alongside Paredes with the Argentine National Team (which will host Venezuela on Thursday for the penultimate match of the South American Qualifiers), wrote: “The way you play, Leandro,” along with a clapping emoji. In just one day, the brief message received more than 4,200 likes and 79 responses.

On the other hand, the national team's coach, Lionel Scaloni, stated that “it's a pleasure” to watch the former midfielder of Roma, Paris Saint Germain, and Juventus play and noted: “There are very few like him with the ball, he is a player for any coach. He has elevated Argentine football and is gradually becoming more important at Boca. He is going to be a special player,” in a conversation with TNT Sports.

In agreement, Alan Varela, a right-footed midfielder trained in the youth divisions of the blue and gold team, commented: “We all know the quality he has, he is a player of great hierarchy and he is proving it. I feel that the team is improving a lot since his arrival and we hope it continues that way,” upon his arrival at Ezeiza to train for the first time with the Albiceleste.

Previously, Alberto Márcico, a winner of three championships with Boca between 1992 and 1995, highlighted Paredes' performance since his arrival in local football: “He is a true football leader and very positive for the locker room.”
