"I was all alone": Paredes frustrated after Racing draw | OneFootball

Boca drew 1-1 against Racing at La Bombonera and couldn't leave behind the worst negative streak in its history. After the match, Leandro Paredes analyzed the team's performance and made a strong complaint that Miguel Ángel Russo will have to address for the upcoming Xeneize matches.

Leandro Paredes was one of Boca's standout players and has maintained this since joining the squad. The world champion midfielder acknowledges the Xeneize's shortcomings. According to his statements after the match, they created many scoring chances but lacked the effectiveness to convert them.

“Beyond the first few minutes, I think we played a good game creating many chances, missing a lot,” analyzed Paredes. However, the midfielder remains determined and emphasized: “We have to improve, we have to keep improving, we have to lift our heads, work, and think about what's next.”

Regarding Boca's improvement in the second half, Paredes argued: “we created more because there were more offensive players.” Additionally, he made a strong complaint about the solitude in midfield: “we struggled a bit in the first half because I was very alone in the middle and the players were too far forward.” Nevertheless, he assured that “they adjusted” and “were able to improve.”

Finally, faced with the frustration of not being able to break the negative streak, the former Roma player assured that “in our stadium and with our fans, we always want to win, we wanted to get out of this moment, find victory,” but “they leave with a bitter taste” for not being able to secure three points.

Boca can't break the negative streak

After the draw against Racing at home, the club from La Ribera extended the worst negative streak in its history. The Xeneize has gone 12 matches without a win, and Miguel Ángel Russo has become the coach with the worst start in the institution's 120-year history.

The next match, for the fifth round of the Torneo Clausura, will be against Independiente Rivadavia at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza. The match will take place on Sunday, August 17 at 8:30 PM, and fans from both teams will be allowed.
