Edinson Cavani scored again and Boca won. The Uruguayan scored the second goal of the night against Banfield and after the match, he addressed the criticism he has received for his performance in recent games.
"What do you want me to do? I, the same as always, every day give my best to come and give my best here. Sometimes it can be done with goals, but the most important thing is that the team wins, that we can get closer to the goal. Happy for the victory first of all and because I scored again, in a play, there rebounded, but you have to be there too, happy for that," Edinson Cavani began saying in the post-match interview.
In the same vein, the Matador added: "Winning makes you happier because it's something we've been looking for a long time. The continuity, the regularity, the group is becoming more solid, that's the most important thing. Then, the goals will be scored by Cavani, Merentiel, the defenders... The important thing is that Boca wins and gets closer to the objectives."
Boca won 2-0 against Banfield with goals from Merentiel and Cavani.
To conclude, the Uruguayan stated that "there is no special recipe, it's the work, there are moments when you lower your head and have to endure the criticism or whatever, but you always have to trust in the work, in the consistency, in the discipline and that's what gets you through. We took another important step, but there's a long way to go, we have to keep proving it, growing as a group, as a team, and achieve what we all want, which is to become champions."
