Overview

• In an Oct. 3 DSports interview, Ángel Di María said his post-match line about Leandro Brey was tactical analysis rather than a personal swipe.
• He explained that Rosario Central rehearsed tightly closed, inswinging corners during the week to challenge a goalkeeper lacking recent match action.
• The rehearsed routine led to the 1-1 equalizer against Boca at the Gigante de Arroyito, with a first attempt cut out and the next curling in directly.
• Brey, a youth keeper starting in place of injured Agustín Marchesín, was beaten by the corner that went straight in.
• Addressing criticism from Boca fans online, Di María emphasized the delivery’s late movement and congestion in the area and said responsibility did not fall solely on the goalkeeper.
