Overview
- Leonardo Madelón told broadcasters on Wednesday that Boca is “imbatible” and that, in his view, his team cannot beat them in the current moment.
- He singled out Leandro Paredes as “a genius,” comparing Paredes’ ability to escape pressure to Ricardo Bochini and praising his mental speed.
- Madelón named the midfield trio of Milton Delgado, Santiago Ascacíbar and Paredes as the spine of Boca’s form and described that midfield as impenetrable.
- He connected Boca’s current play to the club’s tradition, suggesting coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena may carry a “gen Bianchi” influence linked to collective discipline and simple passing.
- Argentine outlets amplified the remarks ahead of Unión’s Round 11 visit to La Bombonera on Friday, setting a narrative that the match will test Madelón’s assessment on the field.
