"It depends on us"
ast Sunday Boca lost the opportunity to become the champion of the Apertura with one round to go when it was defeated by Belgrano by 1-0 in Córdoba. However, the team’s confidence is intact and that is why its players will go out to win the match against Lanús in the Bombonera.
When it came to analyze what had gone wrong last Sunday against Belgrano coach Ricardo La Volpe pulled no punches.
"It was a game where nothing we did worked out. We were not intelligent nor solid in defence. The required precision was not attained in the last few meters of the rival area and despair got hold of us” La Volpe explained.
Neverthless, the coach denied that there had been an excess of confidence. “We didn’t come out too confident or thinking of the title in advance. We know that nobody gives anything away and that today there are no easy teams, those which you can beat with the simple sight of one’s jersey”.
But La Volpe knows that on Sunday the players will have to leave everything on the field to win and to attain another star: “To be satisfied with a tie could be a dangerous idea because one might run into a surprise. Lanús won’t come to give anything away. It’ll be up to us to achieve the best result.
