Darío Benedetto is a great scorer, but he has a hard time with penalties. And while it is true that he barely missed 6 of the 23 that he kicked with the Boca shirt, five of them were in the last 9 games. Relegated by Edinson Cavani y Miguel Merentieltoday he is the third center forward in the consideration of Diego Martinez. And this Wednesday, in Potosí, he missed a great chance from eleven meters, when his shot burst the crossbar.
“As a striker I take the penalty. I know I had a good first half, but I’m leaving with a lot of anger. As soon as you touch the ball, it rises. It is noticeable in the changes of front and in the centers, that it never goes down. I want to convert, I’m not getting it, but I have to keep working,” Pipa explained after the game.
Four of the five penalties he missed were diverted (two against Corinthians for the Libertadores 2022, one against Talleres de Córdoba for the 2022 Professional League and this Thursday in Potosí). The one who stopped him was Jose Devecchifor the 2023 League Cup.
“No one but me wants to score the goal. I’m angry about that, but I’m left with the team’s performance, we played a great game,” said the attacker, who wore the captain’s ribbon in the almost 4,000 meters of Potosí.
Martínez also spoke about that play that could have been decisive: “Darío had to hit the crossbar, the team did not suffer, they continued forward. In the second half, he tried, perhaps at times due to fatigue with less control.”
Despite the importance of an international premiere, there was also room for a registered trademark managed by Juan Román Riquelme, and which he is responsible for highlighting at every opportunity. Three Boca Predio products joined the list of debutants in the Xeneize: Milton Delgado (18 years), Iker Zufiaurre (18) y Walter Molas (19).
“I am happy because some boys from the Reserve were able to debut and it is a great pleasure to know that they are emotionally prepared to play with the Boca shirt,” he concluded.
