The coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto claimed to be "calm" after the match that Boca drew with Atlético Tucumán tonight, 1-1, he refused to comment on the president Daniel Angelici's visit to the training session after the defeat against River and highlighted that they are smart and know "that there will be news that are not real, but that should not generate anything that affects the team's interests."
When analyzing Sunday's match, the "xeneize" coach did not make any self-criticism and claimed to be "calm about how we dominated the opponent, something that has happened in other matches. We have a clear objective; we have a six-point advantage over the rival we are going to face now and we will try to win that match to move further away."
About Angelici's presence in the practice after the defeat against River, Barros Schelotto pointed out that "it is neither good nor bad, because he is always with the group, it's just that this time his visit coincided with the defeat."
"We are smart and we know that there will be news that is not real, but that cannot generate anything that affects our interests," he emphasized.
After praising Tevez's performance, he indicated that "this time he played a little further back, a position that he also likes to occupy," as he pointed out, and clarified that he replaced him in the final minutes because "we had to organize the team."
Before leaving the press conference, true to his style, he left a message about the team's current situation by stating that "from January until now the team has two points less, for those who used to say that they were the sensation of the year," although he avoided specifying who he was referring to.
On the other hand, Pablo Pérez considered the draw valuable, although according to him they could have won, because "the most important thing is to lift your head after losing a final."
The midfielder, who will join the Argentine national team squad that will play two friendly matches against Italy and Spain in the next few hours, claimed that "inside the locker room there is great peace" and stated that "at Boca they always have to make a soap opera when they lose."
"We are calm; we get up every day to work and we will continue doing so because we have important goals to achieve," he said.
When analyzing the match in Tucumán, Pérez pointed out that "it was not a flashy match but a lot of attitude was shown and the reward was the draw."
