“I expected an adventure, but I also lived many things in excess. But well, when one is committed and is fully involved, you have to row, you have to raise awareness all to pull forward. And we are doing that.” The definition belongs to Iker Muniainwho a few minutes before had honored the 10th Diego Armando Maradona… Of Ander Herrera and his Bocathere are no words …
San Lorenzoas a visitor, had eliminated Argentinos Juniors to settle in semifinals of the Opening Tournament. The cyclone of the multiple problems, which had had its players in the week one day without training due to lack of payment, had left the team that best played in the championship. Good to San Lorenzowith suffering, with epic, challenging adversities, as has been much of its rich history.
To all that referred Iker Muniain With that definition. Because since it reached San Lorenzo He had to live from everything: Visit of Bravas Bars, exodus of soccer players, reduced squad with a majority of young people, several stages without collecting, video of the president starring an alleged “coima” to include players in the youth divisions … and now, in this last week, the new non -payment (three months owe the players). That powerful combo in a handful of months …
With that San Lorenzo And before this Argentinos Juniors, Iker He came out as a captain and ended up being key with a wonder that invented in the previous action of the Barca goal, first caracoleando among several rivals and then putting a first pass and with a sensual effect that left alone to the side to the side Ezequiel Herrera, in ideal situation to throw the center that Andrés vombergar transformed into 1-0. Then, in the 95th minute, Argentines He tied it. And already on penalties, San Lorenzo all, Orlando Gill He stopped one and was 8-7 victory in that dramatic series.

In the definition of these four teams, the Boca of Ander Herrera because he suffered another cruel elimination in the Bombonera, this time against him Avellaneda red.
The adventure of Spanish ex Bilbao, PSG y Manchester Unitedamong other teams, it has been very different from that of Muniain. Although in Boca There are no economic difficulties, problems arise from another place. The club that presides does not find the football course Juan Román Riquelme.
The mythical 10 has not succeeded with the coaches (the last example: a couple of weeks ago he fired Fernando Gago, after losing with River), he has incorporated too many players with high age and very regularity and has suffered lethal results.
The incorporation of Ander Herrera It already begins to be resisted even by journalistic criticism, even by those colder analysts. It was that he left a tear and fell into another. This time, in this match with IndependentI was returning after 50 days without activity and occupied a place in the substitutes.
The interim coach Mariano Herrón included it in the last half hour to give clarity to Bocawith equalized development zero to zero. But Other Nothing influenced. AND Boca ended up eliminated and with Herrera wrapped in the most absolute of silences.
