The captain of Belgrano, Santiago Longo assured that “we are here to continue growing and improving, we are a team that is well placed, but we have to go step by step and knowing that we still have very complicated games ahead.”
The central midfielder who kept the ribbon after the departure of Pablo Vegetti to Brazil, also referred to that “our main objective is not to remain, but to consolidate ourselves in the First Division and be close to the international cups. Today we are first in our area and we want to qualify among the four, but if we also achieve a place in a cup, it would be optimal.”
Regarding the match with Boca, the midfielder said that “we took advantage of our opportunities and it was a great match,” and then added that “the team showed that they were strong in the head, because when they were 2 to 1 they had one for 3 to 1, but we knew how to overcome an opponent that was going to play in the final of the Copa Libertadores and we knew how to handle adverse moments.”
“It is not easy in a First Division tournament to be as we are, but we have to be calm and continue growing, this is our first competition in the League and we have been doing very well,” Longo added.
About playing as a visitor, the footballer said: “We want to break that streak away from Alberdi, play a good game and get the three points. We know that on Monday we are going to face a very difficult opponent who is close in the area and above us in the annual table.”
Belgrano has accumulated 11 winless away games in which he only scored two goals and added five points of the 33 possible.
