Edinson Cavani clearly didn’t like a journalist’s question about his missed opportunities…
Boca Juniors did not find the key during their Copa Libertadores semi-final against Palmeiras. Despite the enthusiastic support of its public, the Buenos Aires club had to settle for a goalless draw (0-0), thus compromising its chances of qualifying for the final.
Boca Juniors, however, dominated the debates and Edinson Cavani notably had several opportunities. “You missed three clear chances,” a journalist said to him after the meeting. Which caused the annoyance of the former Parisian.
“What are the three clear opportunities you are talking about? »he replied before being reminded of these opportunities in question, including two headers near the goal. “Do you think these are clear chances when the ball comes so hard? “, replied the Uruguayan, adding: “ It seems easy for you but on the ground things are not as easy as they sometimes appear from the outside. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. We must continue with faith and continue to work. »
After a successful debut, Edinson Cavani remains in seven matches without scoring.
“Cuáles son las claras que tuve a ver? ¿Te parece que son claras las pelotas así de fuertes? Eso es lo que te parece a ti. Inside the cancha, the things are not easy like a veces sells from afuera”.
