Paredes Explained Why He Brought Forward His Return After the Muscle Tear

Leandro Paredes once again spoke about the effort he made to bring forward his return to action after the muscle tear he suffered against Instituto. In his review, the Boca captain and emblem made it clear that the decision involved a high risk, although the outcome ultimately proved favorable for the team and for him.

The midfielder’s explanation came from his recollection of that early comeback. This time, the central point was his own return before the expected date, a move the player took in complete stride and linked directly to his sense of belonging at the club.

Paredes’ view of his return

Paredes stressed that returning earlier than planned was no small decision, but said it was a gamble worth taking given Boca’s situation.

Leandro Paredes: “The risk was high and, luckily, things went very well.”

The midfielder also left a line that sums up the emotional weight of that choice and the bond he has with the xeneize supporters.

Leandro Paredes: “Any Boca fan would have done the same.”

A leader who took responsibility

Beyond the specific reference to the muscle tear and the early return, Paredes’ testimony once again puts his status as a leader within the squad in the spotlight. His message was not about a match or a particular result, but about the willingness to reappear at a delicate moment for the team, even with limited physical room to maneuver.

Along those lines, his remarks leave two clear ideas:

• Boca had a captain willing to speed up his comeback.
• Paredes himself accepted that the decision came with a high risk.
• The return, in his own view, ended in a happy ending.

The midfielder’s quote also serves as a sign of his identification with the club. Without adding anything beyond what the main figure himself said, the message was clear: betting on himself to come back early was a gamble that, in his case, paid off.
