After breaking it in the loss on penalties against Messi’s Inter Miami, the 21-year-old midfielder referred to the survey he received from Xeneize in this transfer market.
Although once again the lights of the night in the United States were led by Lionel Messi, author of a double and who put the Inter Miami team on his shoulder to rescue an agonizing 4-4 draw and then get a ticket to the quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup on penalties, there was another Argentine who had a brilliant day yesterday in Dallas: Alan Velasco.
The 21-year-old playmaker from Independiente broke it, scored on the free-kick net, exchanged shirts with La Pulga and then, to close Sunday, spoke about Boca’s well-known interest.
For several weeks the Football Council has been searching for a link that will bring play and imbalance to the squad led by Jorge Almirón. And although Ezequiel Bullaude is the one who finally has everything agreed to reach Brandsen 805, one of those names that was on the radar is that of the man born in the Red who has been making waves in the MLS.
When asked if he was close to Boca, Velasco did not hesitate and maintained that “my representative had told me that there was some interest, but nothing more than that happened.” “I’m in Dallas, I have a contract and I’m comfortable, they treat me 11 points and there is a very good human quality, so it wasn’t more than that,” added the talented soccer player who came to the United States a year and a half ago in exchange for more of 7 million dollars from Avellanada.
Velasco’s goal against Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup and his words about Messi
“We left sad. It was a game that we had two goals in favor of, we played a great game until 80 minutes and we lost concentration or I don’t know what happened. It’s a game that I never forgot in my life, I played against Messi, he gave me the shirt and a hug,” Velasco said after FC Dallas’ loss on penalties against Inter Miami.

Velasco took Messi’s shirt last night in the Leagues Cup, but he had to do prior engineering to achieve it. “I spoke before the game with Leo, but I did not ask him for the shirt at any time. I have a person in common who was his childhood friend and he gave me a secret so that he laughs a little to decompress”, he confessed in a interview with TyC Sports.
And he added: “Seeing it in person was something impressive. I asked an Inter Miami assistant if I could ask Messi for the shirt because it made me a little embarrassed. Justo Facu (Quignón) was behind me and wanted to lead me first. Messi gave me gave it to me with no problem, gave me a hug and told me that he wished me luck”.
