Santiago Dalmaso: The Midfielder Making Waves at Boca

The midfielder, who made his debut against Independiente ⁣del Valle in the Copa Sudamericana, is attracting the attention of the new coach. He joined the⁣ club through a Facebook post and has already played in⁢ the U-20 Copa Libertadores.

Fernando Gago’s arrival as Boca’s manager brought about several structural⁤ changes to the training routine at the ​Ezeiza training complex. Players must now arrive⁢ at⁤ 7 a.m. for‍ a mandatory weight check, and players who ⁤are overweight will not⁣ be allowed‌ to compete. The training camp time has also become ⁤longer. But Pintita was also surprised by the level of everyday life of Santiago‍ Dalmaso. He is slowly establishing himself⁢ in the first team.

The⁢ story of this ⁣midfielder’s arrival at the club is quite interesting. His father Marcelo, a former player in the regular Villegas⁢ league, broke the news to him through a Facebook post informing‍ him that the club’s ⁤trials had been announced. ​He was signed by a youth team scout ‍in 2018 ⁣and ⁢was supported throughout ⁢his development.

Although he has won several titles in Genaise colors in the youth ranks, ‌Dalmaso has played a particularly important ​role ⁣in ​the first team, ​playing a pivotal role ‍in Mariano Herron’s side that reached the final ​of ⁢the U-20 Copa Libertadores. Then, unexpectedly, they lost 2-1 ​to Flamengo. In fact, he even scored in‍ the⁤ semi-final against Ecuador’s ‍Aucas.

Those who ‌have frequently watched‍ him in the third tier claim‍ that he is a midfielder ⁤with strong tenacity who helps in defence. He also has good⁤ passing​ ability and individual skills.‍ He formed an interesting partnership with Milton ⁤Delgado, ⁢another player who debuted this ‍year.

After signing his first professional contract until December 2028, ⁣he made his first-team debut out of‍ necessity‍ under manager Diego Martinez. Ahead of the‍ round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, Boca late submitted ‌a good-faith list with changes, including four reinforcements for the game against Independiente del Valle: Gary Medel, Thomas Belmonte, Brian Aguirre and Milton ⁢Gimenez.

So the midfielder was recalled and came on in the second half of the drawn game, replacing Javez Saralegi in the 86th minute. In⁣ doing ​so, he became the ‍42nd player to debut in the club’s top league under Juan Roman Riquelme’s administration. ⁤Under Gago, he was called up again for the ‍match against Deportivo Riestra, ‌which ended ⁣in ⁢a 1-1 draw, and ⁣could feature again this Sunday against Lanus at La Fortaleza.
