[Sport] The story of Blondel, the cover that Boca seeks for the defense and how he plays

[FNX Magokiler]

Tigre's right-back was trained at Atlético Rafaela and played a large part of his career in the Primera Nacional before standing out in the Matador jersey.

Boca seeks to continue adding names for the second part of the year and one of the names in the folder to be reinforced is Lucas Blondel, Tigre's right-back who in 2022 had a great level at Matador despite the fact that this year he has lost ownership . The 26-year-old defender is a name that was not on the radar but has a long history in Argentine soccer that began with Atlético Rafaela.

Although he was born in Buenos Aires, when he was a boy his family moved to Rafaela, in Santa Fe, and he began to play in the most representative team in the city. At La Crema he went through his entire history since he arrived at the institution when he was only 7 years old. There he made it all the way playing in both the Rafaelina League and the AFA championships and his debut was at the age of 20.

He had his debut on April 30, 2017 when he entered against Olimpo to replace Ángelo Martino on date 22 of the First Division by Juan Manuel Llop. That contest ended as a starter and for the following tournament, with the team already in the second category, he established himself as the undisputed winger.

Although his original position is that of a winger on the right, in some circumstances he had to play as a defender despite the fact that he is not very tall - he is 1.78 meters tall - and more advanced. He was part of the team that was the protagonist of the First National and reached the playoffs in the 2020/21 season in which Rafaela reached the semis and lost to Platense, who would later be promoted.

After that disappointment, he was transferred to Tigre, as happened with other players from that squad who stood out, such is the case of Ángelo Martino.

 

 

Today at Newell's, and Enzo Copetti, who plays in the MLS in the United States after a great stint with Racing . El Matador bought 70 percent of his token - the rest is kept by Crema - for just over 300 thousand dollars and Blondel changed his shirt after 17 years.

At the beginning he started as a substitute in the Victoria team that was in the second division but he soon earned his place and was a key player in the team that managed to be promoted. In 2022 with Diego Martíenz's team as one of the revelations, he had a great performance in the League Cup, scoring three goals in which the Matador lost in the final with Boca. He also kept his place in the Pro League.

However, this year, despite the fact that he started as a starter, he ended up losing ownership in the last half before the arrival of Martín Ortega, a winger from Quilmes who has sometimes played as a central midfielder. His drop in level partly had to do with his team's drop in performance.

Likewise, in the summer transfer market he was about to be transferred to Santos from Brazil thanks to the fact that he stood out as a very offensive winger, the best facet of him, and with goal power. However, the transfer did not materialize. Now it seems that his destiny would be at Xeneize, who could take him in exchange for the termination clause of 1.8 million dollars.

In total, during his time with Crema Blondel, he played 72 games and scored 5 goals, an average of one every 14 games. Meanwhile, in the Matador he has 97 matches and 7 celebrations, which makes up a slightly better average and he is excited to transfer it to La Boca.
