He was already famous, but in Qatar his last name became a legend. Carlos Javier McAllister saw how his son Alexis, a midfielder for the Argentine national team, played in a huge World Cup and celebrated the Cup with Lionel Messi as an unattainable figure. “Children are there to surpass parents,” he says now, by telephone, in this contact with El Comercio after a remarkable week for a club that he knows so well -Boca-, and a role -the winger- that he he dominated during his stay in the xeneize box and that today, although in the right lane, belongs to the fire of the Peruvian Luis Advíncula.

—Has the level of Advíncula surprised you in recent weeks?
No. He is a good player, I saw him with Colo Colo (for the Copa Libertadores). He is very well, within his usual level, now with the change in position. He is a player who has performed on the team since the first day he arrived.
—You played 4 seasons in Boca in the same position. Is it more difficult to be a winger than a winger or vice versa?
An important physical condition is needed and the Peruvian has it. From what I know, he seems to be a positive leader in the group and now more and more free to play in some other role.
Has it been a good reinforcement? Do you think you can extend your contract?
Without a doubt, he has been a good reinforcement and gave the club every time he had to. He even scores goals now (N.deR. He scored two goals in this Copa Libertadores, both left-footed).
“There are many players who left Boca Juniors in an unclear way in recent times. Zambrano was no exception”
—Is he also of the idea that Boca should not have let the other Peruvian, Carlos Zambrano, go?
There are many players who left Boca Juniors in an unclear way in recent times. Zambrano was no exception. But that’s it, when one leaves it is no longer an option and only remains in the history of the club. Time will tell. When Zambrano arrived at Boca Juniors he was an unknown player in Argentina. I think he complied. He was up to it.
—There is a lot of talk that Alexis, your son, due to the great World Cup is in the orbit of the top teams in Europe like Juventus, have you talked to him about that?
Yes, he always takes everything very naturally, for example, when we were fixing the contract with Brighton, I told him: “You think about playing and nothing else, don’t think about the contract, how much they’re going to pay you, we’re leaving.” to worry that it is the best contract you can have and do everything so that you are well ”. That makes the player calm and only think about playing football.
“Actually, I imagine that phone hasn’t stopped ringing.
They’re starting to call, that’s true, but our answer is always that first you have to talk to the club, and if the club has a logical orientation in the transfer that you plan with another institution, there won’t be any kind of problem. First you have to talk to Brighton and then you’ll see. It is very important that the club is happy and satisfied with what is going to happen.
