Lucas Castroman, Boca's latest signing, praised his new teammates, and the institution, and affirmed to the press that when Boca showed an interest in him he couldn't refuse but to join the club.
"Today I am at the team where I always dreamed to be as a youngster,"affirmed Castroman, who on Tuesday commenced training with his new club at Casa Amarilla, La Boca, Buenos Aires.
Castroman, who on Wednesday will travel to Tandil with the rest of the squad as they prepare for the Torneos de Verano, declared that he can play in a number of different positions, a talent that can be very useful for the team this season.
"I play some matches as a striker, and others as a midfielder," he said.
The tricky former Argentine international, who has played for Lazio, Udinese, Velez Sarsfield, and Club America, insists that he will do his utmost to help the South American champions achieve more success this season.
"Boca don't just have one team, they have up to two or three teams, and all their players are of a very high quality, and we have to do our best to help the club reach all their objectives, which is to fight for all the tournaments they participate in," he stated.
The highly-rated striker, who didn't live up to the expectation generated by his move to his last club, America of Mexico, told reporters that he was very well received by the Boca squad, and he is looking forward to his one-year contract with the club.
"When they asked me to join Boca I didn't hesitate, I respect the other clubs I played for, especially Velez, who I did my best for when I was there, but Boca is Boca," he explained.
Finally, Castroman defended claims made by Juan Roman Riquelme earlier in the week:
"We all have to work to our full capacity to earn ourselves a place in the team."
Castroman is hoping that at Boca he can rediscover the same form that had him voted as the best player in the Argentine First Division a few seasons ago.
