🎙️Exclusive: Ander Herrera on Herrón's first days at Boca
OneFootball had the opportunity to speak with Ander Herrera, thanks to Rent-A-Car, and we took the chance to ask him about the recent change of coach.Without a doubt, one of the hottest topics in recent weeks for Xeneize has been the departure of Fernando Gago and the subsequent arrival of Mariano Herrón. Although he takes over as interim, it has already been confirmed that he will direct all the matches to be played in the Apertura playoffs.
Faced with this, Ander told us how he saw the arrival of his new coach and his total commitment to making it work.
Mariano has an enormous illusion. He is a person from the house. He wants to help the club try to fight for this title. I have the best relationship. I will try to help him from my point of view. We have had a couple of conversations and I am here to add, to enjoy this experience in Boca and always thinking about the group. Whatever is in my power to help the club, the team, I will do it.
The first big test for the blue and gold team will be this Saturday from 9:00 PM when they host Lanús in the Bombonera for the round of 16.
Ander Herrera has partnered with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, official sponsor of the UEFA Europa League and the Conference League, for their latest campaign "Rent-A-Player".

Is Argentina vs New Zealand on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Rugby Championship
Argentina and New Zealand begin their Rugby Championship campaigns with an intriguing meeting in Cordoba. The pair split their meetings in last year's edition of the tournament with the Pumas producing another landmark performance in Wellington to upset the All Blacks, though their fortunes since have been mixed. Another significant success against the British and Irish Lions was followed by two defeats to an understrength England on home soil, leaving Felipe Contepomi with a few questions to answer entering this tournament. New Zealand weren't quite at full force in July, either, though did emerge 3-0 series winners against a heavily-rotated France to give them momentum ahead of the Rugby Championship. Here's everything you need to know. When is Argentina vs New Zealand? Argentina vs New Zealand is due to kick off at 10.10pm BST on Saturday 16 August at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Cordoba. How can I watch it? Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports +, with coverage on the channel from 10pm BST. A live stream will be available via Sky Go and NOW. Team news Argentina welcome back fly half Tomas Albornoz and flanker Marcos Kremer in two significant additions after the twin Test defeats to England in July. Albornoz takes over from Santiago Carreras in a backline full of threat, while Kremer bolsters a typically strong back five of the pack with Guido Petti and Juan Martin Gonzalez only on the bench. Santiago Chocobares is also back amongst things after his title-winning exertions with Toulouse in the Top 14. Scott Barrett returns to skipper the All Blacks having missed the final two Tests against France with injury, with the lock partnering youngster Fabian Holland in the second row. Du'Plessis Kirifi earns another opportunity on the openside while Rieko Ioane continues to occupy a slot on the wing, and Beauden Barrett is preferred to Damian McKenzie at fly half.

Andrés Cantor recounts calling 2022 World Cup Final as a life-long Argentina fan
Yahoo Sports contributors Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros are joined by Argentine-American sportscaster Andrés Cantor who recounts calling the 2022 World Cup between Argentina and France. Hear the full conversation on the 'The Cooligans' podcast - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen. Andrés joined Yahoo Sports on behalf of Buchanan's Whisky and its FIFA World Cup 2026™ Dance Contest. View more Video Transcript I think for a lot of people, what they first found out about you is obviously the goal call, right? Gold, but when Kolo Muani is one on one with Emi Martinez, did you want to yell no? How did you, how did you handle that? How did you restrain yourself? That is such a, that is such a good observation because I, I'm gonna share something with you that I haven't shared too many times. I did not want to watch, uh, the replay of the World Cup that I called. I, I think I watched it in the first year anniversary because I did not remember. I was so, like, into my emotions that I didn't remember how the rest of the 123rd minutes went from, you know, my, my style and such a big occasion, such a big game. I was thoroughly relieved. Uh, when I listened to every single word that I said during the 123 minutes and the penalty kicks, that was a very well-balanced, uh, broadcast. Um, and then I didn't remember what the heck I said when Kolo Muani was one on one, and I thought I had missed the call, and no, I did not. I said these are my exact words, Lovagane Francia. All I remember when I saw. Otamendi missed the, the clearance on his bicycle kick. I was, I, I mean, I was dying inside. I was ready to cry for the wrong reason. And I said on the broadcast Lovagane Francia, which means France is going to win him and I, but your brain was saying I cannot. I don't know, but I don't even know if I saw the save. I did because obviously I referenced it, but I was like, man, that final, that moment, that, that everything was like something else. Close

Reece, Taukei'aho doubles see the All Blacks win 41-24 over Argentina in the Rugby Championship
CORDOBA, Argentina (AP) — Winger Sevu Reece scored two first half tries and hooker Samisoni Taukei'aho added two in the second to propel New Zealand to a 41-24 win over Argentina Saturday in its opening match in the Rugby Championship. Reece's tries in the ninth and 43rd minutes book-ended a first half in which the All Blacks scored four tries to lead 31-10 by halftime. Scrumhalf Cortez Ratima scored off a break by fullback Will Jordan and backrower Ardie Savea touched down for his 30th test try, adding to his record for an All Blacks forward. Argentina came back into the match strongly in the second half with a superb solo try from a scrum by flyhalf Tomas Albornoz, who scored 14 points and another to backrower Joaquin Oviedo when the All Blacks were down to 14 men. Oviedo is a native of Cordoba where the Pumas were playing for the first time in 11 years. The All Blacks have tended to fade out of matches in the second spell but managed to halt Argentina's momentum and rebuild their lead with a quick double to to replacement hooker Samisoni Taukeiaho. Argentina was mostly starved of possession in the first spell, though it managed a try to winger Rodrigo Isgro. With a more direct approach in the second half, Argentina pressured the All Blacks and forced them into errors which conceded penalties. The All Blacks backline lacked timing a cohesion for most of the match. Beauden Barrett opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a penalty from 40 meters after he was the victim of a late tackle by Santiago Chocobares. Albornoz had a chance to reply from similar distance for Argentina but his penalty kick hit the upright and bounced back into play. Reece's opening try came in the ninth minute when the All Blacks took a lineout from a penalty. Hooker Codie Taylor peeled from the maul and Fletcher Newell and Savea went close before a long pass found Reece unmarked on the right wing. Argentina replied with a try to Isgro in similar circumstances. Chocobares retrieved Gonzalo Garcia's chip kick and the Pumas forwards went to work, setting up the platform from which Isgro scored. Argentina short-handed Prop Mayco Vivas was shown a yellow card in the 18th minute for cynical offending when he reached over a ruck and knocked the ball out of Ratima's hands. Argentina chose to bring on a prop and send winger Bautista Delguy to the sideline for 10 minutes. The All Blacks were slow to exploit their one man advantage but in the 24th minute, Will Jordan stepped out of a tackle and into the backfield where Argentina was short-handed, linking with Ratima who scored. Albornoz kicked a penalty in the 29th minute, keeping Argentina in the match at 17-10. But the All Blacks finished the half strongly with tries to Savea from a lineout and to Reece who scored in first half stoppage time. Albornoz made a clean break from a scrum to start the second half with a try, then Oviedo scored after the All Blacks had conceded several penalties close to their line. Center Billy Proctor was sent to the sin-bin. Taukei'aho dived over for the decisive try after a lineout from penalty gave the All Blacks a critical set piece close to the Pumas goalline. He scored again soon afterwards to expand the margin All Blacks who finished with center Anton Lienert-Brown in the sin-bin. The teams face each other again in the second round in Buenos Aires next Saturday. ___ AP rugby:
