Ander Herrera says defeats at Boca Juniors hit harder than at Manchester United or PSG

Ander Herrera says defeats with Boca Juniors feel tougher than losses during his time at Manchester United or Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Sitiboca.com.ar, the midfielder believes the club’s environment is different, with passionate support bringing extra responsibility. He says football in Buenos Aires is treated like a religion, emotions run high and setbacks carry greater weight.

Herrera notes that performance in every match matters given Boca’s history and expectations. The pressure for positive results is constant, which he says drives him to give his maximum and value the team’s fighting spirit.

He acknowledges difficult spells in Europe, but feels representing Boca raises standards even further. The rivalry with River Plate adds intensity, and he views each fixture as crucial, about pride as much as points.

Herrera also underlines the need to handle pressure. He says he has adapted across his career, learning to manage expectations, which he considers vital for any player at such an emblematic club.

Reflecting on his start at Boca, he expresses commitment to the team and supporters. He wants to give everything each time he steps on the pitch and aims to repay the backing with good results.
