El defensor reveló cómo terminó su relación con el presidente del Xeneize.

Overview

  • Rojo says Miguel Ángel Russo told him on the U.S. trip that he would not be considered, citing his age and level, shortly after Ayrton Costa arrived.
  • He recounts training to be available for matches against Bayern and Auckland, then being left out, arguing with Russo, and asking the Football Council to finalize his departure.
  • According to Rojo, Boca ultimately rescinded his contract after he requested an exit so he could continue playing elsewhere.
  • He says he asked Juan Román Riquelme face to face if there was a problem, was told there was not, and never spoke to him again or got a farewell.
  • He disputes reports of indiscipline after the Independiente match, calls his clash with Mariano Herrón a football-only discussion, and says his later bid to change eligibility rules, including a call to Chiqui Tapia, was rejected.
