Marcos Rojo's cycle at Boca is already over, although it has not yet been formalized on paper. Without minutes in the Club World Cup, without a place in the team, and with a strained relationship with the management and coaching staff, the former captain trains daily in Ezeiza, although with no prospects of playing again.
The tension with Miguel Ángel Russo, which ultimately sidelined him in the United States, marked the breaking point. In fact, last weekend, Rojo posted two photos training at Boca Predio accompanied by lyrics from the song "Cuando me ven" by Mike Towers, which many interpreted as a message directed at the coach and the club.
"Without your help, I progressed / When they bless me, it can't be / God blesses me, but Lucifer / Is trying to make me lose faith," says one of the lines chosen by the 35-year-old defender. Also: "My people asking me what needs to be done / The girls calling, they want to do it / They're jealous because they want to be like me / And they can't, not even if they're born again."
The questions multiply: Was it dedicated to Boca? To the Football Council or to Riquelme himself, with whom the relationship was already broken? Or perhaps it was for Estudiantes, the club where he was also recently involved in disagreements, despite attempts to return?
