This last operation that I had last year in Boca with Dr. Batista changed the lives of both of us, of everyone. It became a knee like when I was 16 years old, a new knee, without fluid, without pain, without discomfort. She allowed me to return to work in the best way. Nowadays, being able to enjoy this present for us is spectacular. Demonstrate once more to everyone that you are whole, active, that you can. Because so many things have been said last year… It wasn’t regarding killing me, it was regarding killing the Boca leadership,” the footballer recalled.

Those from La Ribera, with seven units, currently appear in eleventh place, three behind Sarmiento de Junín and Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero, the last to access those privileged positions.
