Marcos Rojo was the one scored by the fans of Estudiantes de La Plata in the match against Boca Juniors this Sunday. The pincharratas did not forgive the defender that in 2021 he went to Xeneize. Therefore, every time the player emerged from the lower ones of the Lion touched the ball, he received a shower of whistles and boos. This is how the brothers of the former Manchester United player, Micaela and Franco, expressed their anger on social media.
Since entering the playing field of the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, local fans began to whistle Rojo, who at the time was a benchmark for the fans of Pincha as he was part of the squad that won the Copa Libertadores in 2009 and the 2010 Apertura Tournament and got into the heart for his surrender. In addition, it was the entity that received it in February 2020 after not taking place at United.
Rojo arrived at that time on loan for six months, with the intention of showing himself in Argentine football ahead of that year's Copa America. He could only play one game in the 1-2 defeat to Defensa y Justicia and after some injuries, then the pandemic prevented him from playing and he had to return to England.
At the beginning of 2021 Estudiantes tried to repatriate him again, but the player chose Boca Juniors and there the conflict with the fans arose. In the same venue where he was received as a hero two years ago, this Sunday was the center of the insults and whistles of Estudiantes fans, which were heard on the television broadcast and his brothers reacted and banked him on their Instagram accounts that made the social network burn for his comments and responses some of his followers.
Micaela uploaded a story to Instagram where a woman is heard mocking the fall of Estudiantes. “He lost the undefeated, ha ha ha! Fucking prick!” , is heard in the background, while television shows images of the meeting.
The reaction of the fans was not long in coming: “To think that the family would be taking cigarettes to prison if it weren't for Verón and Estudiantes,” said user @escueladelbidon. While @estudian7es shot: “Thank you that thanks to Estudiantes I had to eat”.
The tempers, far from calming down, motivated the fight of the Leon fans that ended up falling 0-1 against the team led by Sebastián Battaglia after the goal converted by Luis Advíncula.
The move was joined by Franco Rojo, brother of the central defender, who shared a provocative message on the same social network: “That's what happens to whistle the kids of the club, parrots”. He also received the reactions of Estudiantes supporters, but he preferred not to respond.
It should be remembered that before the match Juan Sebastián Verón and Gastón “la Gata” Fernández promoted receiving him with respect to his former partner and on their networks they published messages so that people do not mistreat Rojo. “The same hug from everyone. Beyond the moments, the anger, nobody forgets your love for your home,” the Witch put on Instagram, while the former flyer, currently representing footballers, installed the hashtag #YoTeVoyAplaudir. Most of the public pincha did not catch that move and Rojo had a hostile climate in the UNO.
