Boca squad deeply concerned over Russo’s health situation | OneFootball

At Boca, all thoughts are on Miguel Ángel Russo. Although the squad and coaching staff have resumed training at the Ezeiza facility with their usual professionalism, the truth is that the atmosphere and the downcast expressions made it clear that everyone’s mind is focused on the health of the coach, who is currently undergoing home hospitalization with a guarded prognosis.

There is no enthusiasm for anything in Ezeiza. The group, which started Tuesday morning in the gym and later did fieldwork on one of the auxiliary pitches, is visibly affected by the difficult time their 69-year-old coach is going through.

Even though they are constantly keeping up with his progress behind closed doors, the medical report Boca released this Monday regarding Russo’s health was a shock for a team that had become more united than ever under his leadership.

So much so that the team’s leaders, with Leandro Paredes at the forefront, tried to arrange a visit to their coach to support him in this fight against his illness. In the end, the meeting could not be arranged for various medical reasons, but until just a few days ago, there was ongoing communication between the parties by phone.

Russo’s delicate situation has deeply affected the entire Boca community and inevitably impacts the general mood day to day. However, internally they know that their coach wants, more than anyone, for them to “keep working,” a motto he has carried as a banner and instilled since his return to the club—and throughout his entire career.

And that’s exactly what happened this morning and will continue in the same spirit as the week goes on, despite the emotional downturn and understandable concern, because it is the leader’s message and he has earned that absolute respect from everyone, both inside and outside the club.
