Paredes’ gesture to Russo’s family after missing wake for Argentina | OneFootball

More than a week after his death, the Boca world continues to bid farewell to Miguel Ángel Russo. In recent hours, the family and the coach’s closest circle held an intimate ceremony to say goodbye to the manager at La Bombonera, where his ashes were scattered.

Taking advantage of his presence, Leandro Paredes met with all of the coach’s loved ones. The midfielder, who had been unable to attend the wake due to his trip to the United States with the Argentine National Team, offered his condolences in person to the family.

The holding midfielder landed in Ezeiza in the early afternoon on Wednesday, after spending the past week in Miami. “Miguel would have wanted me to stay here, to play, to honor him by playing football, and that’s what we decided,” he explained regarding his absence from last week’s wake.
