Miguel Ángel Russo spoke after Boca's defeat to Huracán by 1-0 in Parque Patricios. His team reached the worst streak in the club's history without victories and for that reason, the coach took responsibility: "I take charge of everything," he commented at the press conference.
"I take charge of everything, because it is appropriate that I take charge of everything and we will have to find a way around it, improve and continue working", began 'Miguelo' in his first response. He then referred to what happened in the change of Giménez for Merentiel: "there was a paperwork issue on the bench, nothing more".
On the other hand, Miguel Ángel Russo used the space in the press conference to address Boca's fans: "I ask for your forgiveness and apologies. This is not normal and natural at this stage. We have to fix it among ourselves alone, behind closed doors and nothing more, as it should be".
He was then asked if he thinks the team hit rock bottom: "I don't say it hit rock bottom because you ultimately have material. I think it's time to change some things as well, in which, these 15 days we have, we have to work a lot to achieve the change we need and the club needs. That's the idea. I take charge of everything, not the players or anything. Don't look for things where there aren't any".
Russo has his worst start of the cycle at Boca: he has 7 games without a win.
Also, Russo commented: "It's not normal, I don't like to lose, I'm not used to losing with Boca. This is my personal reality, it's the first time it's happened to me, but I am strong, in the emotional sense, in a lot of things".
