Lucas Blondel opens up: «The hardest part was when they blamed Morena» | OneFootball

Huracán’s full-back addressed the rumors about his exclusion and defended Morena Beltrán, his journalist girlfriend.

Lucas Blondel publicly spoke about his difficult spell at Boca Juniors and the reports that accused him of leaking information to the press. The current Huracán player referred in particular to the impact those rumors had on his personal life.

“The most painful thing for me is when they mention her and hold her responsible for something that isn’t true,” he said in an interview with the program La Noche de TyC Sports, referring to his partner, journalist Morena Beltrán.

Defense of his partner and denial of rumors

The full-back was emphatic in denying the accusations and said there was never any proof against him. “When things were going well for me, nobody said I was leaking things. The Boca world is very difficult, a lot of things are said that never happen, and people believe they do,” he explained.

He also stressed that what affected him most was that the criticism reached his partner: “You get more used to rumors yourself, but it hurts when they involve your family.”

The support of the Boca squad

Blondel also described how he experienced the situation behind closed doors in the dressing room and made it clear that he always had the support of his teammates.

“Honestly, I’m calm because my teammates knew it wasn’t true. At the time I spoke with some of the leaders, and they told me there was no problem, that they knew the kind of person I am,” he said.

As he explained, the media controversy coincided with him losing footballing consideration during the spells of Miguel Ángel Russo and Claudio Úbeda.

A new chapter at Huracán

After eight months without playing, Blondel found continuity at El Globo, where he once again felt important under the management of Diego Martínez.

The defender has already made five appearances and scored two goals, including one in the Copa Argentina against Olimpo and another recently in the rout over Gimnasia in the Apertura.

In this way, Blondel is leaving behind a difficult chapter at Boca and is looking to relaunch his career with regular playing time and a leading role at Huracán.
