Marcos Rojo keen to stay at Racing after red card against River | OneFootball

Marcos Rojo spoke this Friday with the ESPN F12 program, hosted by Mariano Closs, where he apologized to the fans of Racing. The experienced center-back stated that he intends to continue playing for “La Academia”.

The Racing defender, Marcos Rojo, was at the center of controversy in the match against River after being shown a red card. The punishment was harsh: the Disciplinary Tribunal suspended him for four matches, something the player himself found out live during an interview.

Far from appearing upset, Rojo chose a conciliatory message and reaffirmed his commitment to Racing. “Thankfully, I’ve had a very good career. I could be at home, calm and not worrying about anything, but I like being at a big club, fighting for things, and I’m in the ideal place to do that. I was having a great game until the mistake, and then I made it worse with the red card”, the defender said, making it clear that he wants to stay at La Academia.

In that same interview, upon learning of the suspension, Rojo looked surprised but accepted the decision. He also apologized for what happened: “I have never disrespected this shirt. I’m grateful to this club for allowing me to keep playing football”, he said, showing self-criticism and commitment to the team.

The sending-off and suspension come at a key moment in the season, with Racing competing in the domestic tournament and the Copa Sudamericana. However, Marcos Rojo showed that he is more than committed and eager to keep fighting for La Academia in everything that lies ahead.

Rojo’s case reflects the importance of discipline and responsibility in a team that is chasing titles. Although he will not be available for the upcoming matches, the defender has already made it clear that his goal is to return stronger and continue being a defensive leader for Racing.
