Marcos Rojo wants to stay at Racing after his sending-off v River | OneFootball

Marcos Rojo spoke this Friday with the ESPN F12 program, hosted by Mariano Closs, where he offered an apology to the people 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 looking 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 upset about anything, but I like being at a big club, competing for things, and I’m in the ideal place to do that. I was having a great match 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 conversation, upon learning of the suspension, Rojo appeared surprised but accepted the decision. He also apologized for what happened: “I have never disrespected this jersey. 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 local 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 chasing titles. Although he will not be available for the upcoming matches, the defender has already made it clear that his goal is to come back stronger and continue being a leader in Racing’s defense.
