The coach of that champion team spoke exclusively with TyC Sports and referred to the anniversary of the title. "It's a very special day," he said. In addition, he gave his opinion about Battaglia and referred to how his relationship with Riquelme turned out.

Miguel Ángel Russo left his feelings about the anniversary today of winning the 2007 Copa Libertadores. “I thank the fans for the messages they send me from everywhere. Entering the history of Boca is the greatest thing there is, ”he confirmed exclusively with TyC Sports.

The technical director of that xeneize team stressed that “it is a very special day, because it was a historic event”. In addition, regarding the importance of Juan Román Riquelme in that conquest of America against Gremio in Porto Alegre, he added: "It was something spectacular and it is always on my mind."

Regarding Sebastián Battaglia, Boca's current coach and who replaced him in office, he was forceful. “I was chosen for something at that time and so was he. The club is following a line that has been thought through”, he stated about the decisions made by the leader of the Football Council.

The reading of Russo, who currently works at Al-Nassr (Saudi Arabia), about the technical director was that he "has to continue gaining experience and the important thing is that he knows the club." Meanwhile, he added: “It is not easy at all to take charge of the campus without having a history in that world.”

Why Russo left Boca
The second cycle came to an abrupt end after a great start. “I was lucky to come back and win two titles. The pandemic hurt me a lot, because I had the team with projection and it had to stop. It hurt me to lose the semifinal with Santos, I didn't have it in my head at all, ”he indicated.

When analyzing the different contexts that were experienced in Boca and compared to the present that Battaglia had to go through, he slipped that "he

had a book of passes that was very important", In relation to this, he maintained: "Perhaps it was not like the one that had touched me the previous year”.
