The minute of silence turned into a magical moment of cheers and applause. Leandro Paredes and Claudio Úbeda, his former field assistant who became his next coach, released blue and yellow balloons with three gold stars, one for each title won, And also a shirt with the number 1956 -His year of birth- with the infinity symbol. In a box, his family watched the scene, excited. Although the coach on the bench was Ubeda last October 18 against Belgrano, the sound of the stadium remembered him: “Miguel Angel Russo.”
La Bombonera exploded that afternoon, as it did on nights of glory: “Thank you very much, Migello. Thank you very much, Migello. You did not give the cup, you did not give the joy. What you did for Boca is unforgettable in life.” The stadium looked the way Miguel liked it: crowded, colorful, and full of life. Then the match ends with defeat against the Cordoba team, but that is another story.
Finally, the jersey that honored the coach and was released into the air before that game attempted an unexpected flight through the sky with a strange result. It so happened that two days after the crushing victory in the Super Clásico against River, he learned that the Blue and Gold Jacket had landed… in another country. The earthquake occurred in Cañada Nieto, in the Soriano region, southwest of Uruguay, where only 430 people live. @Pepe_Temperan, a Uruguayan journalist who reported the discovery, said on his X account: “A young country product from Soriano working in the field found something that shines. It was the shirt that Boca Juniors sent to the sky in honor of Rosso in memory of the recently deceased former coach.”
The photos leave no doubt and show the historical piece: the deflated balloons were still attached to the shirt with the inscription intact “1956-∞”. It stands to reason that the producer couldn’t avoid being surprised when he found the shirt.
The image of Miguel Ángel Russo still stands and Claudio Úbeda could not help it: The super classic is hardly over Her tears escaped without permission In the midst of the general enthusiasm experienced by the Bombonera after a great victory mouth On the river, far surpassing the eternal rival. In a state of ecstasy, he hugged first his assistant Juvenal Rodriguez and then with every footballer who crossed his path into the tunnel. Among them is a very special one with Leandro Paredes.
Just one month and one day after his death Miguel Angel Russothe man who had no alternative but to continue leading a very defeated human group, finally had an afternoon of utmost happiness: “When the match was over, I gave Juvenal a big hug because we remembered Miguel. Pretty much everything you see about the team is an image of it. I’m sure he’s celebrating with us from above. We want to share this with him and his family, with whom we are in constant contact. We all dedicate it to him.”
Obada added:I was so excited because I saw Miguel’s flag, I knew how important it was for him and for all of us to be able to enter Copa Libertador.Q. It is impossible not to be touched and remembered, once I met face to face with Juvenal Rodriguez.” He concluded: “Losing Miguel is a very hard blow, he was our father. When the leader you expect to say to you, “This is good, this isn’t, keep it up,” leaves, it’s hard to go from day to day without that person, and it’s hard to fill that empty space. “We try to honor a lot of everything we learned from him,” he admitted.
