“Miguel Borja too mouth?” is the question that fans of the Ribera club have been asking themselves for several days. As the hours passed, the rumors became more and more intense. It is even said that the former River striker, who will be released from the millionaire asylum on December 31st, is said to have had some form of contact with the Xeneize authorities. The truth is that there is still nothing certain… or at least nothing that has been made public.
Days ago, in a note via video call with ESPN F90Borja caused surprised smiles from the show’s interviewers. When asked if he would answer the Boca president’s call, Juan Roman Riquelmethe Colombian player initially said: “Don’t let me get in there.” It should be made clear that the striker is still a River player.
He then continued: “I have a brother here (in Colombia) who is a Boca fan and he laughed as soon as he heard you. I can’t say, “I won’t drink this water.” Now I’m enjoying the holidays. I said it once: Back before I went to River, there were contacts with people from the (Boca) city council. Would you take care of Riquelme? I have to ask my brother (laughs)”. Borja’s brother, who said he was a Boca fan, entered the scene and blurted out: “We have to listen to the offer, see what Román says. If we suddenly go there with everything, to the Bombonera.”
Borja, the hummingbird, had very nice moments in the river shirt, especially with Martín Demichelis as coach. But his significant decline in performance since Marcelo Gallardo took over as technical director disappointed fans and led to Núñez’s club not renewing his contract, which expires at the end of the year. Only then will the Colombian have the opportunity to determine his future.
In the statement, the striker accepted the responsibility he bore for football’s attrition in River. It was self-critical. “I’m a little disappointed because I didn’t leave the way I wanted, namely with a title. The final year is always nice to come out with a title and be the protagonist; This didn’t happen to me, it wasn’t a good year, I accept it and recognize it, it’s not easy but it helps me grow. I’m turning 33 and you learn. It was difficult, also for the family. It’s difficult when I miss a goal, I miss penalties, I’m the first to hit hard. It’s for learning and growing,” Borja said.
