"I want to stay in Boca and we will formalize it quietly without any problems. We will make everything official first, but we are fine," Russo admitted at an open-air press conference, with the presence of journalists for the first time since the activity returned in soccer.
The Soccer Council offered to extend their relationship until December 2021, beyond the results until the end of the year.
The idea is to formalize it in the coming weeks.
Russo in phrases
The rivals in the Cup and in the local tournament.
"In the Libertadores there are six teams from Brazil, it is a high percentage and we got one of them. We respect everyone, but we look for the best. One does not choose the rival, we trust Boca and what we do ... In the tournament I think the best thing is to be able to compete again, we needed it and we are excited about that possibility. "
Coudet, the coach of Inter de Porto Alegre, Boca's rival in the second round of the Copa Libertadores.
The situation of Sebastián Villa,
who still remains unused.
"Sebastián is a case that we have been dealing with beyond what is legal because we have been working on the human. We are always on top of him, but outside of everything that is Justice. That is from the lawyers. He is very well and we hope that all these situations are resolved and we find the moment and the ways. It is very easy to punish, but we are at a stage in which we must prevent so that this type of situation Boca does not have it again, "reflected Russo.
And he continued with his presentation: "It is about talking, educating, teaching and we live in a violent society. If all this is of any use to us is to think about what we want as a club in the future. We are more interested in the human, At least with my part I had a lot of dialogue, a lot of rapprochement, he worked very well, he continues working and I have been with groups of psychologists at his side for 5 months. As a club, we are satisfied with the way we have acted. Punishing is very easy, educating and prevention is what we do with the people responsible for these situations. "
Russo explained how they are working with Villa.
Regarding the return to the courts of the Colombian, however, he was cautious
.
"We go day by day and he always trained. Whether I decide to use him in a friendly or not, it does not differ from what we think and seek. They ask me about the legal, but we go to the human. We are satisfied, aware of the situation . There are times to respect, so we are cautious. To take it in the best way, with the conviction that we have and what we need. "
Andrada's injury.
"Esteban's thing is more as a precaution because he is a National Team player and the round of 16 is coming up. Maybe on Monday or Tuesday we will see him training, but we must be careful. Day by day will decide if I put him back, because that will depend on a lot of other issues. He plays qualifiers and also the round of 16 of the Cup. "
Russo also referred to the situation of
Cristian Pavón
, who is due to return to the club from MLS in January.
"I do not know the issue of roles, he is a Boca player and if he comes back we will sit down and talk. It is too early to resolve that. I do not know it but you have to have more certainty like any player who belongs to the club."
Russo prefers to be patient about Pavón's possible return.
The chance to have Roman in the team, laughing.
"Roman has to train a lot. I understand the president and beyond the question of wishes, any Boca fan would like that kind of situation to happen. I was lucky to enjoy it as a coach, they are something that escapes form. It was. an expression of desire and it is the thought of the people of the club. Hopefully players we can have players like him again to enjoy it. "
His analysis of Franco Soldano in his role as nine.
"Soldano plays as Soldano, it is not what I ask of him. He was always generous in his form and his way. Tevez plays as Tevez. I respect all opinions, situations but one of the great variety that may always have depending on the team We seek the best. It is not that I discovered something special about him or that we did something different. Carlos plays with him and Franco has a generous attitude, we seek and want more. Everything they say and say from the inside door is our situation to solve, the Boca player knows that is like that and he is very intelligent. "
The situation of Almendra.
"We have spoken with him at the time, but they are resolutions in which we remain on the sidelines, they are decisions of him and his environment."
The Cardona level.
"He is working hard and well. He gives us variants, he knows Boca and these are questions that we put on the balance before bringing in a player. He has not played for a long time, he is coming back. Overnight I know there is nothing, but they are possibilities and circumstances according to the levels it is important to have them ".
