And beyond the review of that conquest, he referred to the present, the immediate future and also the versions that spoke of an exit to the Colombian National Team.

"Beyond the contract, I am very happy and happy in the place where I am.

His last name had emerged as a chance before the crisis that was generated in the coffee team in the defeats against Uruguay and Ecuador (both by a landslide) and the possible departure of Carlos Queiroz at the helm.

But Russo, who two weeks ago signed with Boca until 2021, never analyzed that chance.

The Cup is at home.
