This Friday, Boca presented the new model of its shirt, a creation by Adidas that is a tribute to the champion of the 1981 Metropolitan Tournament, 40 years after the consecration of that team in which Diego Maradona shone.
Marcos Rojo was one of the xeneizes figures who participated in the advertising campaign and after the launch he proudly shared a photograph on his networks.
There he can be seen wearing blue and gold, posing in one of the stalls in La Bombonera.
"An icon of world football returns, from the neighborhood to the world," wrote the defender.
Among all the comments and the "likes", there was a very particular one that came from the other side of the ocean.
It was that of
Ander Herrera
, the Spanish midfielder who shared a squad with Rojo at Manchester United, and today he is part of Paris Saint-Germain, revolutionized after the arrival of Messi.

"Spectacular,"
the 31-year-old born in Bilbao said with good vibes.
What Herrera did not imagine was the return he received from Rojo, who thanked him for the observation but "sent it to the angle" with the tone of the answer he chose to carry his friend.
"We change whenever you want
for one of yours and one of Leo,
" Marcos replied to Ander, with the speed that he shows every time he has to go out to the crossroads of a rival attack.

Erected as one of the new symbols of Boca, a painting that his whole family is a fan of, Marcos spoke on behalf of all the xeneizes fans who celebrated the appearance of this model that recalls the iconic 1981 champion.
It is that, for Boca fans, the fury for Messi's shirt that is lived in the streets of Paris, with queuing blocks waiting for a model, does not compare with the expectation that had been generated with the jacket that he will wear Russo's team this Sunday against Estudiantes de La Plata.
