Tomás Pozzo suffered a very serious injury last Tuesday in the match between Godoy Cruz and Unión.
A few hours later, the worst was confirmed:
that Toto had once again suffered a torn cruciate ligament
, an injury equal to the one he had suffered last year when he was still playing for
Independiente
.
A few days after the publication of the official medical report, the midfielder posted a very harsh defense on his social networks,
in which he spoke about everything he has experienced throughout his career and in which he questions whether football is really something for him
.
Finally, he concluded that "football is like that, very cruel" and that there is nothing left but to "try again."

The complete release of Toto Pozzo
“After several days and rethinking things over and over again, I think about what I love and give my life to every day if it is for me.
If my body is really giving me a signal that I did something wrong along the way.
Don't know.
Today thousands of things are going through my head and I am very weak," the footballer wrote on his Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts.
"I am a very sensitive and passionate person about what I do, I always left everything aside for my dream until I achieved it and I never gave up on anyone. I was always a good colleague, a good friend and an example of improvement for my family.
At my old club I made an incredibly quick recovery.
I put everything aside and put in the necessary love to return as quickly as possible doing 3 shifts a day.
They released me onto the field because my essence was always to prioritize the person in front of me and not my body and my soul.
Then I really think if this is really for me.
Don't know.
Today I only know that I need time and think about things.
I was so happy, I felt so comfortable with the affection and love of people every day.
Sometimes I think about whether these things are ever going to stop happening or do they happen because I'm thinking all the time that they can reappear in my best moments.
Today I need time to rethink things, how painful it is to go through this again and if it's really worth continuing.
I never wrote a word about absolutely anything because it's not my way of being.
I have a very closed personality and it is difficult for me to tell how I feel.
But this time I have a great pain in my chest that doesn't let me breathe.
It hurts me a lot to be off the court again for so long, but unfortunately we are exposed to this at all times.
I have no choice but to face and assimilate the situation that I have to go through and at 23 years old, take advantage of it or try to see the positive side of all this shit.
The love and support that people give me is admirable and really gives me a lot of satisfaction because it speaks to the kind of person I am.
Today I have to surround myself with my inner circle again and try again.
Football is like that, it is very cruel and we have no choice but to try again.
Finally this storm will pass and it won't knock me down.
Surely more will come and I will wait for them here firmly planted.”
Enzo Fernández's message for Pozzo
After this emotional publication, Enzo Fernández
responded to the Godoy Cruz player and sent him a message of support
.
"Toto strength
," wrote the current Chelsea footballer, wishing his colleague a speedy recovery.
Another torn ligament for Toto Pozzo
Pozzo again suffered a torn ligament in his left knee.
Thus, Godoy Cruz's offensive midfielder will be out for six to eight months
.
He suffered a similar injury to the one that postponed him during 2023 at Independiente.
Matías Roby,
Tomba
doctor , gave the diagnosis.
"Pozzo has broken the plastic ligament that was done in the previous operation. He is a 23-year-old boy, these are things that happen today in football
," he declared on Dos de Punta, a Mendoza radio program.
Oldrá contains Pozzo when he was injured against Unión.
Pozzo's injury occurred during the first half that Daniel Oldrá's team tied against Unión, at the Malvinas Argentinas, last Tuesday.
It was around 24 minutes, when the footballer fell to the floor after stepping wrong.
He tried to continue, but the doctors told him that he had to leave, and he burst into tears.
