Reinforcements continue to join
Lionel Messi
and
Gerardo Martino
's
Inter Miami
: this Tuesday everything was cleared for the arrival of Paraguayan
Matías Rojas
.
Thus, the cast owned by
David Beckham
looks more and more like a
Dream Team
, a kind of galactic team, just like the one the Englishman was part of in his days at Real Madrid.
The Paraguayan Rojas was released from Corinthians due to non-payment.
During the week there was speculation about a possible arrival in Boca and there were strong rumors that he would land in Mexico.
But Inter Miami broke the market and hired him.
He will be a teammate of Messi, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
The 28-year-old Paraguayan's time in Brazil was not good:
he did not score goals in 30 games
.
He quickly entered into conflict over economic issues and was left with the pass in his power.
Rojas came to Racing at the insistent request of Eduardo Coudet in exchange for $2,500,000 for half of the pass, with an obligation to purchase another 30 percent.
He debuted in July 2019 in the Argentine Cup against Boca Unidos.
The Paraguayan footballer's beginnings in the Academy were not good either: he had a hard time adapting after his good time in Defensa y Justicia.
"They're going to applaud him here. He has the left foot of Ruben Paz or Mago Capria
," Chacho repeated.
After 4 years, Rojas said goodbye freely and in conflict with the leaders, leaving mixed feelings among the fans of the Avellaneda cast.
The recurring muscle injuries did not allow him to explode.
In the first three seasons he scored 17 goals in 108 games.
In the last semester, where he gave the best version of himself, he scored
9 goals in 18 games
.
Fernando Gago
, unlike the rest of the coaches, placed him as a right winger and not as a midfielder.
"Playing against Messi was the best thing that happened to me in football, until now. I fulfilled a dream. He is an idol, the best of all time. There is, there was not and there will be no other player like Messi,"
Rojas told
Clarín
in 2019, regarding the duel in which they faced Paraguay-Argentina.
In that same note, the left-handed midfielder said that he was left wanting to have a Leo shirt: "A collaborator went to the locker room to ask for a couple of shirts, but they told him that Leo was not in the mood. We had tied and Argentina "I wasn't having a great time. I was also on that side and you don't feel like talking to anyone, so it's understandable. I hope to have another chance."
Thus, Rojas joins a long list of footballers who in recent months arrived at Inter Miami to surround Messi, Busquets, Jordi Alba, and to dream of becoming a member of the MLS.
Among others, Luis Suárez, Federico Redondo, Tomás Avilés, Facundo Farías, Diego Gómez, Julián Gressel and Nicolás Freire arrived, so that Tata Martino has its own Dream Team.
