Shortly before the match, the manager of Racing, Reuben CapriaHe admitted that the club intends to renovate to keep it on campus, at least another year. “The idea is that Matías Rojas continues in Racing, he is of a high level and that’s why we are always attentive. Matías is at an optimal level and we will make the necessary effort. We appreciate all our players,” said the former footballer in the game preview for the ESPN screen.

Rojas is the Academy’s top scorer in the Professional League, with five goals, and is decisive in the current season and in second place in 2022, in the tournament that Boca won in the last round.

“The other time counted because a year ago they made fun of us because Matías Rojas didn’t leave Racing and now they made fun of us to let him stay. That’s why diagnoses can never be definitive on players because contexts can change and hold them accountable.”Capria noticed.
