Enzo Pérez broke down and said a tearful goodbye to River in an emotional press conference

End of the cycle for Enzo Pérez in the River. And the farewell came with a title, the Champions Trophy, which allowed him to leave with ten Olympic laps under his belt. And pure emotion. After raising the cup with Jonatan Maidana and being honored by all his teammates by giving him the captain’s ribbon, the Mendoza native spoke in a press conference in which he didn’t stop crying.

“Today was my last match with River. Today ends a great stage of love. I have dreamed of it since I was a child, I have always dreamed of playing with this shirt, in this club. I will miss every ovation. I will miss the love and respect they have given me since day one. I have no doubt that I will miss them very much,” he told reporters in a long monologue in which he did not take questions.

When he was replaced by Jonatan Maidana, the River fans broke their hands to applaud the Mendoza native for the last time as he decided to say goodbye. Enzo leaves behind 241 games, 6 goals and 10 titles, the most important undoubtedly being the 2018 Copa Libertadores.
