“It’s a bit of a delicate thing… When I arrived at Boca, a manager suggested this man to me for a question of energy… I call him by cabal, because we are true gentlemen (sic). I have called, I spoke to him, we zoomed in, he took a photo of me and so it all became quite viral. Today I have no direct relationship with that person, I don’t know him”, added the former San Lorenzo and Independiente player, among other teams.

And he closed: “It was a telephone communication, a photo; it transcended and in Argentina we started to talk a lot. They said that the astrologer made us win matches, that I counted on him a lot, there were many things ” I don’t have time to chat and go out and clarify. I have to dedicate myself to training, especially in these clubs where there is a lot of false information. Going out to clarify any false information is not my responsibility and I don’t take it as an important thing, I don’t there is no contact, I don’t know him”.
