“Boca or River?”. Oscar Ruggeri underwent the influencer’s frantic questionnaire Ezzekiel called “Which team is bigger?” Consequently, it had to respond, in speed, to the dichotomy between several clubs in Argentina and South America. Of course, the bidding between the two most popular casts in the country represented an extra difficulty for Cabezón, 62, who wore both shirts. However, the former defender did not seek a diplomatic solution. Without hesitation, he responded “River,” before continuing with the challenge..
It is worth remembering that the current TV analyst trained at Xeneize, a club from which he left along with Ricardo Gareca as a free agent, in the middle of a conflict. In Millonario, for his part, he marked an era, given that he was part of that legendary team that in 1986 won the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup, under the tutelage of Bambino Veira.
In March 2024, in an edition of F90by ESPNhad explained why he had become a fan of Núñez’s club, abandoning his sympathy for Boca. “I am a River fan, I want him to do very well and I want this president to do very well. It was the best decision of my life to come to River, I was there for three and a half years and I was happy. It hurt me when I went to Logroñés. When I arrived at River it seemed to me that I was arriving in Europe and I was not wrong,” he explained.
“They were the best moments I experienced in my long career because we didn’t lose, we won everything we played. It is not normal to be in a club for two years, three years and win everything, it was crazy,” he said about the reasons for his determination.
“In Boca we painted our numbers on our shirts, we didn’t concentrate, everyone went with their own car, we met an hour and a half before to play a game, it was crazy. In River it was the opposite,” he concluded then.
There were more attention-grabbing responses in the ping pong. For example, when they gave him the choice between Estudiantes or Vélez, the club he played for, he stayed with Pincha, the home of his greatest teacher, Carlos Salvador Bilardo.
