Criticism of the player focuses on the physical load, especially considering his recent muscle injury problems. But the controversy did not end there. That same night, another photo of Rojo posing at Bye Henry, a bowling alley in La Plata, alongside a fan, began to circulate on social media.

This event caused a stir among some fans. “Look at the Saturday that Rojo put in, mommy…”, “Cycle completed” and “We keep giving the tape to this idiot, we have to give it to Advíncula urgently” were some of the most notable comments against the central defender.
Boca’s position after the viralization of Marcos Rojo’s photos
The images of Marcos Rojo quickly reached Brandsen 805 and both the coaching staff headed by Diego Martínez, and the Xeneize Board of Directors, took a position in relation to the captain’s actions. Journalist Augusto César provided information about it on ESPN F12: “These viralized photos of Rojo in Boca consider it to be their free time. Now, I do think that it is not good for professional players to play football like that. It has happened here historically.”
Furthermore, the journalist added: “We will see if Martínez is going to have a talk with the captain this afternoon when they meet again, but I reiterate with something, different from what was happening, for those who drive this is different because it was done in free moments.”
César concluded by saying that the only thing that could happen is a meeting between the coach and the captain: “Later Martínez will have to see where he has the upper hand, if what he did conspires against his performance or his physique, surely they will talk about this.”
It is important to note that this viral photo was taken on Saturday afternoon, when the Boca players were already released after morning training, having received two days off before returning to practice on Monday afternoon.
On the other hand, Rojo, who was criticized by fans for his behavior, will return to official action in just over a month, as he is suspended for the next match against Vélez, and will reappear against Independiente del Valle in the Copa Sudamericana .
