Uruguayan Rodrigo Aguirre, forward of League of Quito, confessed that he received an offer to play in Barcelona SC in 2017, at the request of the coach Guillermo Almada. However, the attacker ‘albo’ preferred to return to Nacional de Uruguay to be closer to his family.
“I was playing in the Lugano from Switzerland. My representative called me and gave me three options: Barcelona, a team from Argentina and Nacional. I wanted to return to Uruguay, I had left very young and I needed to have contact with my family. I knew of your interest, but there was never a formal contact from Barcelona, ”Aguirre said in statements for the journalist Roberto Bonafont.
In 2019, after a weak season at Botafogo, the striker made it to the Liga de Quito, a decision in which DT Pablo Repetto had a lot to do with it. “I needed them to show that interest in me. I knew that with the confidence of the coach, I was going to get good results. “
“I will always be grateful to Pablo (Repetto). Without addressing me before, he was confident of my conditions. I feel like I got my level back. I also thank the Liga world because I found a nice working group, from the cook to the prop. It is a very nice family, something that is not easily found, “explained the Charrúa.
However, in December 2019, after concluding the national championship, Aguirre was close to joining the Cruz Azul Mexican. The negotiation was not finalized due to the sanction imposed by the LigaPro Disciplinary Court, which prevented him from playing for three months, both locally and internationally.
To finish, the ‘Negro’ analyzed the present of the ‘King of Cups’ and revealed that one of the goals of the squad is to leave a good image in the Copa Libertadores and fight for the title of the LigaPro, tournament in which they lost the 2019 final, against Delfín SC.
“We have an obligation to fight for the championship every year. And we are aware that we have a team to achieve it. Internationally, we also dream of great things. Any team that plays against the League shows respect“Aguirre concluded.
