The Catholic University-born footballer is not considered by Fernando Gago and is on the verge of leaving the Xeneize team prematurely. In cross section, they are excited about his return.
Gary Medel He attracted all the attention during the goalless draw between Huracán and Boca Juniors, at Parque Patricios. However, The reasons were not football related, since the defender did not play any minutes.
Pitbull watched the entire game from the bench, but he was one of the protagonists. He fought with Globo fans and had a heated argument with Rodrigo Echeverría his former teammate at La Roja.
In the first half, the match had an embarrassing image, with two interruptions. The first occurred in the 37th minute, after a foul by Luciano Di Lollo on Eric Ramírez. The situation between the Xeneize bench and the fans behind him quickly escalated. According to Argentinian media, The local bias denounced the fact that Agustín Martegani and Medel They spat on the fans, which sparked an argument in which the police even had to intervene.
The national continued to gesture to Globo supporters, reflecting that he was still on fire. After, The former Catholic University player faced Echeverría . Wearing the substitutes’ bib, he entered the field and had a heated dialogue with his compatriot. He was later reprimanded for slapping César Ibáñez.
Without compensation
Gary Medel is experiencing his worst days in Boca. What seemed like a dream comeback is about to come to an end. Pitbull never managed to consolidate during his second stage in the xeneize team.
The arrival of Fernando Gago, who replaced Diego Martínez, made him lose even more ground. . The midfielder is also not considered one of the stars. In fact, this is not even a first reservation. In front of him are Marcos Rojo, Aaron Anselmino and Cristián Lema.
Medel has dropped in level. He played the first six games as a starter, but then alternated between injuries and substitutes. He played minutes in a handful of games. Of course, after two months of inactivity, he managed to play again.
His fitness helped him add bonuses. “The coaching staff appreciates Medel’s efforts to be considered again; In fact, he was one of the players who lost the most weight and that’s why he got another opportunity », noted TyC Sports. However, this is still not important.
Gago doesn’t take this into account and let him know, so his departure seems to be a fact . Thus, the native of Renca would leave the xeneize team only six months after his arrival.
“The experimental midfielder is not having a good second stage at Boca. He plays little, he is not considered as a replacement and he would not correspond to Gago’s footballing taste either. . With a contract until December 2025, Juan Román Riquelme could consider ending his contract at the end of the year and gaining a place for foreigners,” Olé indicated a few weeks ago.
The crossed illusion
Amid the Chilean’s complex moment, his former love appears on the horizon: Universidad Católica . In San Carlos de Apoquindo they are attentive to what could happen on the other side of the cordillera and to a possible departure of Medel from Boca Juniors.
Tiago Nunes is looking to make a jump in quality and hierarchy after a disappointing season, where they only managed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. Thus, the return of Pitbull, who left the Las Condes team in 2009 to join the Argentine team, could finally materialize.
“Gary has a contract with Boca Juniors, I understand that for the whole year 2025. As long as he is a player of the quality he has and he is able to play, The doors of the Catholic University will always be open “, declared Juan Tagle, president of the UC, a few days ago on ADN radio.
“Some fans think he didn’t want to come on other occasions and, therefore, we shouldn’t continue looking for him. For me, Gary remains a crossover idol. He is a player who has contributed enormously to Chilean football and if he is fit and willing to come, his doors will be open to him. “, he added.
