Television host Mario Pergolini once again stepped into the world of Boca Juniors by publicly congratulating goalkeeper Agustín Rossi, who recently became champion of the Copa Libertadores with Brazil's Flamengo. According to the Argentine News Agency, through a post on his Instagram account, the club's former vice president used the goalkeeper's title to highlight his level and, at the same time, send an indirect message to the current leadership headed by Juan Román Riquelme. Rossi's departure from Boca, which occurred amid a contractual conflict, was one of the most talked-about episodes during the management of the xeneize idol, and since then Pergolini has on several occasions expressed his disagreement with how the case was resolved. "Congratulations Agustín Rossi. His decisive performances, especially in the final stages, reinforced the idea that Boca lost one of the most outstanding goalkeepers on the continent in recent years. Pergolini's reaction adds to a series of statements and publications in which the businessman has questioned various aspects of the current management. American Champion," Pergolini expressed in his post, accompanied by a photo of the goalkeeper lifting the continental trophy. The gesture was immediately interpreted as a new criticism of the leadership, which at the time decided to sideline the player when he did not accept the renewal of his contract. Rossi, since his arrival at "Mengão," has established himself as one of the team's key figures and was a fundamental part of the campaign that led the Brazilian club to conquer its fourth Libertadores in history. This time, Rossi's title served as a starting point to revive a debate that continues to make noise in the club's internal politics.
