The worst, however, came later when, according to Rubén, «that person from the club who asked me for $ 84 for the shirt, and that follows me on Twitter, read that my intention in the future was to overcome free the memories that I keep from my footballer stage. Then it called me and He asked me if I could donate everything to the club in a selfless way. “First it charges me $ 84 and then asks me to give you my memories,” the international striker laments. «Of course I told him no. I continue with the idea of raising it free of free among the affiicons. I found it very selfish by the club. I don’t think they create fools, but boys, we have pride ».

The former rojiblanco player Antonio Orejuela He used the same social network to show him his solidarity: «Totally agree Ruben, in fact my children have always criticized me for giving my club t -shirts that I have been, but I explain that The illusion that makes fans that this is priceless for me after all they are just t -shirts, a big hug ».
In your last tweet about it The Argentine asked that “there would be no reprisals” Against the person of the club that charged his shirt and asked his own for free and made it clear that “I will continue defending the club whatever.”
I want to clarify that what happened to me … why seemed bad … I did not accuse anyone but they already found out and my intention was not to blame anyone in particular … please, please, Miguel Angel or Cerezo who do not take reprisals … how much or little I can represent … I did not want to
