Miguel Merentiel: “I’m going to leave my life for this club”

Uruguayan striker Miguel Merentiel, new reinforcement of Boca Juniors, spoke today at a press conference about his arrival at Xeneize, his characteristics as footballers and his professional present. I’m going to leave my life for this club, for this shirt. I know I come to a very big institution,” said the former player of Defensa y Justicia and Godoy Cruz de Mendoza, among other clubs. My characteristics are the claw and not giving up any ball. I can play as a center forward or throw myself back to look for play, “said Merentiel, who comes from Palmeiras in Brazil, where he did not find the desired continuity. In fact, the attacker stressed the reasons that led him to leave the Brazilian cast: “I had no place in my team (Palmeiras) and different options began to be handled. When my representative told me Boca, I didn’t hesitate.” I spoke with (Hugo) Ibarra the logical things of the game and what is the sector of the field in which I feel more comfortable, “said Merentiel, who clarified that he has no problem with playing next to “another point of area” as would be the case of Darío Benedetto, when the scorer receives the authorization, after the 4 dates of suspension. The Uruguayan will train tomorrow and, almost certainly, will be part of the list of summoned for Sunday’s match against Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero, starting at 7:15 p.m., at the Bombonera.
