This peculiar way of playing by the former Colombian midfielder brought him several problems with players from Boca’s eternal rival, River Plate. One of them was Roberto Trotta, who faced the Antioqueño in the ‘superclassics’.
Trotta, who also played strong as a defender, confessed in a talk with the Libero program of TyC Sports that he got revenge on Serna, since they had many crosses.
“We went looking with ‘Chicho’ a little between the two of us. We were inside a bowling alley, one came out first and the other through the back. We were like 20 meters away whore each other and they separated us, pero later I charged it … “, said the ex-zaguero between laughs.
The Argentine recalled that he then went to Puebla from Mexico to play and took the opportunity to recommend ‘Chicho’, since the Mexican team was not having a good time.
“I went to the draft in Mexico. They transferred me from Atlante to Puebla and the coach told me that they were looking for a central midfielder. It was a lousy team, fighting relegation. I thought who could I recommend, someone that i hate so that he would come to suffer with me and I recommended to Serna “, Trotta said.
