Zárate and the consequences of his departure from Vélez to Boca: “I’m still distanced from my brothers”

The striker present in Platense recalled the moment of his controversial departure from the Fortín and said that the family breakdown was a permanent consequence.

Mauro Zarate spoke this Saturday from the distance of his controversial and remembered departure of Vélez to land in Boca in 2018. In the PH program, from Telefé, the Platense striker could not avoid tears when referring to the consequences of that fact: still fighting with his brothers, in the context of a family closely linked to the Fortín.

“I had a problem with my knee, I broke it, I was in England, we are going on vacation to Dubai and I stayed playing there before returning to Vélez. Everything goes well, they present me with the pre-contract to stay for three more years until the president of Vélez calls for the club to come and lend a hand, he was going to B. I break the pre-contract and come back, Everything goes well, we continue in the First Division and that’s where the Boca thing happens”, the player defended himself, qualifying some decisions he made then.

On the claim of the fans of the Liniers team, who always blamed him for his previous statements that in Argentina he would only play in the Fortín, he declared: “I never asked the fan for acceptance or anything“. And then he entered the hard internal family.

When asked if that episode led him to fight with his brothers, Zárate told about to break: “I remain distanced. We are not going to have a relationship again, it’s ugly because my old man was to say that we remain united, the outsiders are made of wood. He went through this, crazy, those who have to take charge do it. If I had to apologize, it was to the people of Vélez. My thing was to play in Vélez, go to Europe, come back and retire in Vélez, that plan was put together by me. It was my wish and what was going to happen in my career. The injury changed me a bit, I went back to Vélez earlier, I had the chance to come and lend a hand because the club was going to B”, he reiterated.

Immediately, he remembered what he experienced a few months ago, with the death of his father: “We got together for the last time to put our hand on my old man’s chest, my mom brought us together. Everyone knows what they did, I am calm both with the club and with my family. Many years passed. Many things happened and they put more people, they put words … That a relative said them, “he lamented without delving. “We know what we have to do with my family: give love to my old lady, that she knows that we are in good health and financially, it is a beautiful family,” he concluded.
