Marco Ruben and the Drive for Redemption

“It is a prize for me; from wherever I have to be, I am going to be fully focused to help win the championship,” Ruben said. “I am ready to play and I have a lot of desire. The Central fans await this with great enthusiasm; beyond the star itself, we want to win out of our own pride, because of what happened a while ago.”

Ruben specifically pointed to a past incident involving Estudiantes at the Gigante de Arroyito stadium, where the opponent performed a back-turned guard of honor. “It hurt me a lot and it hurt the fan a lot too, it gives us strength to face them, even though it is a complicated rival,” he added.
