It had made an impact upon arrival, with its first images and with some more than brief messages on the club’s official networks. He had debuted with judgment and class in the Argentine Cup against a third division rival. However, there was one special moment missing before playing his number one game in the candy box. And that moment arrived… There, together, Ander Herrera and Juan Román Riquelme. There, together, the most loved footballer in the history of Mouthtoday president, and the “exotic” reinforcement. Official presentation at a press conference and words from the former Athletic Bilbao that penetrate like a dagger of love into that passionate heart that distinguishes every xeneize fan.
Everything happened after noon this Friday in Buenos Aires. Roman made the first pass: “We are very happy that a player like Ander choose our club. Without his wish it would have been impossible to have him here.” and there Riquelme looked at Ander and told him: “It makes us very happy to say that you are just another bostero.”
Then came the testimony of Herreraconfirming that he is a charmer of xeneizes, because he elevated Mouth towards the sky of the football world. “The contractual was the least important thing. I wanted to play in Mouthsay when I finish my career that I played in Mouth. Few clubs give you that prestige: Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Boca… You finish your degree and you have them on your resume and that is incomparable. It is far above the economic aspect. That’s why a few months ago I told people I have in mind Argentina that if there was an opportunity in Mouth I wanted to take it.”
continued Ander: “I have already fulfilled dreams like playing for the biggest clubs in the world, winning titles, representing my country. And now I am going to represent the biggest of South America already one of the greatest in the world, with an incomparable passion. There comes a time when you think that the end is not far away and there are opportunities that cannot be missed.”
