Aldair Rodríguez, Alianza Lima footballer who ended up being expelled to River Plate for a hard kick against Robert Rojas, he came up to apologize at the end of the engagement, mentioning that it was not his intention to injure the Paraguayan footballer. After the unfortunate action in the Copa Libertadores, went to the hotel to personally apologize to his colleague.
“I am very sad about the situation that my professional colleague is experiencing. It was a fortuitous move, I had no bad intention. I went to play the ball and I think his foot is hooked and when it comes to forcing the ball it fractures. That's why I came to apologize to you personally. I do not go with an iron, or excessively or much less irresponsibly. Maybe with a little force. I'm hurt by the situation, that's why I came here to ask for forgiveness.”
He also added: “Unfortunately, these are things that can happen in football, we are exposed to this. I came to apologize to him and his family, who I imagine must be very worried. I asked them to come so you know that at no time did I have any ill intentions. That's why I now understand the horniness of River's players. I apologize to Rojas, the team and all the people involved with River. It was without any intention.”
THE HARD MISS OF ALDAIR RODRIGUEZ
In the last minutes of the game at the National Stadium, Alianza Lima tried to tie the match, but the ball never entered and several players were frustrated by the rival's high level. In an action where Robert Rojar covered the ball to maintain possession, Aldair Rodriguez went behind and gave the Paraguayan a hard kick with no chance of hitting the ball.
In the first instance, the referee Wilmar Roldán gave the striker a yellow card, but seeing the footballer's pain and the leg of the side, he reversed his disappointment and ended up showing him the red one. At that time, several players from the 'Millionario' saw with fright and grief the fracture of the tibia and fibula that their teammate had suffered.
