Boca Juniors issued a statement repudiating the joke made by journalist Daniel Arcucci following the injury suffered by Exequiel Zeballos, in the last match played in Córdoba against Belgrano. “Boca regrets the expression and considers it very unpleasant that attempts are made to make humor out of the problems of others. We would like journalism to be in charge of transmitting information and not joking about these things that are so painful for any football player. Changuito Strength! The entire club accompanies you in this difficult time,” reads part of the statement.
Daniel Arcucci’s phrase that made it a trend
Likewise, Daniel Arcucci also made public his apologies as soon as he became aware of the unfortunate comment and in the same “F90” on the ESPN signal he acknowledged: “When we played this game with Oscar (Ruggeri) I said something that was not appropriate. We opened this program very sorry about Zeballos’ injury and I said ‘oh like Changuito’ and it doesn’t belong. Maybe it was in a joke moment that we have in the program, but I apologize, it is not appropriate for me to say it. The apologies are above all to Changuito Zeballos and to the people who felt logically offended by that. Obviously I had no intention and I understand what an injury means to a professional athlete. “It is appropriate that you apologize.”
Daniel Arcucci’s apology after his joke about Zeballos’ injury
The Boca Juniors forward underwent the relevant medical examinations this morning and the worst news was confirmed: “rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and external meniscus of the right knee. He will perform preoperative rehabilitation and when he is fit, surgery will be scheduled.” This severe injury will require Changuito Zeballos between six and eight months of recovery. The tears on his face after the fortuitous play against Belgrano de Córdoba anticipated the bad situation, which was made official this Wednesday morning through the medical report published by the La RIbera institution.
Zeballos, 21, entered nine minutes into the second half, in place of Colombian midfielder Jorman Campuzano, and had good passages, including an assist to Miguel Merentiel, although when he played a ball over the right side he fell on his right knee. and immediately showed gestures of pain. In less than 10 minutes he left the field and the concern became even greater when he saw him with tears in his eyes. Changuito will be out for at least a semester and injuries became part of her career, since she had different muscle problems throughout this year after the severe fracture of the tibia, fibula and ankle suffered by a kick from Milton Leyendeker, from Carlos Casares’s Agriculture, in the 2022 Argentine Cup.
