“I want to stay, but …”, replied Martin Rodriguez to one of his 200,000 followers on Instagram who asked him about his future at Cougars for this Guard1anes. The Chilean midfielder got into a contradiction after what was reported weeks ago when it was leaked from the player’s environment that he did not want to be part of the A.
But the wishes? of those born in Diego de Almagro, Chile, could be executed against the will of those involved. And it is that neither El Pedregal, nor Andrés Lillini himself, added to what was previously expressed by Rodríguez, are betting on continuity from the former Mazatlán for this tournament with the university students.
As soon as his assignment with the Kraken ended, the player’s agent began looking for a destination for his client, far from Ciudad Universitaria. Just days before the team’s debut in Guard1anes 2021, the search failed and Martín has all the votes to be part of the campus this semester.
Andrés Iniestra’s departure and a ‘hole’ in the middle of the field

At the exit of the Wolf are those of added Alexander Mayorga and Carlos Gonzalez, so the presence of Martín would be one of the new faces in a squad that has come to naught after his great participation in Guard1anes 2020. None of those involved wanted this outcome, but with Only Waiting three days at Caliente Stadium, they are obliged to understand each other.
