Nico Acosta: leader in Rosario and a present away from Los Leones

Within the framework of the 13th edition of the Italian Cup, whose champions were Ciudad in women and Ducilo in men, Nicolás Acosta, the former Los Leones player and current captain of the Rosario Jockey Club, spoke with AM850.com about her present in the city where the best player in history was born, about whether there is any possibility of returning to Los Leones and if her time in Europe is closed or she still has one more chapter left.

After the retirement of the historic player, Tomás Alonso, Nico Acosta took the captaincy and is the leader of the team. Given this, the “Tero” expressed: “For me, It is a great pride to lead the groupI love it. It is a young group where it is mixed with a little experience from the older ones. The boys make it easy for me, the truth is that I am very happy. This year we have a new challenge with a coach who comes from Santa Fe, so it’s great for us. I’m making a little connection between the Coaching Staff and the players.“.

In addition to talking about his beloved club, the man from Rosario was asked if he aims to return to Los Leones in the future and, clearly, he responded: “I spoke with Lucas (Rey) when he started the process, he called me and I was on the player rosterI went to Buenos Aires and trained. but after I decided to step aside because I felt that my time had already passedthere was also a new crop of players.”

And then he continued: “I am happy in Rosario with my family, my partner, my things and the club calls me a lot. Lucas understood me when I told him and luckily we have a very good relationship, he told me that the doors of Los Leones were always open. In the future I have no idea, but considering it now, the truth is that I am very happy where I am and enjoying my present, which I love.”

Finally and to close, Nico Acosta confirmed that he will stay in Argentina, to play for the Jockey Club, and flatly ruled out returning to Europe: “Europe has already ruled it out. It is not in my plans either now or in the future, it is already a stage that I closed it. I enjoyed it a lot, I made the most of it and I had a great time, but now I decided to return to the club. I think that’s also great: making the decision to come back and not “oh, I have to come back because I have no other choice.” I think they are two very big differences. The truth is that I am happy with where I am, with the day to day I live and I wouldn’t change it.”
