Leonardo Ponzio has become one of River’s greatest idols. His great career as a professional footballer is very close to ending and that is why he enjoys each of the millionaire’s games, whether from the bench or the minutes that Marcelo Gallardo allows him to play.
The 39-year-old Argentine was able to play 10 minutes in the victory against San Lorenzo, a game where Gallardo’s men took a very important step towards obtaining the title with 9 games to go.
Ponzio has become one more motivation for all his teammates, because in each game he does not stop giving instructions from the bench, yelling and cheering just like a technician would.
This will be the last year that Millionaire fans can enjoy it as it is known that it will put an end to his tremendous career, and although he has a 1-year contract, the leadership gave him the option to terminate this contract in 6 months if he continues with the idea of retiring.
In case something is missing from his tremendous career holds the record for most games played in the Gallardo era (first player to reach 200 games).
Ponzio has always been grateful for all the love they have given him, and this is how he has expressed it throughout his career: “The place where I am indicates everything. I am where I want, it is my home. You feel the affection that you are given. You work and train. The years go by and you enjoy yourself more. In the day-to-day life is a harmony, one He comes happy, whether he plays or not. There is little left and I enjoy it “he declared a while ago.
His first stage with River in 2007, but it was until his second stage where he began to make a mark, playing more than 350 games so far. managing to win a total of 15 titles, among which two Libertadores Cups stand out.
