The story of Edwin Cardona in Racing continues to add new chapters. The Colombian midfielder is on leave until November 30 and everything seems to indicate that his days at the Avellaneda institution are numbered due to his behavior behind closed doors and his poor performance on the field.
However, the former Boca player, who a few days ago announced that he wants to stay and fight in the Academy, decided to fan the flames with a post on his social networks.
In the first of his three Instagram stories he can be seen training with his family in a gymAnd in the second post the athlete shows that he is not overweight at all.
With his torso exposed, in front of a mirror, The Colombian took a photo and said: “The best is yet to come, blessed be”. He also added several emojis to the image.
The Colombian midfielder was not part of the team that beat Boca in the final of the 2022 Champions Trophy, after qualifying as the “best second” in the annual table after beating Tigre 3-2.
72 hours before the match he left the country amid a scandal that included accusations and conflicting versions with Racing's leaders. And now, he has added a new chapter.
After the Academy would pay more than 3 million dollars For the hook, one of the most powerful requests of coach Fernando Gago, the Colombian did not stop adding controversy.
He missed practice at the beginning of the year after testing positive for Covid-19He never looked in shape physically and was seen to be a few kilos overweight throughout the year. As a result, he suffered injuries that kept him out for a good part of the year.
Gago even decided to remove him from a list of concentrates for not having passed a weight control.In September he showed a lack of enthusiasm when the coach ordered the substitutes to move on in a game against Platense. And the coach decided to let him go.
To all this we must add the discussion with Carlos Alcaraz to determine who would execute a free kick and even a clash with the Academic fans at the Cilindro. The icing on the cake was having given positive in a breathalyzer test in Puerto Madero.
A week ago, the version circulated that the midfielder had removed his belongings from the club and had traveled to Bogotá. But it was the footballer himself who denied the version with a letter that he published on his social networks and in which he affirmed that it was the leaders who decided to release him until November 30. “It has not been my decision to leave and leave the team at this stage and more so on the eve of the important commitment that we have on Sunday,” said Cardona.
He added: “Although it has not been my best season, I have always fulfilled my responsibilities and obligations, but I cannot ignore the fact that my name and integrity continue to be tarnished by ill-intentioned comments.” He also left a message for the future. “I reiterate my commitment, I wish to continue wearing these colors and be able to reverse this situation,” he wrote.
The Colombian only played 27 games, scored 2 goals and provided one assist. The relationship with the fans seems broken and Cardona's future seems to be far from Avellaneda. However, through his Instagram account the Colombian showed himself on the field showing that he is in good physical condition. Will he manage to reverse his image or will it all remain on social media?
