Regarding the work ethic and camaraderie of the South American forward, Siboldi recounted all the gunner’s sins that he always had a bad attitude and work ethic in training to the point that in each practice there was a detail to question about his way of training.

“Borja was not the player we expected in terms of attitude towards his teammates and professionalism. He gave more importance to what happened off the field than to the game or training sessions. He was never at the level of his peers; That’s why he played very little, because he didn’t dedicate himself. Furthermore, he was a bad teammate, there was always a problem in every training session with his attitude.”

Borja was separated from the Cruz Azul squad

We talked and he apologized for his behavior. I told him that, to reintegrate, he had to apologize to his teammates, which he did, and so we reinstated him to the team to finish the season.”

“I don’t want to go deeper because it is still active, but because of his qualities, which were good, he could have been successful in Cruz Azul or in Mexican soccer. However, his attitude and lack of professionalism did not help him; That is why his career stagnated and he is still at the Nacional club,” Siboldi added.

He even questioned the way this player generalized on this delicate topic such as the accusation of receiving money from coaches: Why do you generalize and accuse all coaches of something so serious? That makes me think that, if he believes that everyone behaves like this, maybe he is in that club (Nacional de Ecuador) because he pays the coach. If he doesn’t get to play, maybe it’s because he didn’t get paid.”
