In that sense, the experienced attacker pointed out that despite his intention to return to the Nuñez club “there was a decision of the directors, of the trainer, and it is necessary to respect it”.
“When I was there I was very happy, because of the environment, because of the fans”he remembered.
“I had the chance to go to Europe, I always look forward, looking for the best for myself and my family”added Gutiérrez, who left River in 2015, after having accepted a proposal from Sporting Lisbon.
In any case, the Colombian revealed that he “always” tried to return: “The illusion is always there, you can’t say no to River, it’s one of the best clubs in South America, and I won everything I played, I always gave my best, I have nothing to reproach myself for”.
The 37-year-old centre-forward also referred to the possibilities he had to put on the shirt of the eternal rival, and pointed out that “after I left Racing, in 2012, Román called me to play for Boca, but it didn’t happen. In addition , one of the businessmen who advised me also wanted me to play in Boca”.
“It was a great gesture by Román, now it’s difficult for him to call me because of the quality that Boca’s forwards have. They are things in life, it didn’t happen and then I went to River”he added in statements to a YouTube channel.
On the other hand, and about the episode that marked his departure from Racing, when he had a dispute in the locker room with some teammates, after losing a classic against Independiente, and which also marked the departure of coach Alfio Basile, he pointed out: “What happens in the dressing room stays there, we all make mistakes, the good thing is that today I have a good relationship with my former teammates”among them Sebastián Saja.
According to some sources, on that occasion Gutiérrez took out a weapon in the locker room to threaten some of the members of the squad, and after that episode he had to leave Racing.
