Since 2014, Marcos Rojo, who plays for "Manchester United", has been spending more time recovering from injuries than helping the team on the field.
Although the 29-year-old Argentinean is increasingly sitting on the bench in the ranks of the "Red Devils", and sometimes does not even make it into the team, he is still important for his national team.
It is precisely because of his gameplay in the Argentine national team that M. Rojo is determined to leave "Man Utd" in January if he does not get enough playing time.
"I spoke with Scaloni (the coach of the Argentine national team - ed.) and he told me he is pleased with my performance in pre-season matches, where I had many opportunities to show myself on the field and looked good, which is why I was called up to the national team.
However, the coach emphasized that I must get playing time in the club. I am convinced that in order to play for the national team, you need to get playing practice in the club. It is there that you need to prove that you are ready to represent your country's national team.
It is difficult to leave such a magnificent club. In the summer, I had the opportunity to move to "Everton", but it was not possible due to the club's or the coach's decision. Now I have to fight for my place in the team until December, and if I fail to do so, then I will try to leave.
The qualifying matches and the "Copa America" are approaching and I want to be part of them. I do not want to stay on the sidelines. I want to seize all opportunities and play for the Argentine national team," M. Rojo said in an interview with the publication "Ole".
The defender has played 59 matches for the Argentine national team, in which he has scored two goals.
