Ya hace anos que se sospechaba que el Burrito tomaba de mas, no es nada nuevo. Si es nuevo si el lo acepto publicamente y busqua ayuda. Oyala que pueda conseguir la ayuda que necesita y pueda matar su vicio si es que lo reportado es verdad. Los hinchas de River siempre van a bancar al Burrito, menos mal que volvio, en otro club lo cagarian de insultos.

El Burrito reapareció en River después de 34 días con un golazo de antología. Se lo dedicó a Daniel Passarella. Y el deseo es regalarles el campeonato a los hinchas.

El jujeño trabaja para volver a ser el que fue. Dice que en este tiempo de recuperación recibió la ayuda de todos. Y que sabe que está en deuda.

Pobre burrito ... el alcohol lo tiene de esclavo.

Parece ser que esta vez es mas grave aun. En la tarde libre de ayer, recayo ... y Aguilar ya tiro la toalla con el.

El del Sabado puede haber sido su ultimo partido y gol.

He'll be back, now he's going to treatment in Capital Federal. There is a lot of relapse when dealing with alcoholism, the important thing is that he wants to get better and that he has people around him that support him. And your wrong about Aguilar, him and the club are 100% behind Ariel.
At least this didnt' happen during the season, on the week of the superclassico, like last season. Remember, the 3-1.

El sábado había jugado bien ante Racing, luego dio un paso en falso y ayer faltó al entrenamiento. No descartan una internación.

This is what happened with Ortega yesterday, according to Ole:

El Burrito estaba tan contento por el partido que había jugado contra Racing que pensaba dormir una siesta para descansar. Y así lo hizo. A las 17 se cruzó con un integrante del cuerpo técnico en el lobby del hotel Costa Galana y le contó que estaba esperando a su familia, que llegaba a Mar del Plata y se iba a hospedar en el Sheraton. Se sentía entero. Pero tras el reencuentro con Danesa, Sol, Tomás y Manuela, su mujer y sus hijos, empezó otra historia. La más triste. Porque el jujeño decidió visitar un bar de la zona de Alem junto con al menos cuatro compañeros. Y ahí, entre risas, sufrió una fuerte recaída en su lucha contra el alcohol. Una situación que se le tornó inmanejable y por la que mientras Passarella y Cía. alargaban la sobremesa en el restaurant Cinco Andaluz, el Burrito regresó al búnker de River en muy mal estado. Al subir a la habitación que comparte con el juvenil Sebastián Sciorilli, en el 10° piso, mantuvo una fortísima pelea telefónica con un familiar. A raíz de eso, desbordado y sin control, cortó intempestivamente, volvió al ascensor y salió del hotel. Dónde estuvo, con quién y qué hizo durante las siguientes cinco horas es un misterio. Lo que contaron testigos es que volvió al amanecer, y en peor estado del que tenía al irse.

This situation makes me so depressed. Yes, I don't even know the guy in person, but it just makes you feel bad. It's not like he's a person who doesn't give a ******** about anything, and continues to drink alcohol. He's been trying to get over the situation, and had previously stated that his main goal for this season was to "overcome his alcoholic situation". He's been trying so hard to beat it, but it's like he just cannot win the fight. It makes me feel even worse knowing someone who is going through a situation similar to his.

My best wishes go to Ortega, my first River idol.. I hope he gets better.

yea i was watching estudio futbol yesterday who showed an inteview with him a day prior to this episode. He seemed fined and happy, but i guess this proves that Ortega does have an "enfermedad". ONe min he is fine next he isnt. I just hope that he gets some serious help soon, he is one of my fav argentine players and its tough seeing him that way.

Yeah I agree on this also. It's so sad to see someone go through this horrible situation. As an American who has grown to love futbol from Argentina I saw him play in 1994 in Los Angeles when Argentina played Romania. He is the sole reason as to why I am a "hincha" of River. God bless him and I hope he overcomes this.

[argentine soccer fan]

Good luck to him. As much as drinking is enjoyable, we all have to keep in mind the dangers of alcohol. Many great players were victims of alcoholism, including greats like Garrincha and George Best. I hope Ortega can overcome it.

I love to hate Ortega as a player because he is a gayina. But I have to admit that he is a pleasure to watch.

I remember the first time I saw him play in person, when Argentina played Bulgaria at the 04 World Cup. I was so pissed off because of what happened to Diego, but this young kid came in as Diego's replacement, and I swear he looked like Diego, and he had some of the same moves. He was a bit 'comilon' but man, he could dribble.

I remember his moves, and I thought that even though nobody could replace Diego, we were watching another great talent. He went on to a great career with River (that I'm not going to dwell on), and some great moments with the national team as well. He was always a player of the potrero, for better or worse. In 98 he played an excellent World Cup only to be remembered for the incident at the end of the Holland match that probably cost us elimination.

Anyway, I hope this is not the last of him. I hope he can play again, but most importantly that he can rehabilitate himself and get back to leading a normal life.

Ariel Ortega dejó la pretemporada que estaba haciendo con River en Mar del Plata y regresó a Buenos Aires para tratarse de su problema de alcoholismo.

Segun Ole, El Burrito dejo su tratamiento en Capital Federal y opto por una terapia ambulatoria, despues que los doctores aseguraron que su caso no requeria una internacion. Parece que el Burrito tiene el apoyo de todo River, y por lo que leo, estoy contento con el comportamiento de Aguilar y compania hacia Ortega. Aca esta el resto del articulo:

From Ole:
http://www.ole.com.ar/notas/2007/01/18/01347216.html

"Estoy muy mal y hoy no pienso en el fútbol. El fútbol está en un segundo plano en mi vida.No sé qué voy a hacer. Cuando lo tenga claro, se los voy a llamar a todos y se los diré. Quiero calmarme un poco, estar en mi casa. Tengo el apoyo de todos y eso es muy valioso".
