A recording of the moment when the blue team prepares to jump onto the field of George Capwell Stadium was published on social networks. Every footballer was waiting in the dressing room tunnel with a kid or two; However, when it was Bolaños’ turn to close the line, he refused to do the same.
“If I’m not dating my son, I’m not dating another man either,” said the player. At the urging of one of the leaders of the activity, he repeated his refusal: “No, no. I don’t date anyone. I’m not dating my son, I’m dating someone else. ”
