THE FUSE

The vocal criticism has not been limited to the terraces. Oscar Ruggeri, an icon of Argentinian football who won the 1986 World Cup and enjoyed title success with Boca, has urged Cavani to protect his legacy by stepping away now. Ruggeri expressed his dismay at seeing a player of Cavani's standing being treated with such disdain by the public. Speaking to Marca, the former defender was uncompromising in his assessment of the striker's current situation and physical capabilities as he nears the age of 40.
