Jagger Herrera Addresses Viral Past Social Media Posts

Herrera addresses resurfaced social media posts

Social media posts from years past resurfaced for Jagger Herrera, prompting the young player to address messages that circulated online from his youth in an interview with the official Copa Sudamericana channel, Olé reported.

The youth player was shown several of his old publications during the broadcast and asked if he knew they were still active online. Herrera said that he sees the posts frequently and that even his brother sends them to him as jokes.

“Sí, lo veo todo. Mi hermano a veces me manda. Pero bueno, son cosas del pasado que uno hace de pibe y ya está. No se puede volver el pasado atrás, ahora me cago de risa,” Herrera told Olé.

Among the resurfaced items is a controversial message directed at Facundo Colidio that gained traction in August 2023 following River’s elimination by Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Herrera said that when that specific post spread widely, he faced internal corrections within his training environment and ultimately deleted the message.

He added that players in Boca receive guidance regarding social media use and that he has gained greater awareness over time.

“Ahora soy un poco más grande, me doy cuenta de las cosas, pero sí, nos dicen qué está bien y qué está mal,” Herrera told Olé.
