Jan Hurtado will travel to Brazil to join Bragantino, on loan for one year with a purchase option, and he analyzed his time at Boca.
In an interview with Oral Deportiva, the Venezuelan forward said: "Leaving Boca is complicated. You always want to be at such a big club. It doesn't compare to any other club in America. I'm leaving to be able to enhance myself and eventually come back in the best way."
"Sometimes in football things don't work out. I didn't have my best years. I have to accept that I didn't score goals. When I came on, I tried to do my best. From these experiences, you learn. I started 6 matches as a starter at Boca. The most important one was against River," added the 20-year-old attacker who arrived at Xeneize on July 6, 2019.
Hurtado continued: "What Boca is as an institution is beautiful. Thank God I had the opportunity to belong, and it's something I will never regret. Their stadium, their supporters... Villa, Bebelo, Zarate, De Rossi, playing with all of them was very important. You learn a lot. They treated me well and always made me feel part of the family."
The young Venezuelan analyzed what he expects from his future and his new club: "I know Bragantino is part of the Red Bull group. They were promoted and have good players, hopefully, I can have more opportunities there. If you want to improve, you have to know that sometimes things are done wrong. Hopefully, I can have more continuity and show what I am. I would like to ask for the number 9 shirt."
Hurtado was born in Barinas, Venezuela, and maintains the hope of being called up to the national team: "If I have continuity and do what I know how to do, there won't be a problem for my place in the national team. The coach is always attentive. I believe these are the qualifiers for Venezuela to qualify for the World Cup. There are good players with good performances in Spain, the United States, and Brazil."
Finally, Jan made it clear what his dream is and who his current role model is: "My dream, since I was a child, has been to play for Real Madrid and my role model today is Benzema. I always watch him, I love how he plays."
