Juan Román Riquelme spoke - for the first time in his role as Boca leader - from the Instagram profile created to show the activities of the club's premises in Ezeiza (@BocaPredio).
That account was the one that generated the controversy that ended with the departure of Mario Pergolini from the leadership.
The vice president published a recorded video in which he talks about the value of the property.
"It is the most beautiful place of all," he assures.
It was around 19:00. His words had generated strong expectations, since it was expected that he would refer to the leadership crisis that caused the driver to leave.
In fact, in a few hours the account went from 17 thousand followers to more than 90 thousand.
However, his words only spoke of the property.
Juan Román Riquelme tells his day-to-day sensations and details at the Ezeiza Training Center, through the new official account @BocaPredio, which will show the complex where football is breathed 24 hours a day.

"Hello. I am Juan Román Riquelme. For me the property is the most beautiful place of all. Where the smallest children come, where the first team is, where one has the dreams that we want to fulfill, where one is lucky to have many coaches who were soccer players who have been world champions, American champions, who finish their training at 12 noon and talk until four after five in the afternoon to see what they can improve. For me it is wonderful to see that " , it states.
Later, he referred to the importance of it being the place that allows the youngest to be close to the first team.
"To see the little ones, all dwarfs, with our club's uniform. We love having our shirt on, for us it is wonderful. We are proud to wear the Boca shirt, to see the little ones with that shirt and to see the first team of the same way, "he assured.
And he added: "That the little ones can see Tevez and Cardona train ... That didn't happen to us. We never had that luck and
we want them to be able to live it every day
. That they learn and dream that they can be the same as them. . We only want to help them so that they can fulfill all their dreams. "
The leadership crisis
Boca does not have the best footballing moment beyond the victory this Saturday (2-1 against Defensa and Justicia in La Bombonera), which allowed him to be in the lot of teams that are qualifying for the final phase of the Professional League Cup .
The resignation of Mario Pergolini surprised much of the Boca world.
The differences with the Soccer Council, made up of club glories closely related to Roman, was the main reason.
It was he himself who even explained that he had not spoken after his resignation with the former number 10 (yes with Marcelo Delgado and Jorge Bermúdez).
And he also reasoned in his program on
Radio Vorterix
: "Football is managed in a way that maybe does not coincide with what is my vision of what it should be, and one cannot stay because simply a place is good."
