Finally, after Boca's victory in the Superclásico, Juan Román Riquelme broke the silence after a year and a half of not speaking to the media.
It was at the TNT Sports post game.
And he started banking his players: "We have the best team in the country that won the two championships quietly," the idol Xeneize threw.
Later, the second vice president of Boca analyzed the evolution of his club in the last Superclassics: "
It is the third classic that we have played since we have been driving and we deserved to win all three
. In the previous one we had a very clear one with Wanchope who ended up insulting Mauro . In the second we made their goalkeeper figure. And today we started winning again, our idol star and captain had two heads up and we couldn't define it. I think it's deserved, they didn't kick the goal, our goalkeeper didn't save. Boca it was a deserved winner. "
But the phrase that resonated the most was the following: "We finally beat them, we finally eliminated them, it's wonderful."
"WE FINALLY WON THEM, WE FINALLY ELIMINATE THEM, THAT IS WONDERFUL" 🗣

JR also spoke of Boca's criticized game, although he clearly marked the classics that the team played since Jorge Amor Ameal is president and he is vice-second.
And he sees a paradigm break: "We want to play better, it's what we want, but we have great soccer players and the classic is won.
It is the first heads-up that we have and we won it
. The Boca fan needed it. Tomorrow. He will be happy. The boys have to know that they are two games away from making history and winning three titles in a row at our club. "
In that direction, he continued his analysis: "Since we got hold of it we were lucky to win two tournaments, but we are making a new team. (They joined) the three boys in the middle, Pavón arrived (from the United States), Villa did not play, Campuzano did not He played ... It happens that you see Boca's shirt and you want to win 4 to 0, but we are very excited, we know we have to play better, but
we needed to win a heads up and we did it deservedly
.
The vice of Boca clarified that he does not speak or has a relationship with Gallardo and dedicated a few words to him: "We faced a
great team with a great coach who we can say is very lucky
, as they said about Bianchi ...
today they tied the game without kicking to the arc
.
"THE TRIUMPH WAS DESERVED, THEY DID NOT KICK THE BOW" 🗣

Then, he quickly compared the repercussion that Boca has with respect to the other teams in the media: When Boca wins without deserving it is a disaster, but when the other wins it is wonderful.
And it's good that they treat us like that because Boca is very big.
We are very grateful to this team, they played two championships and won two, "insisted Riquelme, who did not stop remembering the bad match of the semi of Libertadores with Santos.
Juan Pablo Varsky, Hernán Castillo and Pablo Giralt asked him about Cavani's novel: "I think that next year we will have him with us. In December he told me that he wanted to come and has the doors open. I told him, "The only thing we have to offer you other than Manchester United is that our pitch is moving but today we are without an audience, so I can't even give you that." I'll see him here next year, and I'll call him because he's a star. We are happy to have Marcos Rojo who is a star. "
"I THINK CAVANI IS GOING TO BE WITH US NEXT YEAR" 🗣

He also clarified that it is not for him that the kids Varela, Almendra and Medina play: "No, they play because they play well. Today was Varela's first classic, Medina's second, they are 18, 19 years old ... Almendra 21 and what we recovered, it's a wonder for us because he spent 7 months at home without training. " And then he projected into the future: "Next
year we would like to play the Copa Argentina with the eleven players of the club
. That is a dream. We want the boys to have more and more illusion of reaching the first team."
The hasty departure of Vice President Mario Pergolini also had its place in the conversation: "I send Mario a big kiss, he must be happy, he is a fan of our club. This is like when he played, the goalkeeper gets sick and it is Riquelme's fault. . Nothing happens, this club is my life. I was born bostero thanks to my father and I'm going to die bostero. This is the place where I wanted to be, I know that when the ugly touches us they will give me, but better this way the boys and the coach is calmer. "
"ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENS, THE FAULT IS RIQUELME, THAT IS CLEAR NOW" 🔥

Riquelme also referred to the criticism made of Boca's austerity policy and hit the Tano Angelici management: "The previous ones left us debts and we are going to take care of our club. In the middle of the year we will try to reinforce ourselves. in the best way". Although he assured that the policy aims to take care of the mango: "If you think about it, I think we spent money only with Zambrano. We brought Rojo from Manchester because he helped a lot. We have to thank his father (who is Boca) ... when they are players of such hierarchy it depends on whether they want to play here. But they are players who are used to competing with players of such hierarchy as Suárez, Neymar, Cavani and that gives peace of mind. "
In addition, he said that Marcos Rojo was fundamental in Almendra's recovery: "Rojo has given us a big hand with Almendra. Agustín is happy, we are happy to see him enjoy every day. We want the little ones, Ceballos, Vázquez, and they have to know that they are going to be wrong. They may have thought that today they were going to break it, but the classic is not easy. And the classic is won. "
"RED MADE A LOT OF FORCE TO COME."

He also assured that he is not angry with Pol Fernández and gave his version of why he left: "Pol Fernandez left because he did not want to stay. We had arranged with Cruz Azul and he could continue with us for four years, but he told us that he did not want to. stay. So,
to the player who is not from Boca and does not want to be, we thank him
