After the statement published by Boca on its official website, the president,
Jorge Amor Ameal
, broke the silence and made the club's position clear after the incidents of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 match against Atlético Mineiro. Ameal targeted the locals and their president, Sergio Coelho, but he also hit the Professional Football League and differentiated it from AFA: "I appreciate the support of Chiqui Tapia," he stressed.
Ameal clarified that the statement that Boca published on his page this noon had been written since last night, but was not exhibited before for fear of reprisals: "
We uploaded the statement once our people went through migrations
. Everything that happened was very bad.
What The statement says is what we feel: we have been stripped
. "
The one from Boca broke the silence on F90, the program hosted by Sebastián Vignolo.
And the driver went to the bone: "Do you feel they were robbed?" He asked.
"They all saw it: it is the first time something like what Boca Juniors suffered has happened. We feel bad, with uncertainty."
Ameal accepted that Boca may ask for the game to be played again, although the situation will be analyzed once Boca's plane touches Argentine soil: "It would be good (for it to be played again). But I don't know if it can happen. Tomorrow we We are forgetting about the game because the second date starts. I want to thank the Argentine ambassador, Daniel Scioli and the consul.
Chiqui Tapia also gave us all his support; we did not receive the same from the Professional Football League
. No one communicated. We already said that double command does not work. ", he stressed.
Regarding Saturday's game, Ameal asked the link with the League, Roberto Digón, to request the rescheduling of the game but for now he had no answers.
And he remembered the final with Banfield, which they had tried to postpone since he had overtaken the semifinal against Santos.
"It was exactly the same when we returned from Brazil. They told us that if we won, it would be postponed. That we would talk about it after the game. I had told him that we had to suspend because we were very fair. The same thing happens, with the same team and with the same organization ".
In that direction, Ameal lowered the political line and assured that it is the AFA that must re-organize Argentine soccer tournaments.
Returning to the party of the conflict, the president of Boca assured that they were going to talk to Conmebol: "We talk to everyone, we are going to talk."
And then he suggested that it was already pre-established that Boca should be eliminated: "
We played against what was supposedly the best team in South America, we won both games and we are not classified. We
had to take out the one who beat the best."
The journalists asked him if he considered Mineiro to be a powerful team and had moved his influences: "He must have some relationships. The first game happened with a referee and some people in the VAR. And yesterday with other people and other referees. They disallowed goals for us. in both.
Either the problem is Boca and they had to be removed from the competition or we had to be careful with them
. "
