The vice president of Boca and head of the Soccer Council, Juan Román Riquelme, released explosive statements this Saturday against the head of the Professional Soccer League, Marcelo Tinelli. He said that the Showmatch driver assured him on Thursday night that he could count on the isolated players after the scandalous elimination against Atlético Mineiro, for the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores and that the next day he called him to tell him otherwise. And he remarked:
"We are never going to do such a big role as not showing up."
"The president of the League, Marcelo Tinelli, at 9 o'clock at night he sent me a message saying that we were going to do a PCR to be able to play with our squad. On Friday he calls me and tells me that we can't play with the professional squad" Riquelme started from Florencio Sola, the Banfield court, minutes before the start of the game that Boca will face with a formation full of youth and with 9 debutants.
And he continued: "Who are we playing against on Tuesday? Who is the president of the League a fan? Is it very difficult to pass the game to Wednesday?"
On the other hand, Riquelme took the opportunity to hit River by elevation, who had to go through a quarantine after his preseason in Miami.
"We did not break the bubble at any time. We did the studies and they were all negative. We went to Brazil to represent Argentine football, we did not go to play a friendly to win money," he ironically.
