Boca's novel continues.
And the fans seem to have no rest.
After the epic game of the kids from the reserve who drew against the professionals from Banfield (playing two games in 24 hours), now
the leaders of Xeneize sent a letter to the Professional Football League to suspend the match this Tuesday against San Lorenzo de Almagro
and be able to play on Wednesday or Thursday.
Boca requests that extension because, 24 hours later, the days of isolation ordered by the Ministry of Health would be fulfilled and Miguel Angel Russo could be on the bench and put the headlines in the match against the Cyclone.
It is worth saying that the formal request that Boca makes to the League and its president, Marcelo Hugo Tinelli, comes after the crossing that the driver had with Juan Román Riquelme.
The memory is latent: after returning from Brazil, where the Ministry of Health considered that the Argentine team had violated the health bubble, the Professional Football League did not accept to suspend the game that Boca had this Saturday with the Drill, so its leaders They went all out against MT.
"It is a strange thing because the president of the League on Thursday at 9:30 at night sent me a message that when I finish the interview with you I will show it, Mr. Marcelo Tinelli sent me a message saying that on Saturday ( the headlines) if the PCR was negative, they could play the game. Tinelli told me they were going to play, and then they called me and told me they couldn't play, "Riquelme launched in an interview with ESPN.

In the same interview, JR explained why Battaglia used the kids who played against Banfield a day later in the reserve: "Thursday night he tells me they play the headlines with negative PCR, that's why they played in the Reserve. Yesterday, At four in the afternoon he calls me and says they can't play ... Does that sound serious? Let them play yesterday and play today? We understand what the Government is asking of us, that's why we remain locked up until Tuesday. But they told us one thing and then another was done. "
To all this, Tinelli took the opportunity to reply to Riquelme on Twitter, as he had done before in his television program: "What a small thought Roman. I would never put my personal feelings before the regulations and the decision of the Board of Directors of the @LigaAFA and of all the clubs, who have played in similar situations. I wonder about you. I still value you and I appreciate you. "
