After the attack came the counterattack: the holder of the Professional Football League, Marcelo Tinelli, crossed with force the vice president and idol of Boca Juniors, Juan Román Riquelme, whom he accused of having a

"small thought"

.

Tinelli's reaction was due to previous statements by Román: with Boca's professional squad isolated after breaking the health bubble while passing through Brazil, the ex-footballer suggested that his request to suspend the games against Banfield and San Lorenzo was rejected to benefit to the Boedo team.

"Against whom are we playing on Tuesday? And who is the president of the League a fan?" Asked Riquelme, sarcastically, who also said that Tinelli promised him that the professionals could appear in both games and then he declined.

What a little 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, which have played in similar situations.

I miss you.

I still value you and I appreciate you.
