“Everyone already knows.

They disrespected the group, the club, the shirt, their teammates… ”.

Juan Román Riquelme first tried to dribble the matter, but immediately put his signature on a short circuit that he hopes has come to an end.

This Tuesday, very early in Ezeiza, a new chapter of Sebastián Villa's novel was written in Boca.

The Colombian forward returned to training, although not with his teammates.

He left behind the preventive isolation by returning from Colombia and the conflict that was generated around his future after having left training unilaterally and seeking to force his departure.

Forty days later, Villa was dressed in blue and yellow again.

He arrived at the club grounds at 7.25, he was seen in a good mood, he managed to greet the few witnesses who were waiting for him in the rain and was at the disposal of the squad that Sebastián Battaglia now commands and that seems to have set the course in the tournament local.

On July 29, in the preview of the match that the xeneize tied in Córdoba with Talleres (0-0) for the fourth date of the Professional League, the Colombian had taken his belongings from the property to go to Colombia with the aim of not play more for Boca.

The 25-year-old footballer emerged from Deportes Tolima went into rebellion (he refused to play and train when he was going to start in Córdoba) because Boca did not accept the offer made by Bruges of Belgium of 7 million dollars (gross, to which then you had to give him all the discounts) because he considered it insufficient, taking into account that he only owns 70 percent of the pass and the rest is from the club where he started his career.

At that time from his representation (Rodrigo Riep,

the same one who marked the conflictive departure of Juanfer Quintero from River

) they let it be known that the footballer had taken the boots and had assured that he would not return to the club. Even from some media it was reported that Villa had said that

"I

would

rather drive an Uber than return to Boca

."

But the Colombian had to return. 

With a license until August 13 from

the club, Villa then went to Colombia due to a health problem with his mother and on his return he had to keep quarantine for 10 days. From Colombia, in a publication, he showed his mother still on the stretcher after the operation and alleged that his departure was not due to the proposal of Bruges of Belgium but because of the family issue. 

Now a new stage begins. The Colombian will have to assume a conversation with the new coaching staff (when the conflict began, the DT was Miguel Angel Russo) and surely he will also have to apologize to his teammates.

The team captains, in fact, have already warned that their behavior was not liked

, that it was irresponsible and that they will also have to bear the consequences of it. Battaglia dissociated himself from the problem: "He is a Boca player, he has a contract and he must get well physically."

At the moment it is not known what decision Battaglia will make regarding the Colombian, given that the team achieved a very good performance, with three wins and a draw at the beginning of the cycle, and comes from a great performance in Rosario, where last Saturday He beat Central 2-1 and snapped a 15-year winless streak in Arroyito.

Today there does not seem to be a need or place for Villa. 

From the leadership, the message that Riquelme brought down was very clear: the club never stopped fulfilling its responsibilities with the player and did not intend to transfer him in this market.

Thus, the link remains in force and is one more asset within the campus.

After the harsh criticism that Riquelme made publicly, Villa came out with a strong response through his social networks that keeps the conflict tense and

without return with the

Boca

fans

, who condemn the player's actions.

"When I did the renewal in 2021 we agreed that if an important offer arrived, the club would have no problem negotiating me," said the Colombian.

I am a foreigner and although I am happy that my salary has improved in 2021, understand that the circumstances of the country do not help to support my family and my expenses abroad, so I want an improvement in my professional and economic career as any worker would. requires ".

Why can Villa train with the group again?

It is that Boca will not leave any legal shortcut so that the footballer can take legal action if he perceives that they are not giving him the benefits as a professional to develop his work. For this reason, once he does the work in a separate way (and perhaps in a double shift), Villa can be observed along with the rest of the squad.

From there to play again there is a long way to go ...
