Juan Román Riquelme
surprised this afternoon and came to talk to the journalists who were covering
Boca
's training .
The vice president and idol of the institution recognized the lazy pace of the team led by
Hugo Ibarra
and touched on other topics.
It was a very pleasant talk, although it had its hottest moment when Román was reminded of Martín Palermo's presence at La Bombonera the next Sunday, directing Platense.
Riquelme considered that the Bombonera is "the house" of Palermo and praised him as a teammate and as a fan.
Of course, he stopped the car for a journalist who asked him if he would like to see him as manager of Boca.
"I already have a coach, champion. Let's talk normal things. I have a coach and hopefully Ibarra will be a coach for 20 years, and I will be a leader for 20 years," Riquelme remarked.
The historic hitch benched Ibarra justifying the irregularity of the team in the stoppage that occurred during the World Cup.
"This year we had to play with Racing and the three league games, I'm a fan of my club but I think like a soccer player. And it was hard for me to stop playing for three months, it's not easy to return to soccer," he began by saying.
And he added: "There was a very strange stoppage with the World Cup, it was almost three months. We have a reality, which is that (Sebastián) Villa is worried. He had an injury that stopped him, he returned a few games and it is difficult for him to get up to speed." .
Román included in his analysis the rest of the Argentine soccer teams.
"There are no good games, Argentine soccer is feeling the stoppage of the World Cup."
"There have been three games recently, the games that we play are analyzed more than in the rest. We know that this is the case, the fans are very clear about it. And we are happy because in these three years we have competed well and won a lot. We have a coach at the that we trust", commented later Román, with a smile.
And he gave his opinion about Ibarra: "He is happy, he enjoys being at home. His coaching staff too. We trust them, and with the support of our people who are always there, we will be very strong to fight in all tournaments ".
Regarding the Bombonera, Riquelme complained about the closure of a popular one the day before the game against Central Córdoba.
And he left a spicy comment about the prosecutor Celsa Ramírez, who is leading the case.
"La Bombonera is beautiful. People make the field more and more beautiful. You would have to ask the prosecutor (Celsa Ramírez) what painting it is from...", he said about it.
