He always called it his backyard. And now that he's the president of Boca, everything that happens around the stage that saw his best works, counts on his rigorous supervision. It's all about Juan Román Riquelme, who was shown once again walking the pitch of the Bombonera, this time with Florencia, his eldest daughter
The image was published by Flopi herself (the same one to whom Román had dedicated the famous celebration of the Topo Gigio in 2001) on her Instagram account. The post, which shows the two of them together and embracing, with the unmistakable mate in JR's hands, is accompanied by the caption "Romii and Boquita", with a blue heart next to the diminutive with which the author referred to her father.
Florencia is Riquelme's eldest daughter with Anabela Montiel, his girlfriend when he was young and also the mother of Agustín and Lola. Along with her brother and other family members (her father Cacho, uncles or friends) she can be seen regularly at the stadium when Boca plays at home. On the day of the closing of the lists, he even accompanied his father to the decisive meetings for the assembly of the formula and it was even speculated that he would have a place in the future Xeneize board of directors, which finally did not happen.

The reseeding of La Bombonera
The context – the time of day, the sun and the state of the pitch – suggest that the photo is from the afternoon of Sunday, January 14. Román, in this way, can be seen touring the works of recomposition of the lawn a few days after the @todosobreroman account (official of the president xeneize) published images of Riquelme in plan to control the progress of the reseeding of the grass.

A post shared by Juan Román Riquelme (@todosobreroman10)
The work in question became necessary after the delay in the elections that left the tents where the event was held installed for almost twenty days. All that time without sun damaged the impeccable playing field and forced a total change in its composition. Román, just as he did in that reform in which he changed the drainage system, took the issue on his shoulders.
