Juan Román Riquelme was always characterized by saying what he thinks and this time was no exception. After the tie against Colón in La Bombonera, the current vice president was critical of the players for the way they played the match against the Santa Fe team.
“I think we are a good team, but sometimes too innocent and healthy. I say it in the good sense of the word: we don’t make time, we don’t make mistakes. Yesterday, if Salvio is left lying, Lértora will be expelled for a double yellow”, declared the idol and ignited the controversy.
Colón had equalized in the second half due to a distraction and Riquelme did not like it at all. That’s why that message came to the campus and now rereceived the response from Carlos Izquierdoz, the captain and one of the referents.
“I’ve been playing professional football for 15 years. If I were so innocent or my teammates were so innocent, we wouldn’t be playing in the Primera de Mouth“, declared after the 2-1 win against Aldosivi.
“Clearly we had a distraction that shouldn’t have happened, but the way he said it Roman was not like that ‘we have innocent players’. There are times that you have to use that famous take advantage, buy time, cut with fouls or cause a foul, but nothing, we play like that. The goal was distractions that we should have corrected. If they hadn’t scored that goal for us, no one would have said anything,” he added.
Boca lives a small intern and the big problem is that these issues are being talked about again in the media. Riquelme should express his disagreement in the locker room and had no need to expose the squad in an interview. This time the players did not remain silent and the captain spoke on behalf of them. Will there be a new response from Roman?
