Juan Román Riquelme spoke once more this Monday in the run-up to the elections in Boca, where he is a presidential candidate, and referred to the irregular change of election day, which went from Saturday to Sunday the 3rd following a judicial ruling. In turn, he spoke regarding the foreign interests behind the privatization advance, his last meetings with Mauricio Macri – vice candidate for the opposition -, La Bombonera and his relationship with Carlos Bianchi.
“When I say that the most sacred thing is the fan and they are hurting him every day, it is because we had the elections on Saturday the 2nd. We wanted to vote that day because we are lucky that people come from Mar del Plata, from Rosario, from Santa Fe , from Tucumán, from the south of the country, from Jujuy, from Catamarca… And we have to think that these people have to do 10, 15, 20 hours on the bus to come and enjoy their party, because they are the true owners And then return 10, 15, 20 hours once more by bus to their house, so that on Sunday they can rest and on Monday they can work. And the only thing they are trying to do is prevent the fan from coming to vote,” explained the current vice president. , before recounting the background of the complaint that caused the change of day.
“They called by phone, as everything is done lately these 30, 60 days. An anonymous person called by phone, reporting that he felt discriminated once morest, something we would never do. They named eight people and, of the eight, six found out through the media that They used his name. And those six presented themselves to the club and thank God we have them before a public notary, with their statements and their signatures, who used their names. I went until seventh grade, that’s where I’m crude, but I think the logical thing is is that whoever made that complaint goes to prison. The judge also did his job poorly because when you receive a complaint, I think you have to investigate first, before giving a sentence,” Román accused in a television interview with Jorge Rial.
“They’ve already crossed the line, you can’t be that dirty”
“My brother’s case was the same, due to a phone call,” the candidate continued. “And it so happens that my brother’s complaint with the community’s complaint to change the date of the elections was signed by the same substitute judge or “What’s his name,” said the exenganche without being able to avoid laughing. “It amuses me, what do you want me to tell you? Because some Argentinian will finally realize what we are experiencing. It’s too clear.”
“I thought that this didn’t happen, that it happened on TV or when I watch the series. There are elections and we have to take care of them among all the fans. This is like sport, we have to compete, on Sunday we have to compete and what What I ask of the opposition is that they put an end to so much dirt and help so that our fans can go on Sunday to experience a party, as it should be every four years. It seems to me that they have already crossed the line, that’s it, it cannot be that dirty. be in a competition, so to speak,” Riquelme struggled, in reference to the formula composed by Andrés Ibarra and Mauricio Macri.
“They are going to sell it to several foreigners”
Román also referred to another of the election issues, the entry of Sports Joint Stock Companies in Argentine soccer, which has the support of Macri and the elected president, Javier Milei.
“The shield is very important, the colors are very important. But above all are the fans. The fans are sacred, there is no problem with that. And here they are touching it every day and that bothers a lot. We have the simplest elections in the history of our club. Because we have football and other disciplines, it is not just a football club. Or you choose to have your heart ripped out. That is the truth. They are going to sell it to several foreigners, we will no longer be part of or owners of the club. club”.
The meetings with Macri
“He lost the PASO by a lot in 2019 and three days later he summoned me to the Quinta de Olivos, he had me for seven hours and wanted to convince me to make him beat (Christian) Gribaudo. I answered the normal thing, that everything in life “You can’t buy it,” Román recalled regarding a meeting with Macri during the last elections, while when asked regarding the meaning of “buying,” the ex-husband subtly returned: “I think I’m too clear.”
Regarding the last face to face with Macri, Riquelme repeated what he revealed for the first time a few days ago and caused a certain stir: “The last time I spoke was six months following the World Cup, when he told me that he had to bring the number nine from Qatar. If it wasn’t going to be complicated for us to continue having Qatar as a sponsor on the shirt. I told him that we love the club, we respect Qatar’s number nine… I don’t know who he is. But we try in every way, and with all the problems that the country has, to bring in players that we believe can help us.
About La Bombonera
“If you change La Bombonera as the opposition has announced… No matter how much you go to the corner, three blocks away or ten, our club is over, our history is over, everything is lost. They rip out our hearts, that’s how it is.” easy. And that can’t happen. I can’t say that I’m going to enlarge the field without talking regarding the neighbors. I have to go talk to them, and if they agree, perfect.”
“They gave us the club with debt, these same people who want to return to the club, who promise a stadium, who promise to be PSG, or whatever. Because promising is easy. And we, following four and one and a half years pandemic, for the first time a football club puts the balance sheet on the website so that you can review it from top to bottom and we have 28 million dollars in the box.
“No one says that they gave us an abandoned sports facility that we had to fix everything, where we had the largest pool in Ezeiza because every time it rained it flooded… There are the recordings, and thank God we were able to fix it. And La Bombonera, Many times it was suspended because it flooded and we made the decision to fix it, it took us a couple of months and it makes us very happy.”
The alleged Bianchi video
In the last few hours, the version circulated that Carlos Bianchi would star in a video – it is even rumored with a return as DT – in explicit support of Román’s candidacy, who referred to it: “He is our idol. He is the one who taught us to compete. He arrived in ’98, it was very cold in Tandil, he told us ‘hello, I’m Bianchi’ and we just lost once morest Independiente in ’99, imagine. He changed the mentality of our club, he made us believe that winning the Copa Libertadores It’s simple and we were lucky to have him. He is more than a coach for me, he loves me a lot, I love him a lot, his wife too. I make a lot of trouble for him every time I go to the house. I always talk to him. I don’t “I’m not going to use anyone. I’m happy that he loves me and always remembers me.”
