After a practice of Boca where Hugo Ibarra ratified his position to make several changes in the team for the duel against Martín Palermo’s Platense this Sunday at La Bombonera, Juan roman riquelme burst into the press room at Brandsen 805 and, among other things, He referred to the present of Sebastián Villa and that the Colombian is worried.
“I always think as a football player, I will never stop being one”, They were the first words that the blue and gold vice president spoke to later draw a parallel with his personal experience when he wore the sacred mantle of the Ribera: “It was very difficult for me to return to football after three months, there was a very strange report about the World Cup and we have a very clear situation in which Villa is a bit worried.”, commented.
And then I continue pointing out the coffee attacker, who according to the gaze of the entity’s greatest idol is suffering the stoppage for the World Cup: “It is logical. He hurt his knee before the end of last tournament, stopped for two months, played a few minutes against Gimnasia and Independiente and then had a three-month break for the World Cup.”
“It has been six months without competing. So it is logical that it will take her a little more time to catch up”, stressed Riquelme, who later assured that the Colombian “He is the one who is feeling it the most” to the stop, and brandished melting in praise for the former Deportes Tolima: “He had a stoppage with his knee… he helped us at the end of the tournament. He is a player of an immense category, but now he is suffering that part, but when he picks up a rhythm he will give us many solutions, happiness and he will help the team a lot. team… We must not forget that this tournament is long.”
Riquelme and the concern of Villa in Boca
Riquelme and the bank to Ibarra in Boca: “We trust him”
“There have been three games recently. We are clear that each game we play is analyzed much more than the rest. Just like the problems. The fans are clear about it. We are happy because in these three years we have won three titles and competed very well. We have a coach we trust. We want to play better and I have no doubt that we are going to do it because these players got used to it, they like to compete”, added the vice president of Boca.
Emphasizing Ibarra, Riquelme maintained that he seems comfortable in the position and also made it clear that they trust him to reverse the situation: “He’s happy, this is his home. He enjoys being here every day. He looks happy, sure of what he wants. We trust the coaching staff and the players, and I have no doubt that we’re going to compete all year.”
Riquelme, forceful about the closure of La Bombonera
“The pitch is beautiful, La Bombonera is beautiful. Our people make it more and more beautiful, it’s a party every time we play.
You would have to ask the lady (Celsa Ramírez) what painting it is from, what do I know… It’s the same one that made my son testify, I think. We would have to see now… We know that everything is in order. This afternoon, things will be presented to him and I hope he works until Saturday and that he prepares the pitch for us as it should be. Because the other day he worked until Saturday. That he works until Saturday because the only one that hurts is the fan.
We live in a country where the only thing we bring from Monday to Friday is bad news. For the Boca fan it is very important to go to the field on Sunday because it is a party, he forgets all the problems, he is going to support his club, he is going to have a party. I ask the lady (Celsa Ramírez) to let the fans go and enjoy a show, to be in her house, because the fans of the club are the owners of our house, and the only thing we want is to enjoy on Sunday receiving to one of our idols (Martín Palermo) as coach of the rival team, that the Boca fan will do it as he deserves”.
