The president of Mouth, Juan Roman Riquelmehe seemed very confident about the Club World Cup by declaring that it is “the biggest club in the world” and that they are willing to “compete against everyone” to prove their worth.
“We are the biggest club in the world and we always want to compete against everyone”Riquelme said in an interview for Radio La Red one day after the draw for the 2025 Club World Cup.
“For us it is a pride and a happiness to be able to be in the Club World Cup, that is the first thing. And second, it is also a happiness for the teams that played us, they are all teams of a very high level. We know that the competition is going to be very beautiful and we have confidence,” said the president about the contest and what the xeneize adventure will be for it.
Riquelme also highlighted in a positive way that they have faced rivals such as Benfica and Bayern Munich, since “When you are a footballer you dream of being able to face the biggest teams in the world to see if you can do well, to see if you are capable of competing with the best”.
And he added that he felt the same when he played for the club: “I defended the colors of Boca, which already needed the height of playing for the best. I think we have done quite well and I hope that now the boys can be with the same hope and that we can compete in this great tournament in the best way.”
Boca will be part of the Group with Bayern Munich, Benfica and Auckland City, after the draw for the new Club World Cup.
The xeneize cast, being selected in Pot 3, will have its first match against Benfica from Portugal, which has several Argentines such as Nicolás Otamendi and Ángel Di María.
Then they will play against the oceanic team, Auckland City from New Zealand, the only one in the tournament, and against the most complicated, a priori, of the group, Bayern Munich, with whom they already played and lost an Intercontinental final in 2001.
Riquelme and the reinforcements
The president of Boca also gave details about the transfer market: the Chilean Carlos Palacios is almost closed and he announced that they will have to incorporate players in other places on the field.
“We are quite advanced and, God willing, we are in the final details. Next week we believe that Carlos will be in Buenos Aires doing his studies, and if everything goes as we think, he will be watching the game against Independiente there. in La Bombonera,” said Riquelme.
On the other hand, he acknowledged that “in some positions we are going to have to reinforce ourselves,” and he toned down the arrivals of Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes.
“Dybala has been the star of Italian soccer for ten years; Paredes is a friend of mine, I love him, I adore him, but he has the hope of continuing to play there for a while longer,” Riquelme concluded.
