Riquelme launched his group in Boca, sang with the people and asked to “be there for many more years”

The act of Juan Román Riquelme

Riquelme took the stage around 9:30 p.m. and spoke after a brief introduction by Ameal. Dressed in Boquense clothing, the former player said: “This is what I dreamed of. Thanks to you, thanks to the president, who went to look for me at my house 3 years ago. I have sat down, I have spoken with my children. Agustín is to blame for my returning to the club”-

“Many years ago I said that you were all crazy. They really are all crazy. 3 years ago I returned to my house, which is here, because of all of you,” reviewed the xeneize football manager.

Immediately afterwards, in an electoral key, he warned: “Within a year we are going to have elections again. Three years ago I asked him that we had to be 40 thousand to win. In the ones that come, I have no doubt that we will be 50 thousand, 55 thousand. We are too many fans of our club”.

Referring to 2022, Riquelme considered that it was “a very good year”. “We have won the two tournaments that we play, we have an impressive squad that only wants to compete and win and the preseason has already begun,” he graphed.

Finally, he explained that “we have four days left. Until the 31st we can enjoy that we are the best team in the country. Hopefully we can be together for many years,” he concluded.

After a few minutes listening to the fans, the ex-enganche took the microphone and was encouraged to sing with the people: “Ohhh, I’m a bostero, it’s a feeling, I can’t stop.” Following in his footsteps, those present immediately joined in singing.

I am Bostero

“I am Bostero”sIt will be the sixteenth group that inhabits the political present of the “xeneize” club. To set up a new group, it is necessary to collect a certain number of partner signatures and Román would already have accumulated between 8,000 and 9,000.

For the moment It remains to define whether Riquelme will head the list as president or if he will leave that position for one of the leaders. However, that is not a major concern for the former player as in an interview earlier this year he expressed that “Whoever goes for president would win the election 80 to 20 or 90 to 10.”

On the other hand, the rest of the candidates also confirmed their own groupings: Jorge Reale, from “Boca la Causa”, was the first to apply for 2023, and followed Andrés Ibarra, who has the support of Mauricio Macri, Daniel Angelici and Christian Gribaudo, Jorge Ameal’s last competitor in 2019.

Since Riquelme took over the vice presidency of Boca together with Ameal, the team won the 2019/20 Super League, the 2019 Argentine Super Cup, the 2020 Maradona Cup, the 2021 Argentine Cup and the 2022 Professional League Cup.
