The president of Platense, Sebastian Ordonezassured that the club’s coach Martin Palermo will not attend the match farewell to Juan roman riquelme on Sunday June 25 at the La Bombonera stadium because he has to coach against Arsenal and they don’t give him the time to be in both places at the same time.
“Palermo is not going to go, they don’t give him the times, because we play the same day”was the president’s determination on the situation.
And it is that Platense will have to play their match corresponding to date 21 in Sarandí against Arsenal at 6:00 p.m., and although Riquelme did not confirm the schedule of his special match, Palermo would not have time.
Despite their differences throughout history together in Boca, Riquelme decided to invite Palermo to his tribute match, since he is one of the great figures of the club and could not miss such an event.
The most emotional thing is that both could have shared a team again since the confrontation will be Boca vs. Argentine national team, due to the stars who are not familiar with the xeneize fan who will be present.

Beyond his fights in the past, the vice president of the institution acknowledged that the most beautiful goals in La Bombonera were those converted by Palermo and that he felt very grateful to have shared the pitch with him.
“The most beautiful goals in this stadium were scored by Palermo, we were lucky to experience it from the inside. We were very lucky to have teammates who made things very easy for us”said.
