Riquelme encourages his first political act and revolutionizes Boca, one year after the elections

It will be a busy Tuesday. Not only because the second phase of the pre-season for the professional squad will formally start in Ezeiza’s ownership, but also because it will coincide with the launch of the group promoted by Juan Román Riquelme, the current vice president, which could change the foundations within a year from the elections. Yes, it will be the first political act of the “xeneize” emblem speaking in front of some 5,000 members and employees in the same La Bombonera stadium.

The appointment is at 18:00in the parking lot, in what will also serve as a closing ceremony of the year for the champion of the Lega Professionisti. Riquelme will take advantage of it refine your strategies in view of the December 2023 elections, therefore the presence of different players from the club’s politics is expected.

In the meantime, the few details that were known indicate that the group would have been convened ‘I am Bostero’. At least that’s the name that appeared on the forms to add affiliates, which has already exceeded the 10 percent required to be recognized.

Weeks ago, Román attended a dinner for 25 years of the group “For a better mouth”one of the closest to him in recent times.

For the 2023 elections, for the moment, we know the intentions of Andres Ibarra to be a candidate in the opposition, with the figure of Maurizio Macri sponsoring the former Deputy Chief of Staff and former Minister of Modernization of the Argentine Republic, in the “Passion and Management Movement”.

With Ibarra and incorporation in sight

Several kilometers from La Bombonera, in the Boca Predio de Ezeiza, those who will face each other again are the members of the coaching staff and the professional team, with the aim of starting to refine the details from the physical in the prelude to the start of the rehearsals of football, which will be with the Triangular International which will be played on 8 and 11 January in San Juan against Independent Y Everton from Chile, just before what would have been the trip to Abu Dhabi (It has not yet been made official what kind of tournament it will be) to be measured racing.

again with Paul Santella (The former physical trainer of Eduardo Domínguez has joined the working group led by Hugo Ibarra) in charge of the footballers, the intention is to accelerate their leveling after what have been weeks with cases of Covid that have altered floors. Even Darius Benedict (He was in Qatar to witness the consecration of the Argentine national team at the World Cup) he worked extra shifts to adapt to the duties of his teammates. Anything else: for the end of year celebrations there will be another break, the last until August. That’s why in Ezeiza they know that the most challenging tasks are now coming.

With Exequiel Zeballos Y Luis Vazquez at par (both have operated during the competition in this 2022) and with the return of players on loan who will be evaluated (the centre-left Nicola Valentini will be tested by the DT in friendlies) we will also try to ensure that the squad can have a broader base than the one that ended up playing in the tournament, with many young players in key positions. That’s why there will be more kids joining after the preseason ends (January 2) who have started working with the Reserve. For that day is also mentioned Ezekiel Fernandezwhose loan to Tigre ends on 31 December.

The search for incorporations continues, albeit without haste. Is that the international competition will only start in April and the transfer market will extend beyond the first dates of the Lega Professionisti, so there won’t be big movements. And in terms of transfers, the World Cup has slowed down all operations, so to Boca They believe that only in June will they have news of those players who can be sold.

Cases of Augustine Rossi Y Augustine Almondinstead, they are different. Both end their contracts and have been able to trade as free players since January. And if the players don’t try to bring any economic compensation proposal, then they will leave once their contractual relationship ends.
