Angelici accuses Riquelme: “Román believes his own lie, off the pitch he leaves much to be desired”

Since his departure from Boca and the replica of Jorge Amor Ameal in club management with Juan Roman Riquelme as vice and strong man, Daniele Angelici He spared no questions to the current management. The two political spaces, in fact, are the protagonists of a cold war that at times becomes public: and the closing of a tray in the candy box It was the axis of cross accusations that explained the reasons.

Outside the football sphere, Angelici was interviewed by the TN news at the inauguration of the Casa degli Studi of the Democracy Institute, at which he was present together with the vice president of the Radical Civic Union Martin Lousteau. In this context, the former Boca boss referred to the present of the club and the interest in its space which is regaining control.

“I meet many people on the street who are not satisfied with the management of the club, like today. But I’ve always said: Ameal -or Riquelme- should have won the elections and it’s up to them to govern”. Partners have the possibility to evaluate whether the management is good or not“, Angelici remarked underlining that Xeneize is out of political life, even if he will support one of the candidates.

“My stop at Boca is over for now. Yes, I will accompany the opposition candidate. With my vote or whatever they ask me. Hopefully the opposition unites a candidate to give the partner another alternative,” he explained to TN and although he also ruled out Mauricio Macri running in the club’s next election, he admitted he wants that support.

“I’d love to, but Macri won’t run. Maybe he’s willing to accompany, maybe on the list, to give his support. We need to see what he’ll do with his future too. He’s my friend, he’s ours. Boca has already given him a lot joy, so it would be great for him to get involved with the club again,” he remarked before shooting Riquelme, who predicted a “95 to 5” victory in the next election and that they will have him as their candidate.

“Román believes his own lie, the one he has been telling to the fan for many years. He says, he convinces himself and this is not a reality. He won us the last election. Almost 50 percent of the partners did not vote for him in the last election, despite winning. Do you now think you did a great job of getting 95% to vote for you? You have to be more humble. Riquelme is an idol for everything he has given to Boca, but off the pitch he has always left a lot to be desired.”

The spare part of the Bombonera

The number of members and the stadium’s capacity have been a physical discomfort for decades: there are more people entering the Bombonera and renovation or relocation projects are recurring axes of presidential campaigns.

“You can’t lie to the Boca fan every time there is an election with the stadium issue. No one will expand the Bombonera in that place. Since the time of Alberto J. Armando which is being discussed. It’s not all the presidents Those who “They went from Boca they are stupid. The club really needs a stadium for 80,000 people. Moreover, they are skipping the list of members: they have registered 18,000 more, (therefore) there will continue to be problems”. analyzed Angelici, who during his last management sparked the idea of ​​building another stadium after buying the surrounding properties.

In the interview Angelici also opened an opinion on the progress of the team and coach Hugo Ibarra. “I’m seeing him (Boca), he rarely plays well but he’s been coming for a long time. Even when I was there lately he didn’t play well. He hasn’t improved much, the players have left and he’s lost hierarchy. Against the defense he has played well, but not against Banfield. One has already gone through that phase and from the outside he is one more fan: always encouraging, always eager to see Boca win,” he said.

“I love Negro Ibarra very much. He accompanied me in my first season, but the most important thing is to have a coach who has 100% autonomy, which is very difficult with the Football Council and with Riquelme,” concluded the ex president. de Boca in two consecutive periods between 2011 and 2019.
