They say you have to help luck and Juan Román Riquelme’s concept seems very clear. As in his old and glorious era with the number 10 shirt, when he left everything every time he played the final, the now vice president of Boca is attentive to the smallest detail in specific battles also from the board, to the gallery. This one detail of her appearance proves that the supreme idol Xeneize is immune whom she respects in the letter.
No one noticed it, just a group of Boca fans, who were also mostly on social networks. A series of photos show Roman appears to be wearing the same shirt as the three the four titles the club celebrated from La Ribera since the current leadership oversaw the institution. And only three because of the rest the Torero did not travel with the team.
It doesn’t take much effort to remember the first photo in the timeline. The scene was recorded in the memory of Boca fans but also on the River. The date? March 7, 2020. The stage? The Bombonera. The occasion? Boca received Gimnasia de Maradona with a dream of winning and expecting a setback from Millo, who plays in Tucumán. And it all happened like in the best of dreams: a shoe from Tevez gave the 2019/2020 Superliga to Miguel Ángel Russo’s team, who arrived as DT a few months before, with the newly arrived board of directors.
After Carlitos ’goal, TV hit Roman, who remained unmoved and didn’t even celebrate the goal. The procession was inside, he would confess later, it was that relief came when River’s equality with the Dean was confirmed. That was the first time the black shirt appeared which continues to accompany him to this day, as seen in Córdoba.
It is that by the end of 2021, Roman will once again wear the black Diesel brand shirt with the legend. “All Nighter, 8pm – 6am” in Santiago del Estero, last December Boca beat Talleres on penalties in the Argentine Cup final.
And last weekend, despite the fact that she was shown wearing a kangaroo jumper at Kempes, a video from before the game showed that under her coat Riquelme was again wearing a black All Nighter shirt, which now has to change its name to “All Winnings” because they all win.
Ameal Riquelme’s fourth season title was the Maradona Cup, in January 2021, on that night of penalties against Banfield in San Juan. But Román followed the alternatives from afar, at a critical moment in the coronavirus pandemic. Did he wear it to watch a TV game at home? As they say on networks: there are no guarantees, or doubts.
It is sold on the Internet
Abroad, the original version of Román’s shirt is available for nearly 80 dollars, according to official pages. And there we have to add the shipping costs and wait for the delay that usually generates in this type of transaction.
However, now that it has been popularized by the Romans, popular ingenuity has made it possible to appear replicas of sober garments, and at a cheaper price: it is available for only 2,500 pesos and on notice of sale (of course , no doubt) the picture of Román celebrating the Bombonera box.
cabals coming and going
The data does not lie. Riquelme’s arrival in Boca revolves around the story in relation to the clashes against River. With Román in the box, Xeneize won the two matches Gallardo’s team had to face, both on penalties, the first in the 2021 League Cup and the second in the Argentine Cup of the same year. In addition, thanks to Russo and Battaglia, they won more titles than Doll won, 4 against 2.
And here the cabuleros will remember that the golden years of the River also have one of the amulets to hold: Rodolfo D’Onofrio’s red sweater. Whether hot or cold, the former Millionaire president is seen with a vivid pullover that is often hard to combine with other leader looks but can’t be lost in every superclassic or important final for the band, and almost always (for not saying always) has remained unparalleled.

With D’Onofrio far from the River, the power of fate now appears to have been left in Roman’s black shirt. That yes, well fed by a team that played with authority against the Tigers, won 3-0 and became the fair champions of the League Cup. That’s why luck should help …
