Today, Juan Román Riquelme, president of Boca, visited the streaming channel "AZZ" and broke his silence exclusively with Flavio Azzaro.
Román addressed the main criticisms of his management. Above all, the inability to win titles since he became the club's president.
On another note, he spoke about the prominent role Leandro Paredes has in the team's leadership. At the same time, he tackled the most criticized issue this summer: the lack of reinforcements.
Additionally, he talked about the problems Edinson Cavani is facing. The Uruguayan suffers from constant discomfort and even considered leaving professional football. But the president continues to give him full confidence.
Moreover, Riquelme explained that now the Copa Libertadores is much more complicated than before. What used to be played in six months is now annual and "everything is very different."
Finally, the coach stated that the doubts regarding Úbeda were due to the timing and that "Chelo" Delgado was caught at a moment when it wasn't appropriate to talk about it. Let's remember that journalists approached him before the reserve tournament final.
Next Sunday, Boca will make its debut in the Apertura 2026 when they host Deportivo Riestra at La Bombonera in a year where the Libertadores will once again be an obligation for the Xeneize.
