The climate in Boca is involved in politics. The fact is that the Xeneize campaign did not have the desired results and the upcoming elections will be divided between an old model that will have Mauricio Macri as the protagonist (under the candidacy of Andrés Ibarra as the maximum leader of the opposition) or an ruling party led by Juan Román Riquelme, greatest idol of the institution.

In a recent contact with the press, the current vice president of the Buenos Aires entity and former midfielder of the club, made it clear that if he is elected by the members he will try to incorporate Arturo Vidal, the Chilean star with a past at Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Flamengo , among other international powers. “Two years ago I said that he was born to play here. The same thing happened with Cavani. There are players who were born to wear the Boca shirt. They are extraordinary players, world stars, and it would be a dream for us to have them in La Bombonera,” stressed the head of the Football Council.

In his speech, the candidate for the ruling party once again fired against the opposition and harshly remarked: “I think Boca was very clear in the statement it released. I love my country, I am a bostero and Argentine until death. On Thursday, due to a phone call from a person who felt discriminated against, he asked that the date be changed and named five people, who found out on TV that they were named, which is why Boca released that statement. That person has to be imprisoned, he has to investigate him.”

 

 

In the same vein, Riquelme explained the different management models that will be presented in the elections. “This is football, if they want to use this club to do politics, that's not it here. I love my club. We are not going to let three characters take our hearts out. They want to sell the field to people from abroad, who I don't know. I try to be clear with what I say. I think it has never been so clear that they want to join our club, they are not interested in anything. The colors of the shirt and the shield are very important, but the fans are the biggest thing we have and they are messing with them,” he continued.

“On Sunday we are going to win and on Monday we will announce the coach,” acknowledged the former player with a past at Barcelona, Villarreal and Argentinos Junios. And as he had analyzed in the past, he once again considered that at the polls there will be a procedure in his favor: “We have the simplest elections in the history of the club, Sunday is going to be a party, the fans are going to go vote at the stadium, they are going to step on the grass of La Bombonera. They are showing what they are. I love my country and I am showing what they are. "They are hurting the most sacred thing we have, which are the fans."

In the football aspect, although there are still no details of who could be the new Boca coach in the event that Riquelme wins the elections, among the proposals they emphasize that the former footballer "will continue to bring more reinforcements of international level", as the case of Arturo Vidal, and that “kids will continue to rise to the top”, one of the references that the current leadership of the club highlighted in one of the campaign spots that they spread on social networks.
