Riquelme: “I was very happy with the record of Palermo”
Juan Roman Riquelme gave a press conference where he talked about his relation with Palermo, Boca’s present, the end of his contract, the fight with the hooligans, and even the rumor that says he tried to seduce Pablo Mouche’s girlfriend, Luli Fernandez.
“My relationship with Martin (Palermo) is like anyone at his job. I always say that if I can have friends, much better. But on the field is where we have to our best”
“The reason why I didn’t greeted Palermo’s goal at the moment is because I didn’t feel like celebrating on that side of the court”. The sector he mentions is the hooligans area, now confronted with Riquelme.
Regarding the renewal of his contract he said that “his dream is to finish his career at Boca”. He also spoke about the next coach: “I don’t know what the club is thinking. If I’m in the club and Guillermo (Barros Schelotto) or (Diego) Cagna or whichever is the coach, I want them to win because I’m a fan of Boca.”
Also, without anyone asking, he referred about the rumor that he had tried to have an affair with Luli Fernandez, girlfriend of teammate Pablo Mouche.
“There is evil people that wants to hurt me, but every day makes me happier. I called my friend that day and told him where he was to join him and his girlfriend. He told me to remain calm because he knows the kind of person I am and that made me very happy.”
Towards the end of the press conference, he was asked about Mauricio Macri statements, who spoke of the “error to have Riquelme rehired,” to which he replied with an irony:” He must love me, because he always remembers me. ” The words caused laughter in the room and and Riquelme took the opportunity to leave.
