City of Buenos Aires, May 16, 2011

The historic midfielder of Boca Juniors, Juan Roman Riquelme, said today that he waits for River Plate to avoid relegation, and for both teams to regain the level they once had.

“I want River to avoid relegation”, he said after his team won by 2-0 in the Bombonera.

Furthermore, Riquelme said that he would like Carlos Tevez to play at least one year in Boca again. “I will try to convince him to come. I would love to play a championship with him. If we have to raise money between the players, we’ll do it”, he said.
