Riquelme benched Pol Fernández after the whistles and complained about the absence of Boca in the Libertadores: “It doesn’t make much logic”

When Boca’s formation was announced over the loudspeakers, the most whistled players were Guillermo Pol Fernandez y Jorman Campuzano. Maybe that’s why after the game the president Juan roman riquelme He came out to publicly mention it, during an interview with TNT Sports, which was in charge of the broadcast. In addition, the idol of Xeneize He complained about the club’s absence from the Copa Libertadores and asked to modify the classification method because “it makes no sense”.

“Without a doubt, the best player we have in this tournament is Pol Fernández. “He was the one who made us reach the final of the Copa Libertadores, because he was the best in both games in the series against Palmeiras.”said the president.

And he supported Frank Fabra, who did not enter, but is another of those targeted: “He is a player who has been at the club for 9 years, a long time, and he knows well that we love him very much. If we look a little, he started to start when we arrived. He didn’t play before. He is one of those players who is unique”.

In a long talk, Riquelme also referred to Boca’s absence in the Copa Libertadores, since His placement in the 2023 annual table sent him to the Sudamericana. The request pointed to the form of classification because, in his opinion, the runner-up should also directly enter the next edition.

“We are going to try to compete, that’s what it’s about, football is competing again. It hurts us not to play the Libertadores. The two finalists must qualify, otherwise it doesn’t make much sense, if Fluminense didn’t win, they would be out. You are representing your country leaving aside your tournament. We believe that we represent it in the best way. The final is seen all over the world. Whoever loses in the final does not have to be left with nothing. Rank sixth or seventh in the tournaments, it does not have much logical. Both in Argentina and in Brazil, it would be the most logical”he opined.

He also threw a “stick” at Valentine Boattransferred to Brighton. “I don’t get angry. I never got angry, I live a normal life. If he made that decision, he should take charge. Annoying when they want to confuse things. I see it very simple. As a football player you have to go and present the paper that you rescind, very simple”.
