Beto Márcico criticized Boca players and demanded a thorough cleanup.

With no competitions both locally and internationally until the Club World Cup in mid-June, Boca is going through one of the most critical sporting and institutional periods. After the tough defeat against Independiente, the fans once again expressed their discontent with the club and were relentless with the management and the players, to whom they dedicated boos and chants.

In this context, the one who decided to speak up after the tough loss to the Rojo was Alberto Beto Márcico, one of the club's great idols, who didn't hesitate to point at the squad. "You have to get rid of five or six players, they shouldn't be at Boca anymore. They didn't measure up to play at the club," Beto stated in declarations to the program Fútbol Continental.

"When I arrived at the stadium, people already knew something was going to happen. At Boca, many things need to be improved and there are players who don't measure up. Maybe it's too much for them to play here," he added.

"There are players that people can't stand anymore. After that, it's going to be much more serious for the directors later," continued the former playmaker, who wore the blue and gold jersey in the 90s.

Beto also harshly criticized Carlos Palacios, who missed a clear goal opportunity in the first half against the Rojo. "When he missed the goal, he spent 45 seconds looking at the ground... It can't be. They have to prepare you differently," he stated.

Finally, Márcico referred to Boca's future coach and issued a strong warning: "The one who comes has to bring discipline. If not, these players will eat him alive. I was at the club and I know what things need to change."
