After months marked by a deep sports crisis, questions aboutJuan Román Riquelme, president of Boca, have multiplied. In addition to the elimination from the Copa Libertadores against Alianza Lima, there were defeats against Racing, River and Independiente, the messy departure of Fernando Gago, the embarrassment against Auckland City in the Club World Cup, and the conflict withMarcos Rojoand other sidelined players.

In this context, journalist Gastón Edul launched a harsh criticism of Riquelme's leadership during his appearance on "La NocheMirtha," hosted by the famous Mirtha Legrand, where he held nothing back: "At this point, it's a management that doesn't work. It failed."

"It's the worst streak in its history. It's the first time in 120 years that Boca has gone 11 matches without a win. It's the worst year in history, and in addition, there are institutional issues," he stated emphatically.

He went further, pointing directly at the way the Xeneize idol governs: "Boca fans are hurt by going against their greatest idol. But his management doesn't work. Riquelme surrounded himself with people who, instead of disagreeing, say yes to everything. That's a big mistake. He paid a high price, but that doesn't mean he bought well."

The words of the TyC Sports journalist add to a long list of critical voices, questioning both Boca's sporting and institutional direction, amid an increasingly tense atmosphere and a scenario that demands urgent changes.

Edul's defense of Davoo Xeneize

A few days ago, on the program Gol Gana, when the renowned Boca streamer was mentioned, with whom he has a great friendship, Gastón Edul didn't hesitate to support him after the comments from Diego Chavo Fucks and Daniel Arcucci.

"We're here to support you, we love you, and we admire you. We find some comments disrespectful," he said.

"The only thing I have to say is this. Davo is an excellent person who works every day. Everything he has, he earned by working nonstop. I'm amazed by how much he works," he commented.

"He streams eight hours a day live, thinks of four YouTube videos a day. Everything he has, he deserves it, let him keep going. Those who follow him know he hasn't been critical of Boca's management for just two days. He's been saying it for a year. He's been saying it for a while, that's where they got it wrong (those who criticized him)," he concluded.
