The tense atmosphere at Boca persists and shows no signs of calming down. After the unrest expressed by the fans in the match against Lanús, new banners appeared around the club this Wednesday with criticisms directed at members of the management.

The most recent messages targeted Ricardo Roscica, current General Secretary of the club, and Emiliano Algeiri, head of the Members Department and main member of the Board of Directors.

"Rosica you betrayed (Jorge) Ameal, Román (Riquelme), you're Juda$ SOB", read one of the banners directed at the General Secretary. Another banner insisted on the demand against him and Algeiri: "Return the 45 sticks of the irons".

Although it is unknown who placed the banners around Casa Amarilla, they very well describe what is happening in the club. In recent weeks, tensions are said to have arisen within the Board of Directors, especially between Riquelme and Rosica.

These disagreements caused a break in the relationship between the two, a bond that was previously moderated by Jorge Ameal. However, the current vice president keeps a distant relationship with Riquelme, which has increased the internal frictions and continues to fuel the club's sports crisis.

The fans are starting to get impatient

The unrest of Boca fans was strongly felt again, reflecting their discontent with the team's low football level, even after the penalty shootout victory against Lanús. During the match and also in the moments before the penalty shootout, chants were heard directed at both the Board of Directors and the players themselves.

Around the 30th minute of the second half, the Xeneize supporters vehemently chanted: "players the f... of your mother, let's see if you show some guts, you're not playing against anyone".

Although these chants subsided as the game progressed, once the regular time ended, the anger was redirected toward the management, at a time when the club's president, Juan Román Riquelme, watched the outcome from one of the boxes.

"The board, the board... Go to hell", echoed in the stands of La Bombonera before the penalties that gave the team led by Mariano Herrón the qualification. Shortly after, one of the most traditional chants in this type of context resonated: "Let them all go, not a single one should remain".
