During his presentation at the Inter-American Council for Trade and Production (CICyP), President Javier Milei did not miss the opportunity to launch a direct criticism at Juan Román Riquelme, the top authority at Boca. This is not the first time the president has publicly questioned the former footballer for his role as a club executive, and this time he did so again with irony and a mocking tone.
In the midst of his account of the attack he suffered during an event in Lomas de Zamora, Milei recalled episodes from his life linked to football, from his years as a youth player at Chacarita to experiences as a fan in different stands. There, he introduced a sharp comparison regarding the Xeneize leadership:
"When I went to see Boca-Palmeiras, when I was a Boca fan... I mean, as you can imagine... I think Boca's current president was chosen by a River fan. It wasn't you, was it? What do you think, Edu? It was definitely a River fan. It was Toto (Caputo), or you," he said with laughter, seeking complicity among those present.
