“Not good for the fans”: Pablo Mouche slams Juan Román Riquelme | OneFootball

Pablo Mouche got tired of Juan Román Riquelme after his statements in a recent interview where he talked about various topics. The club idol's management is facing increasing criticism every day due to the lack of titles for almost three years and controversial decisions during his tenure.

Less than a week ago, the president of Boca was with Flavio Azzaro where he made several remarks that caused a strong stir on social media among fans. One of them was Edinson Cavani's injury, where he compared the situation to what happened between 1999 and 2000 with Martín Palermo, who missed a large part of the semester, and there was no question about who should be his replacement or if the club should bring in a new reinforcement.

Since Juan Román Riquelme took over the leadership of the La Ribera club (first as vice president and then as president), one of the main criticisms has been the lack of self-criticism towards his management. This situation caused the first anger of the former Xeneize player: “I'm tired of hearing Román in every interview where all he does is blame the opposition, he's always outraged by what others did or takes it out on the media. You need to let go and focus on managing your club, which needs a lot of improvement.”

Mouche and Riquelme played together at Boca.

But the straw that broke the camel's back for the former forward to unleash his full arsenal against Juan Román Riquelme was when the club's leader became self-referential: “Riquelme played for six years with a youth contract. Riquelme beat Real Madrid with a youth contract, so they could later reap the benefits.”

“Another thing that bothers me a lot is the 'I won'. I want to tell Mr. Riquelme that in that final against Real Madrid there was a man named Martín Palermo, another named Hugo Benjamín Ibarra, there was a man named Sebastián Battaglia, Chelo Delgado, Guillermo… there were players who are idols in Boca's history. Enough of the 'I won', no man, you didn't win, the team won. On the bench was Carlos Bianchi,” he said during his participation in Planeta Boca.

Riquelme received criticism from Mouche.

It is worth noting that Pablo Mouche and Juan Román Riquelme shared the locker room between 2007 and 2012. Together they achieved the historic Apertura 2008 title, which was decided in a triangular with Tigre and San Lorenzo, the Apertura 2011 – the undefeated under Julio César Falcioni – and the 2012 Copa Argentina, in its first edition since 1969. Additionally, they were runners-up in the 2012 Copa Libertadores against Corinthians.
