Schiavi hints Juan Román Riquelme picks the team | OneFootball

Rolando Schiavi reignited controversy at Boca Juniors by insinuating that Juan Román Riquelme has direct influence over the selection of the starting lineup. On ESPN's F10 program, the former defender questioned: “Does Úbeda choose the players who take the field? For me, no. Not 100% of the team.”

The statements come amid criticism of Claudio Úbeda due to the recent results of the Xeneize. Without naming specific individuals, Schiavi claimed that the situation “has been happening for some time,” alluding to the management led by Riquelme.

El Flaco, a multiple title winner with Boca, has maintained a critical stance towards the current club leadership for years, which has reignited the debate about the president's role in the football decisions of the first team.
