The sharp tongue is a faithful characteristic of Ricardo La Volpe. And this time he did not walk around when asked about the new role of Juan Román Riquelme, now in his role as leader (second vice president) of Boca. “It would be great if Riquelme calls me as General Director. It could teach you many things about what is the tactics and strategy in football. I turn Riquelme like an average talking about tactics; I paint his face “, expressed the Argentine coach who lives in Mexico, in statements on DirecTV Sports, recommending that he be hired for this new stage of the xeneize club.
La Volpe did not leave a good image in Boca after leaving after losing an unusual championship in 2006. Back then, he had taken over the leadership of Basile’s team (who went to head to the Argentina National Team) shortly after the tournament had started and that Boca went straight to the championship with six points advantage and two games at stake. However, he lost both and Estudiantes snatched the trophy from him in the final tiebreak played at the Amalfitani stadium in Vélez.

Speaking absolutely of tactics, La Volpe analyzed: “I was against 4-3-1-2 that was no longer used in the world. The coupling was absorbed by the two (steering wheels) of containment. Riquelme would put it loose I wouldn’t hook it up. “

Finally, he took the opportunity to deny his formal retirement as technical director, hinting at the rumor that circulated months ago. “It’s a lie that I retired as a coach. I got tired of soccer because they didn’t give me the players I needed. Everything is handled by the representatives, “he shot.

And if Román calls him, what will La Volpe do with Carlitos Tevez, for example? Already, in previous statements, he had confirmed his position: “Tevez can play second 9”. Will it be given? Hard for Roman to call him …
