The president of Boca Juniors, Juan Román Riquelmehe replied Wednesday afternoon to the racist insults of the journalist Gabriel Anello, who had described him as “Black”, “Marrón” and “ignorant”. “Blacks are called blacks, brown, they are called brown,” said the Radio Miter driver.
In statements to the C5N channel, the maximum leader of the Xeneize reacted: “I take all this in a very simple way. For me there are things that are very important. Be respectful, for example. I can agree with something or not, but I always deal with people with respect, that is what my parents taught me”.
“I am proud to say that I am from Don Torcuato, that I am Argentine, that I love my country. I had a normal skin color. I have respect for everyone. I have been lucky to be a footballer with the team of my life. That has given me a lot of happiness, people’s love. But also that they see me as evil, ”Riquelme said.
Then, he added: “They see me as bad because I have not traveled with anyone. If I had traded, they would surely say that I am the best Argentine soccer player. Not having a happy makes me happy.”
Later, Riquelme announced that the club will initiate legal actions against Anello and said what his youngest daughter Lola said when he heard the statements made by the journalist on Tuesday night.
-“My daughter told me about the subject. He told me that there were audios of a man who was very nervous and spoke of me. ‘Ah, look good,’ I replied and she replied: ‘If we stay with that, they will never stop. The only thing I want to tell you is that you work quietly and that you are the most beautiful black in the world ‘”He revealed with a laugh.
“I can only hate someone I know. But to this person [Gabriel Anello] I don’t know her. I know what is a journalist. Nothing else. There are limits. We have a thousand defects, but we are not criminals, ”he completed.
In another section of the interview, he said that he receives constant attacks from the press – he mentioned an “international sports channel” that only issues negative comments about his management in Boca – and clarified: “I do not live from the puterío. In the case of this journalist, lawyers will do everything they have to do. We will continue working and continue taking care of our club. That’s what they voted for us. Nothing else”.
Tuesday night, in the program “What remains of the day”, On Radio Miter, the journalist said: “This is over that discrimination goes to justice, this end of the Curro del Inadi and all these balls. [Juan Román] Riquelme. Send me to Inadi, to justice, to which they want”.
“I have a culture that ignorant and donkeys, those who do not go to school like Riquelme, are ignorant blacks. The inadi is no longer. You the camorists, the Kirchnerists, who shit this country squeezed people with these things. They don’t run. I am not one of the blessing that you are accustomed to treating. I have no street left, I have eggs “he added below.
And he sentenced: “Riquelme, Mansilla 2668. To the trumpens at the door. Not this ‘I send you a lawyer’. Send me the lawyers you want. There is no problem. I am not anti mouth. My father is a Boca fan, my son is a Boca fan, my wife is a Boca fan. I am Anti Riquelme. I respect mouth. Who does not respect is the black Riquelme. That’s how simple I tell them. So simple, to the greengrocer, to the ignorant, to the donkey ”.
