Romi may only be 31 but that’s not too old to do your back in when you’re a professional footballer. Replaced after just 36 minutes against Chaca, Romi will sit out our next encounter with Rosario Central on Sunday. No official word on when he’ll be back, but one can only hope it’s soon…

I tracked down some comments made by our number 10 after the Chaca match. I had Google translate do it’s thing, and whilst the translation is, of course, far from perfect, you can certainly get the jist of what he’s on about.

“I will try to recover as quickly as possible, knowing that I will take a little longer. I’m not worried because the guy you play is going to do well without pressure, the team is doing better,” he said.

He then added, “The important thing is that the team won and might be improved, there were very nice goals. The team is confident and now we must think about the next game against Central, which will be a tough opponent,”

He’s got his press answers down pat, hasn’t he? He, and we the fans, may have faith in his team-mates, but there is no doubt Boca are going to miss him against Rosario. We know it, he knows it. Rosario know it. Hell, even my cat knows it.

We’ll still win, though. Because we are Boca Juniors.

Romi also gave shared his thoughts on the currently white-hot Nico Gaitan and the disgraceful state of the La Bombonera pitch…

“(Nicholas) Gaitan is doing very well and we have great confidence in him for some time,” said Riquelme.

…And, “The course was a disaster and hopefully improve for the next match,” he said. I’m sure it will, Romi. You know you always get what you want, you cheeky devil.

The first ever Boca Offside Quiz wasn’t a huge success…to put it mildly. Was the question too hard? Too pointless, maybe? Whatever it was, I’m not giving up on the segment. I do love me some random, useless facts.

Anyway, the answer was……Luciano Figueroa

I’m sure you all got it, even though you didn’t enter. Stay tuned for the next one, right? Good.
