Juan Roman Riquelme’s Angry Goal Celebration

By: Daryl | December 2nd, 2008

Boca Junior’s Juan Roman Riquelme had been arguing with 21 year old Boca fan Augustin Pozzetti earlier in this home game vs Racing, so after volleying a 60th minute winner the playmaker ran 55 yards to point an angry finger at Pozzetti.

Unfortunately, Pozzetti’s fellow Boca fans then turned on the non-believer and a fight broke out, which could be bad news for Riquelme.

“In principle he has violated two rules,” [public prosecutor Luis] Cevasco said on Monday. “One which concerns affecting the progress of the match and another which concerns inciting disorder.
“We have to verify the motive and the gestures,” he said, adding the offences could yield fines or up to 10 days in custody.

Looks to me like Pozzetti was pretty happy with Riquelme scoring and pointing at him, and you could even argue that Riquelme might not have scored the winner without Pozzetti’s motivation. If anything, I’d say the fault here is with the fans who attacked Pozzetti, which was pretty unnecessary.

Assuming Riquelme doesn’t go to jail anytime soon, he could be leading Boca to the title. This win puts them two points clear at the top of the Primera Division with two games to go.

  Riquelme showed poor judgment. That’s just the way he is, he couldn’t hack playing big time football in Europe or England so he returned to Argentina.

  Couldn’t hack it wouldn’t be the term i’d use. no umm, greedy I think, fits a lot better, in Roman’s case.

  What do you know about Riquelme… have you ever been in the Bombonera?? Have you ever even WATCHED a Boca Juniors game? He is on of the best players in the world and that stupid boy should never go to Boca again to challenge our players… that’s not a fan, that’s an idiot… I hope he gets what he deserves. ROMAN WE LOVE YOU!!
