What lies behind the media fight: the three points of discord in the renewal of Carlos Tevez’s contract with Boca

The climax of the tugging came this Sunday, when Jorge Bermúdez, a member of the Boca Football Council headed by Juan Román Riquelme, beat up Carlos Tevez in social networks. The former defender played hard on his Twitter account. “It is comforting that there are independent media without compromises that approach the subject with tact and coherence. The truth always prevails where the lie makes many efforts to appear “, he wrote in a post in which he shared a media note Political Record, which talks about Tevez’s intentions behind the future plan he made public (“Maybe he shot me to be president …”) and his link with Daniel Angelici, former director and main political rival of the current management of the cast of La Ribera.

Point of no return? In the round trip between the parties there was already room for backtracking, but what seemed like a simple negotiation, the renewal for one year of one of the figures of the team led by Miguel Ángel Russo in the epilogue of the Super League that Boca snatched from him to River, it became a conflict. A short circuit that Jorge Amor Ameal, blue-blue president, was not expected. “Between his desire and ours, it is easy to solve. As long as it is well, it will continue to give us satisfaction, ”he had said in mid-May.

Boca took the first step, making a one-year bond offer. But it was the words that generated the first point of discord. “When we took over Carlos Tevez was a former soccer player. He was badly beaten by what happened last year, he did not have confidence and he had a role that was not clear. For many people, Tevez was out and Román would come to kick him and leave. ”, was Bermúdez’s appreciation in dialogue with TyC Sports. Raúl Cascini opined in the same tone. If you tried to be a buff, it had the opposite effect. Until Jorge Ribolzi, Gloria Xeneize, came out to the crossroads of the strongmen of the Football Council.

“Boys, if you think he is a former player, a term I do not share, in the locker room face to face. No to journalism !!! ”, noted the Russian on Twitter. The recommendation went viral. He later made other statements in Continental Radio: “The boss is violent, that is said face to face. They are phrases that if you think for 2 minutes you don’t say them, an error was made ”.

And Tevez, in his statements last Friday, made it clear that he had not liked the term “former player.” “I don’t see or hear anything, but it obviously came to me. They tell you how it was and it bothers you, you have to tell them indoors and it stays there. If we have any difference with the subject of the contract, we cannot make it public. Still, we don’t have to fix much. In a negotiation one has his position, the other his, and it seems to me that both are valid. I want to go well with Boca, I don’t want to go fighting with anyone, but I’m also not going to let you disrespect me. It stays here. We will surely discuss it privately. The good for Boca is that we sit down, let’s talk, and if they have to tell me something they will say it, “he replied.

In his position on the hurtful label that Bermúdez dedicated to him, Carlitos, 36, knew how to slide what lies underneath the verbal pyrotechnics. He spoke of “some difference”. Actually, there are two, the other two points of discord. One is the duration of the link. Boca offered to extend it until June 30, 2021. Tevez gambeteado the proposal and asked for six months of tie.

“I will continue in Boca, obviously. I want one more chance to play Libertadores. With the pandemic it is not known what will happen to the Cup, but I want to play it. I accepted the proposal without any problem, we made some changes and Adrián (Ruocco, his representative) sent the counter offer. We will leave stipulated in the contract where it will go, I do not want to see any silver. You go directly to a charity“He declared in a note with A good moment, by radio The Network.

Behind there is also an economic tug. When the new management took over in Boca, he found, according to his view, an “implausible” contract with part of the amount collected in advance. In consecuense, in the negotiation the leadership included a cut in salary. And although Tevez stood out with the donation to the NGO, there was still no agreement on the fine print of the link. Will there be peace and continuity of the idol in the squad of the Argentine soccer champion?
