Admiration does not know colors. Luis Gonzalez Y Juan roman riquelme they can attest. Lucho, recently retired with the Atlético Paranaense jersey at age 40, is a reference of River Plate, where he won four titles in two stages. JRR10 is, perhaps, the greatest idol of Boca Juniors. But between them there was no barrier from rivalry to build a relationship that lasted over time, as described by the midfielder who emerged in Huracán in an interview with TyC Sports.
“I liked playing with Mascherano a lot, because it gave me freedom. Also with Román in the National Team, because we understood each other very well. I had the chance to play with great players, like Quaresma in Porto, Hulk … ”, Lucho prologized. It was there that the journalist Germán Bellizzi asked him if he had indeed baptized one of his sons Roman in homage to his colleague.
“Yes, I named my son Leonel Román for Riquelme. I have great admiration for him, we send each other messages often. Before we met and played together in the National Team, he sent me greetings for Nico Burdisso when we went to the Under 20 and he sent to say that he liked how he played a lot. I have received many messages from him. When I go to the National Team in a call-up, he is the one who begins to call me ‘Commander’ in Argentina, because he saw that in a goal in Porto they had shown a flag that said so “, Lucho said how the bond between them was forged.
“He knows that I named my son Roman for him, he sent me videos for his birthday, a Coca shirt for him. I have great admiration for Riquelme. And more as a person, “he added, before offering a true revelation.
“He always told me that he had two River T-shirts saved that his mother left him. One from Pablo Aimar and the other, mine “, discovered the two millionaire jackets that make up the collection of the now vice president of Boca and head of the club’s Football Council.
In more than one interview, Román was able to comment that he was giving away the Band jackets that his colleagues were bringing him. Lucho, involuntarily, finished detailing which ones were left in his museum. González put an end to his career on May 27 in Brazil, after standing out in the Globo, River, Porto, Olympique de Marseille, A-Rayyan from Qatar, and Paranaense; in addition to the Argentine national team. With 26 Olympic laps, he is one of the Argentine footballers with the most titles in history, behind Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez and Ángel Di María..
