Juan Román Riquelme is ready for the big match. He’s the president of Boca Juniors, and they’re playing Benfica in the first round of the Club World Cup. The game is tonight at 11 PM.
Riquelme thinks Benfica is a tough team. But he’s feeling good about it. “We’re confident,” he said. “We want to make our fans happy.” He’s worried about one player, though – Di María. “He’s one of the best Argentine players ever,” Riquelme said.
The other teams in the tournament are pretty good too. Bayern just beat Auckland City 10-0. “Bayern has good players,” Riquelme said. “We’ll think about them after we play Benfica.” There are a lot of great teams in the tournament, like PSG and Real Madrid. And then there’s Messi, who plays for Inter Miami. “We respect all the teams,” Riquelme said. “But we know how football works. We wish Messi could play for us, but he’s a fan of Newell’s.”
The Club World Cup is a big deal. All the games are streaming live on the DAZN app. Riquelme and his team are focused on the tournament. They want to win, and they’re not worried about the other teams just yet. “We’ll take it one game at a time,” he said.
The Road to Victory
Boca Juniors has a tough road ahead. They need to beat Benfica, and then they’ll face Bayern. But Riquelme is feeling good about their chances. “We have a great team,” he said. “We just need to play well and see what happens.” The fans are excited, and they’re expecting a big win. Riquelme wants to make them happy, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Key Players
Di María is a key player for Benfica. He’s fast, and he can score goals. Riquelme knows that, and he’s planning to stop him. “We’ll work together as a team,” he said. “We’ll figure out a way to stop Di María and win the game.” The other teams in the tournament have great players too. Messi is one of the best, but he’s not playing for Boca Juniors. Riquelme wishes he could, but it’s not happening.
The Club World Cup is a big tournament. All the best teams are playing, and they all want to win. Riquelme and his team are ready for the challenge. They’re feeling good, and they’re expecting a big win. “We’ll do our best,” Riquelme said. “We’ll see what happens.”
