This Sunday, Javier Mileyrecently inaugurated president of Argentina, was present in the elections of Boca Juniors. However, his appearance was not well received by some club members, who expressed discontent and booed him for his support for the former president. Mauricio Macrimember of the opposition ticket in the Argentine team elections.
Milei, who took office as president just a week ago, arrived at La Bombonera stadium protected by a raincoat, due to a storm that caused damage across the country and resulted in the deaths of 14 people. He made a point of greeting some of the fans present in the stadium’s main stand.
However, as soon as her presence was noticed, Milei faced hostility from some critics as she left the voting booth. They booed and criticized his declared support for the opposition ticket, which is in dispute with the situation, led by the club’s great idol, Juan Román Riquelme.

It is worth highlighting that Milei has a strong connection with Argentine football. The new president of Argentina, even before entering politics, was a goalkeeper for Chacarita Juniors. The same club that had, years later, the striker German Canocurrently in Fluminense of Fernando Diniz, in the cast. There is also a controversy about the economist having changed his favorite team due to a “disagreement” with one of the biggest clubs in the country.
Milei’s career under the goalposts was only in the youth teams of Chacarita Juniors, a club in the Chacarita region, in Buenos Aires, which currently plays in the second division of the national championship. Milei joined a group of teenage athletes when she was around 13 years old. “He threw himself at every ball. He was a madman under the goalposts. It could go right or wrong, but honestly, I don’t remember failing or losing a game because of it. When he played, he did well,” said Eduardo Perico Pérez, who was part of that team, to InfobaeArgentine news portal.
The trajectory lasted through the 1980s, but it was not fruitful for the young man from Palermo, an upscale neighborhood in the Argentine capital. However, since gaining more political attention, Javier Milei has commented on football, criticized Maradona and “abandoned” the Boca Juniors.
