Avellaneda’s classic: the biggest hypothesis of conflict for Independiente-Racing does not include bars

The time inside Independent is so rarefied that the main concern of the Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sport (Aprevide) It’s not set in the Brava Bar factions of Independiente, but in the hostile reaction that the general public could have in the event of a previous result racing not be a win.

“The bar doesn’t worry us, that aspect is controlled. There is no innovation in that direction,” they explained clarion sources from the Buenos Aires Security portfolio who attended the previous meeting between the club, the head of the operation, provincial officials and, on this occasion, members of the district judicial system, both the Prosecutor’s Office and the competent court.

What concerns? The reaction of the plate fans and the general public in the event that Independiente does not stay with the match they will play against Racing. “We believe the possibility of rioting is more likely after the game than before it kicks off. That’s why we ask you to change the schedule, so that it starts and ends during the day. The atmosphere is so heated that even a draw could be the trigger for riots”, calculate the same sources.

Last week, when Independiente still had a president and a pre-agreement with a new coach that was diluted together with the resignation of Fabiano Domanthe campus received a printed message on a parade: “Win or Die”. That and other phrases replicated in the virtuality of social networks, triggered the first of the alarms and Aprevide asked for a time change. The classic ran from 7pm to 4.30pm, to avoid the sunset.

Claiming Doman’s resignation and the reflection of the fans summoned to the Independiente headquarters “everyone leaves”was the sample button to pose the classic’s operative.

“That, what happened (in July last year) against Moyano (when the fans demonstrated at the venue) or when they scolded him on the pitch, he doesn’t have the bar behind him. He is the common fan. The sensibility of the masses in a moment like that of Independiente is modified by a result”, explained from La Plata.

The analysis is verifiable: Last year – and after a defeat against Platense – the members summoned the headquarters to ask for the elections. There were rubber bullets, gas and shots that day, but no confrontation with the brave bar.
