Boca Juniors play their future in Copa Libertadores tonight from 21:30. The 0-0 that San Pablo led last week gives them room for hope. But more peace of mind gives him the good performance he showed in his latest presentations, obviously not counting the stumbling against Unión and the slap Banfield gave him when he presented his weak alternative formation. It is that Sebastián Battaglia, with the owners on the field, proved to be a reliable team.
However, fans of blue and gold are not satisfied with this one. And it is for this reason that in the early hours of this Tuesday they tried to lend a hand that goes beyond the intangible that is the constant breath that usually falls from the stands of the Bombonera. It is that a group of fans has taken the trouble to change the night of the Corinthians campus, which is housed in the Hotel Madero.
At around 2:30 am this Tuesday, when the Timao players were trying to fall asleep, a group of people, many of whom were wearing the blue and gold Boca jersey, descended from around seven vehicles and around six motorbikes in Rosario Vera. Peñaloza and Olga Cossettini.
Night of fireworks in Puerto Madero, in front of the door of the hotel where the Corinthians rested.
Immediately after, an important arsenal of pyrotechnics was activated. According to the police report, in a complaint filed for “annoying noises”, the spectacle of noises and flashes of smoke that disturbed the quiet of the peaceful night of Puerto Madero began.
There were no arrests, as the people involved immediately fled. However, players led by Portuguese Vítor Pereira must have jumped out of bed with such a racket. It will be necessary to see how it will affect them in the face of tonight’s duel at the Bombonera. Maybe they pay for the lack of rest or maybe they are motivated to show that matches can only be won on the pitch.
A mixture of folklore and fanfare, such as the criminal act of throwing stones at buses, the decision to disturb rival players’ peace the night before is not the exclusive property of Argentine fans. It also happens in Brazil and in the other countries of the teams participating in the Copa Libertadores and the Sudamericana. An old practice that should be eradicated and severely punished, with economic sanctions, by Conmebol.
