The Atlético phenomenon revolutionizes Tucumán: from the cabal of the players to the “annulment mufa” of the president and the fans

Disappointment. There is no other word to define what is happening right now in Tucumán for Atlético, leader of the Professional League after the fifteenth round. It is that the dream is big, very big in the city Dean, although there is still a long way to go. Obviously, Luca Pussini and his coaches are part of the phenomenon that was unleashed in the Garden of the Republic, either for his colorful game, his goals or for the safety in the background transmitted by those who enter the field. For all this, of course, it contains a fan who hopes to continue to be the protagonist, continue at the top of the championship and go far until, at the last appointment, he shouts that word that many want, something that would be an unprecedented event in the history of football in this province.

An idea of ​​what Atlético generates today in Tucumán is reflected in the sale of T-shirts, which are worth $ 12,000, and have started “flying” from sporting goods stores. In the squares the vendors do their job with flags and hats; and the members -insure from the club- increased with each passing day. Others, meanwhile, have decided to pay the membership fee ($ 1,000 per month) which allows them to purchase tickets at a 40% discount. That is why José Fierro, the fortress of the pointer where they enter 35,000 peoplehe explodes every time his team plays. There isn’t even a pin.

Not just that. As Tucuman’s team started to be a serious candidate, Northern Giant fans started looking for cabals of all kinds and They even try not to be fooled by strangers when they talk about the possibility of becoming champions. For example, on social networks, the phrase “anulo mufa” has begun to multiply for days when someone wishes “well” – like this, in quotation marks – to the group of “San Lucas”. So much so that even the president of the institution, Mario Leitohe did it as a joke by replying to a tweet to the info account @VarskySports, which through its sports channel highlighted the team’s statistics.

It is clear that when the Dean plays in the Monumentale, one of the biggest reasons for the players is the welcome of its people. It takes planning and commitment.. The “Somos Tucumán” Fan Commission, via Facebook, has been moving for some time to organize the party. Without going further, for the match against Central Barracksthat Atlético beat 4-0 with spectacular goals, the fans asked several days in advance borrowed fire extinguishers, with which they generated the “great white smoke” during the reception. If that’s not crazy …

“Atlético is passion and with identity and a sense of belonging we will do something great”, say the principals. That’s why every time the team plays some people wear it bay leaves for “natural and positive vibes”. But – be careful – because not only the fans have their stuff so that everything goes the right way. Gamers do too. From within the campus there is a cabal: Whenever the team goes out onto the pitch, it goes out the door of the Professional Soccer League.. It seems to work perfectly.

Thus, Tucuman fans conquered the province with blue and white. The reasons speak for themselves. In addition to being a leader in the local tournament, with 32 units, adds 43 in the annual ranking, which allows him today to be in the Copa Sudamericana area, something absolutely unthinkable months ago when he was fighting for relegation seats. Next Sunday, from 18:00, he will visit Boca in La Bombonera and will try to continue on this path that excites the fans, in this province and throughout the country.
