it Is difficult, probably impossible, to find a group of friends in Argentina, oblivious to the charged (taunt). As an (implicit in the passport, each person gets to its nickname: el Flaco, the Narigón, the Rabbit, the Monkey, or the Flea. And the banter fraternal to the joke between strangers, to finish by hassling the opponents. Without bad intention, even when the scenario is the Santiago Bernabeu and the protagonists are two of the highest representatives of the clubs of River Plate and Boca Juniors in Madrid. “I have the t-shirt of Ponzio, the one that always goes back to” rivals Fabio Vines, a spokesman for the branch of a River in Madrid, of 150 members, in reference to the captain of the club, the band, which has benefited from the delay of the duel back and he was able to overcome a muscle injury. “And I of Tevez, do you remember the chicken dance?”, answer Leonardo Polzello, de la Peña Boca Juniors Madrid (100 people). A memory acid for the love of a River: in the superclásico in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores 2004, Tevez celebrated his goal by waving your arms close to the body in the Monumental.
The missile, in way of derision, put a grace to the conversation. Vines and Polzello are known, respected, above all yearn for a superclásico in tranquility. “The only thing we ask is a game in peace, that the people coming from outside have to know that Madrid is our city and that we have to take care of her,” said the spokesman of the River. “This is a dream that I don’t want to wake up, but the end has to be a feast of football. A feast for all”, adds the peñista of Mouth.
The frustrated end in the Monumental has left a dent in the hobbies River and Boca in Madrid. “The decor here is very cute, the Santiago Bernabéu stadium is spectacular, but we would have liked to play this game in our house, in the Monumental,” says Vines. And the fans of Boca, in principle, benefit play by the back away from the stadium of their eternal rival, and with the presence of both hobbies, nor does illusion the superclásico in Chamartín. “What Barcelona would like to win a final at the Madrid in the Bernabéu, not?” questions the spokesman of the Mouth; “well, to us it’s the same thing. We wanted to Grandbetting win in the court of them.”
we Want to reserve Colón and Cibeles”, says the peñista of Mouth
A sad afternoon from Buenos Aires to Madrid. “We had booked a venue for 400 people, close to the Bernabeu. We had everything arranged with the screens and the party favors. I was at the gate controlling the input of the people. We understood nothing of what was going on at the Monumental, we could not believe that not to play,” says Vines. “We were 600, the disappointment of the people was amazing, didn’t want to leave the place we had booked. A few misfits that stole the end”, intervenes Polzello. “Yes, it is true. A few misfits on the street and a few inept in the control. It can’t be that that area was released, it seems that they wanted the match to be abandoned”, he shoots Vines.
The Bernabeu is cute, but it was better our house,” says the representative of the branch of a River
In Madrid, do not want trouble. Today the representatives of the rocks of River and Boca will meet with the organization’s security. “They want to know how we are going to move, what we have planned for the days leading up to and for the party. For now, the only thing we know is that we touch the area north of the stadium and the city, and to them the south”, explains the representative of the branch of a River. “It also speaks of a Fan Zone, but we have not yet been confirmed anything,” three of a kind Polzello; “I guess that will tell us everything today, in the same way that the place to celebrate. We ask that we can book the Plaza Colón and Cibeles, but I don’t know what it is that they want to the River. Maybe it will be on Neptune”.
New city, new problem. In Buenos Aires there is no doubt, the winner, celebrates on the Obelisk. But, at least for a day, gone are the nights celebrating the triumphs of their teams. “I moved to Spain in 2004. At the beginning, many times I had no how to watch the matches. I called my mom to tell me what was going on. It was very difficult for me to live without River. Then, through internet groups, I started to connect with people, and we set up the subsidiary. Today, we are the most important, we have a great relationship with the club, but not with the Bars. We are people that give everything to the club without asking for anything in return,” says Vines. To the rock-of-Mouth in Madrid, it happens something similar. “Sometimes with the Bars you have to relate, but we are a group of friends, a family. Not lucramos with nothing. Everything is for love, if we pay from our pockets the drums and the umbrella”, complete the peñista of Mouth.
Today, they passed by the organization of amateur professionalism. “We are not ringing the phone. Between the heads of the subsidiary, we split the tasks. One is in charge of the management, another of the merchandising, I of the press. And so we are,” says the fan club of the band. “People are very nervous, they call us all the time, they want to know how to get your tickets. We are without sleep, but it will be worth it. We have a final here. There to celebrate,” says Polzello.
“Since I moved to Madrid, I have celebrated many titles”, celebrated Vines. “And also a decrease”, it closes, with banter Polzello. Could not miss the teasing, the charged for the argentines.
