It is impossible not to feel empathy for Boca's fans if one is these days in Miami. It is the one that has endowed a club World Cup that, except for them and what happens in the Hard Rock Stadium, goes unnoticed in Florida. There are barely posters that indicate a tournament that aims to stay in the US also in 2029, because there is no other country, right now, capable of bidding for a tournament that Latin American fans are building. Otherwise it would be a todious show of 'hot dogs' and NBA presentations difficult to understand.
Miami conquer flag
The 'flag' is one of the most impressive animation phenomena that exists, at least from the optics of a European. Similar to 'corteos', but with an unusual force. The 'Dale, bo' is spread until you can not take it out of your head. Hundreds of fans gathered in South Beachnear the center of Miami, to give breath to the Russo club in a match as important as it is difficult, against Bayern Munich. But after drawing against Benfica, even if at the expense of dilapidating a 2-0, it is enough.
“He was filled with people from Boca, but also with people from here, from the US, who go with mouth in the World Cup. In this tournament the best clubs in the world compete and Boca is one of them. POr so there is so much expectation. While an accessible group did not have, due to the such rivals, it is important to maintain the high expectation. Especially for the number of people who traveled from Argentina and anywhere in the world, “Christian Alonso, a journalist of the LATAM ESPN who follows the team in the tournament, explains to this media.
There are mythical fans, such as Benjamin, the boy who raffled his playstation to be able to follow Boca in the Libertadores. “First Boca, Boca, Mouth, Family, Argentina and the rest of the things come,” he said in a statement he went viral. The club chaired by Juan Román Riquelme had a gesture with the 'Pibe' by becoming the protagonist of his campaign to present the shirt for the Club World Cup. It is one of many souls that are part of a cabal that wants to take off the bad shadow of having lost the option of playing South American competitions this year after losing penalties against Peruvian Alianza Lima. For this, many amulets are needed like those that bring their followers.
Riquelme, idol in good and bad
And despite everything, Riquelme, who has brought back to Russo as if it were the return of a messiah. That in fact was, the last one that brought the Libertadores for Boca. “Juan Román Riquelme is perhaps the biggest idol the club has. He is very dear to the fans and, although the management in his charge was some shocksDoes not change the love that Boca's fan has for him. Literally since he arrived at the hotel he revolutionized. There are many people who are waiting for all the time to approach the entrance, “says ESPN Latam journalist.
The rage for Riquelme, idol and president is such, who on the FIFA agenda sneaked into an event different from everyone else: “Autograph signatures of the president of Boca”. But as Christian Alonso recalls, “He is always willing.” The peculiar event took place in an important announcement for which Hard Rock will build one of its mythical local in La Bombonera, The 'Xeneize' stadium. A field that they have managed to recreate, precisely, in the Hard Rock Stadium that acts as headquarters in Miami.
The other coast is River, who debuted with triumph against Urawa, “but his performance does not affect. He knows the Boca fan who must look inside. Especially since River has perhaps a slightly more accessible picture than the one who touched Boca. For the size of the rivals and for the situation also where each team is located.” Boca has failed this season in his attempt to play the Libertadores and, incidentally, the South American. River beat him the last 'superclassic' with a bit of Mastantuono. But the fact of competing against Benfica has changed mood.
“The expectation was also Miguel Ángel Russo's debut in his third cycle as a coach. His nearby present was not so bad in San Lorenzo, after the departure of Rosario Central and being a champion there. Not to mention what he achieved in Boca, who was the last coach who came out champion of the Libertadores. He is very dear. While it has passed difficult times, both personally (he suffered a prostate cancer in 2017) That was his last departure from Boca, There is a margin of illusion in the fan for this Club World Cup“, Analyzes one of the many journalists who are present in Miami, becoming the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
