The Candy Box Stadium, a square-shaped box stadium that resembles candy and chocolates, is one of the most famous devil's stadiums in the world, and has witnessed the rise and fall of Argentine giants Boca Juniors over the decades.
Because its shape is like the English letter D, it has a very good sound gathering effect, and it is like entering a sea of enthusiasm when you are in it...... But that was only for his friends, and for his enemies, it was just breathless, and the sticky hot air clinged to his body, seemingly sticking to every pore on his body, and before he could even start running, he was already sweating profusely.
It's almost a real terrifying pressure, and even seasoned veterans find it difficult to keep their composure.
As Rafael stood on the grass of this famous stadium and began to warm up, he felt as if the lawn was shaking under his feet, and for a moment, Raphael really thought it was an earthquake.
As far as the eye can see, at this moment, the candy box that can accommodate 49,000 people is full, and of course, no one will sit down! It turned into a sea of blue and yellow, and the 2,500-seat River Plate fans were crammed into a small area, completely invisible.
Raphael soon found a "threatening letter" of his own in the stands, which ...... If he guessed correctly.
On the canvas, a thin boy with blond hair and a pale face kneels on the ground, a pair of broken chicken wings behind his back......
Slogan: "Surrender or die!"
Raphael was not at all intimidated, and despite the domineering slogan, the painting was ...... It's so joyful.
Soul painters.
He himself re-annotated the giant: it is now part of the KFC luxury package......
Of course, Derby's stern sรน left him expressionless, but his blood was boiling, surrendering?
Soon, the provocative canvas was out of sight.
The Boca fans sang in unison, accompanied by the neat jumping, the whole stadium seemed to be experiencing an earthquake, they threw the white ribbon in their hands towards the stadium, and the stands were immediately shrouded in this silky snowflake net, and when they set off the fireworks, the players on the court only felt that their ears were going to be deaf, and their eyes were not far from blindness.
The momentum here is even more terrifying than what the Monument Stadium created at the beginning!
When Lamela came over to do a tandem stretch with him, Raphael could feel his hands tremble slightly and his body stiffened.
It wasn't Lamela's first derby at the candy box, but it was still a scary experience for him every time he came here.
Raphael clasped his hand and transferred his power to him.
Lamela glanced at him, the young man's always calm expression calmed his mind a lot, the other party was two years younger than him, how could he be compared!
At this time, the commentaries of all parties were also in place, and on Argentine public television, it was Carol and the famous commentator Roques who commented on the game.
Carol, as a qualified cloud blower, has successfully won the love of the majority of River Plate fans, which has made his status on TV station also rise.
At the moment he was very excited: "Boca fans have created a terrifying presence at home, but I believe that River Plate will definitely play their strength, the football king Maradona also once mocked the angel Rafael to be scared to pee his pants when he stepped into this stadium, obviously not, Rafael looks very calm, he is amazing, he has just passed his 17th birthday!"
As a more objective commentator, Roques doesn't like his partner, but the opponent is biased towards River Plate, and of course he has to cheer for Boca: "When the game starts, every qiฤ disguise will disappear." No team can come out of the Candy Box stadium, let alone River Plate!This game was also the last super derby in Palermo and I wish him all the best. Okay, let's take a look at the starting line-ups announced by both sides......"
Today's Boca selection lineup 442 is much more complete than the team Rafael has seen.
The injury-stricken Riquelme was still in the starting line-up, with Palermo and Moncher still the two strikers, Munzon in the back line-up, Munzon in goalkeeper Luchetti, and Garcia on the bench, who had lost three times in the derby.
The biggest changes should be in the midfield, with the other three being Somosa at the back, Korrazzo at right midfield, and Chavez at left midfield.
Another change in Boca is the head coach. Borgi was sacked by Boca's board of directors after losing the derby last year, and former Banfield coach Giulio Falcioni took over, and this season Boca has 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, ranking in the middle of the table, and this derby is still a big test for him.
River Plate's lineup selection is also offensive, which is Kappa's fixed attacking formation since Rafael confirmed his free agent position in the frontcourt.
In the opening position, he will be in the front line with Pavoni, who has returned from injury. Lamela is in the same position as his shirt number, playing as the central midfielder, Almeida, Acevedo and Pereira defend the midfield, and the back line is the main force, Maidana, Ferrero, Ferrari and Roman, and the goalkeeper is the thunderous Carrizo.
Speaking of which, River Plate had been in trouble since the start of this game, and the consequences of the two-front battle were frequent injuries. Maidana had been injured since the Cup, and Ferrero was recently hospitalized with gastroenteritis, and the two were able to catch up with the game, and all River Plate fans were relieved.
After all, football is an eleven-man sport.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon local time in Argentina, in the huge momentum of Boca fans, referee Lusto blew an almost drowned whistle, and the game officially began!
From the very beginning, the game was full of gunpowder, Rafael stepped forward to steal at the beginning, and was shoveled to the ground before he could turn around, but the referee didn't look at him, chased the ball and ran, Rafael was stunned for a moment, and he rolled over and climbed up.
Every time a River Plate player gets the ball, the boos around them can't wait to condense into a dagger, stabbing them into a thousand holes.
Also post-90s, Pereira and Lamela were clearly not as good as Rafael, and River Plate's attack ended in midfield several times due to their mistakes.
Boca showed no mercy on his feet, River Plate was not polite, and the players on both sides began to disrupt the attack with successive tackles, and the referee Lusto turned a blind eye to it all, without even a verbal warning.
This made Capa, who was originally angry on the sidelines, feel a little reassured, he is not afraid of a harsh punishment, he is afraid of being unfair.
It seems that River Plate's pre-match pressure still made the referee suspicious.
But Kappa was relieved too soon.
River Plate's best chance to open the game came in the 12th minute.
As Lamela was defeated in the confrontation with Riquelme, he had to slow down the tempo of his attack and squeeze the attacking end back into his own half, which allowed Boca to press further.
"Lamela is still too immature compared to Roman, he has a hard time snatching the ball back from the opponent's feet, but he loses the ball very lightly, and retreating can only be a temporary option. โ
"That's right! River Plate's midfielders are still young and inexperienced, and the atmosphere of candy box horror has stifled their performance. โ
The frenzied Boca fans in the stands clearly saw this, and cheered even harder for the home team.
At this time, the candy box is really an active volcano that never stops, and if a plane flies over at this time, it may be sprayed down by this hot magma.
Lamela was nervous as much as he could, but he didn't let it down, and Boca's pressing could also create holes in their backline...... Only, as long as they can take the opportunity to pass the ball!
Because Ferrari didn't plug in, Rafael occupied the left rib himself, while Pavoni was on the right, and neither of them retreated.
They reined in their fangs but didn't let Boca lower their guard against them, and Boca adopted a man-to-man approach that also left them unusually empty in the middle.
Therefore, when River Plate regained the ball again and sent the ball across the halfway line, Somosa, who had contempt for Lamela, did not hesitate to choose to go directly to press the opponent to return the ball and create opportunities for the front.
Riquelme, who was largely undefensive, got stuck in the path of the opponent's return pass.
Lamela didn't make a mistake this time, but passed the ball to Pereira, who suddenly cut in diagonally from behind.
The cooperation between the two made Somosa stunned for a while.
He turned around and tried to snatch the ball from Pereira's feet with his teammates, but all Pereira wanted was a passing route!
His through ball went past the Boca defender who came up to intercept.
Boca fans watched in horror as the ball slipped like a scalpel between Insaurard and Caruzo and into the void.
It's going to be a one-shot ball!
Rafael and Pavoni waited for an opportunity, because the counterattack came so suddenly, and the players who defended them close to them only thought that two cheetahs had suddenly started to prey.
Pavoni was closer to the ball because it was inserted to the right of the penalty zone. But by this time the two centre-backs had followed, and Chavez, who was marking him, was also in pursuit, and he almost poked the ball out on his toes before tripping to the ground.
But it's not a shot, it's a pass!
The ball shifted laterally in the penalty area, and Rafael then rushed to the point of raising his feet and slotted home!
It seems that it only takes a moment for the Candy Box Stadium to go from noise to silence!!
Heaven to Hell!
Rafael swung his fist hard, turned to Pavoni for a hug, and the taste of scoring a goal on the pitch of the arch-rival was wonderful! But soon he heard a few short whistles, which made his boiling blood quickly cool, and he looked back in surprise, only to see that the referee's arm was not pointing to the center circle, but to the Boca goal!
"What the hell is this?!!! goal is invalid?!!" Carol's ecstasy stuck in his throat as he slammed the table and jumped up from his chair!
Rocquis was shocked: "This is ...... The referee decided that Rafael was offside when Pavoni passed the ball. But the linesman did not raise the flag. He tactfully expressed his inner thoughts, he didn't think the goal was offside.
Through the replay, he validated his opinion.
When Pavoni passed the ball with his left foot, centre-back Caruzo tackled from behind his right side, and Rafael was still half a body behind Caruzo until Pavoni played the ball and Rafael picked up the ball again, instantly past the two and fired the ball into the net.
This shouldn't be offside!
Rafael couldn't keep his composure at the River Plate player's shock, and he surrounded the referee with his teammates!
But the Boca fans in the stands didn't care, they only knew that they had gone from hell and returned to heaven! They gave the referee the warmest applause and thanked him for his "fiery eyes"!
