What is the Boca Spirit?

There may be a thousand sayings in the hearts of a thousand Boca people, but for Santhiago, his memory of Boca and his understanding of Boca are far beyond what everyone thinks. This extraordinary experience made him realize this club in South America, and it was this club that gave him the opportunity to realize his dream and go to world football.

Santiago clearly remembers a sentence in Maradona's autobiography that had a profound impact on him: If you clearly know that you come from the bottom, and clearly know that everything you have done in the past, present and future is nothing more than struggle, then it is very interesting to look back on the road you have walked.

If reflecting on poverty is the salvation of the rich people's souls, then longing for wealth is the spiritual luxury of the poor, and this is the spirit that Boca has inherited to this day. In 1982, Boca's finances were in a crisis, and Maradona landed in Barcelona in exchange for $5.9 million for Boca. On the day he left, the whole candy box was whimpering, and he said in tears that one day I would come back, and that would be 15 years. On October 25, 1997, when Maradona led Boca to a 2-1 win over old rivals River Plate for his final performance, Riquelme came on as a substitute.

This is definitely the best kind of spiritual inheritance in people's hearts.

And now, in this small locker room, Santhiago's angry roar has caused all the Boca players to froze, and Santi has not even glanced at Riquelme during the whole process, and he has felt deeply dissatisfied with Riquelme, who has always been like an older brother, for the first time. As the uncrowned king of the Boca team today, this is not the style that a Boca leader should have!

There are two winning tricks on the football field, one is called spirit, the other is called capital, the so-called spirit, in short, is a team to win strongly, and capital is self-explanatory, star-studded, superior strength, just like Real Madrid, Manchester United and other super giants, both spirit and capital. As for Boca, it is a well-deserved king in South America, with a strong squad that is coveted by all South American clubs, both the squad and the spirit of heritage are the talk of the town.

However, compared with the European giants, Boca is much worse, but in one year, the spirit of Boca amazed everyone. Boca spirit to Milan capital, this is the Goldbach conjecture that must be analyzed in the Toyota Cup, in terms of strength, AC Milan is far stronger than Boca Juniors, and the strong financial support has created an enviable star lineup, from Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Costa to Kaka, any person who comes out may be worth more than Boca, but such a luxury division lost in the case of being unanimously favored, lost decently, and missed a penalty in the penalty shootout 3 people, which is a complete mental failure!

On the other hand, Boca, talented players have been sold one after another, but Boca's spirit is intact, in this squad we don't see Maradona, Batistuta, we can't even find Palermo, Riquelme, but even so they can still beat the invincible Rossoneri! All this is because Tevez runs tirelessly, Shelotto's face is full of unconvincing after he gets off the field, and Abodan Sheli's domineering goalkeeper is the spirit of Boca!

At this moment, facing the club's sworn enemy, Boca under the leadership of Riquelme, Santhiago does not feel the Boca spirit that he was once proud of! He glared at each player, and when he saw that the players were still silent, he slammed the door and walked away to enter the tunnel alone.

"Hey!!" Santhiago slammed his fist into the wall of the aisle, and at that moment, a noise from the pitch caught his eye, and it was this noise that kept many media outlets from noticing Santi, who walked out of the locker room early.

"Oh God! What we saw! A pig! A huge, piggy-shaped inflatable balloon in the colors of Boca's jersey floated slowly from the River Plate fan stands!! “

"Audience friends, during the halftime period, River Plate fans suddenly released an inflatable pig, the appearance of the pig is full of cuteness, the body is covered with blue and yellow, this is the main color of the Boca jersey, River Plate fans have the intention to show it. The inflatable pig slowly rose over the River Plate Memorial Stadium, and the eyes of fans on both sides were also attracted to it! “

When the balloon pig completely stabilized its giant body, the Boca fans who came to their senses erupted in the wildest insults, and they desperately rushed towards the stands of their sworn enemies, trying to pop the extremely insulting balloon with all the sharp objects in their hands. But how could the River Plate guys get their way, and a fierce exchange broke out at the moment of contact, forcing the riot police to immediately use tear gas to initially de-escalate the situation.

However, the upcoming second half could only be pushed back because of this sudden incident.

While many media outlets were busy exclaiming, lamenting and filming this scene, they didn't notice that more and more Boca players were already standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel and witnessing this moment of shame. When the successive Boca players were attracted by the noise and noise, their eyes were completely drawn by the balloon pig with a mocking smile in it.

Anger rose and burned in everyone's hearts, and even the most calm vice-captain Irava and the most heartfelt Meng Song were all spewing fire in their eyes, and they could hardly help but rush forward.

"Santi, can you tell us how you're feeling right now? Firmly pressed by River Plate in this derby, he was also "

"Romy, can you tell us what you think of the brawl in the first half? Many River Plate players said that the referee's decision was unfair and biased."

The reporters who turned around finally found this group of Boca generals whose emotions were already on the verge of going berserk, and they did not care about the expressions of the strong men, and quickly poured over, and each question was very targeted, as if they were deliberately provoking the players.

Fortunately, at some point, coach Ischia appeared behind the players again, and he reprimanded the players back into the locker room with a roar, avoiding the referment of the media, and only his appearance at this moment can make this group of arrogant soldiers dare not disobey.

"What? Do you still want to go up and fight? What a bunch of idiots! Have you figured out how to play in the second half? Let that group of riverbed guys go in one more? “

Back in the locker room, Ischea closed the door, turned around and scolded fiercely, he also saw the Boca pig, it was a shame for all Boca people, whether it would appear in the second half or not, this extremely mocking balloon pig would become a landmark scene in the history of the national derby, and it would appear in people's discussions at any time! And if you lose the game in this situation, then Boca will always be with this balloon pig!

Both Ischea and his generals knew this, and in the face of the manager's angry shouting, Santhiago did not say a word, and he stared coldly at everyone with great disappointment in his heart. For the real Boca kids, Boca Juniors, a hundred victories are not worth the grandeur of a derby, and now Boca seems to have lost its soul! It has become a retirement place for veterans returning from Europe, and a pedal for geniuses to land in Europe!

"Nope! We're not going to lose! Boca can't lose! The people of Boca are not going to lose! “

Just when Santhiago's heart was full of sorrow, and he was lamenting that his choice to return to Boca was extremely wrong, Riquelme suddenly stood up, walked to the middle of the dressing room, and looked around at the players. For the first time, the maestro who is among the top active players in the country in terms of strength and prestige showed a fierce expression in front of everyone, and he swung his fists fiercely, waving them again and again in the air, surprisingly encouraging the players.

"No one can beat Boca, let alone those ridiculous millionaires! They're just a bunch of dolls made of gold, and we're the real Boca! We need to win and show them who is the real ruler! Boca, hooray!! “

The national derby between Boca and River Plate has always represented the masses versus the bourgeoisie, both of which were originally built on the docks, and in 1901 the workers of the port of Boca were the first to build the river bed, and it was not until four years later that nearby Boca was proclaimed. However, the two clubs, both in the Boca district, soon came to a turning point in their fortunes, as River Plate moved to the more affluent northern suburbs of Núñez.

As the professionalization of Argentine football began, River Plate threw money at it, and the money-sladen transfer earned them the nickname of millionaire, which has followed them ever since. They had the support of the middle class in the new region, a group of middle-class disdains who wore shabby uniforms every week, sweaty workers became fans of the same identity as themselves, the inevitable class division turned the two teams against each other, and the workers turned to Boca to this day!

It is precisely for this reason that Boca, which is crushed by River Plate in China, is a well-deserved hegemon in the continental arena, and they also proudly claim that they are the real Boca people!

The impassioned Riquelme was no longer an elegant artist, he was transformed into a hot-blooded warrior, just right, and the well-timed roar was unanimously echoed by the players, who stood up and shouted in unison: "No one can beat Boca!" Long live Boca! ”

The locker room covered with blood stunned Saintie, but in the face of Riquelme's outstretched arm, he laughed from the bottom of his heart, this is Boca!

Stepping forward to clench his fists with Riquelme, looking at his teammates around him, Sainti couldn't help but shout: "Let's conquer the Monumental Stadium!! ”
