Chapter 92: The Argentine National Derby (5)
In the 37th minute, River Plate's Aummada collided with Boca defender Patagoria when he dribbled the ball, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.
Striker Palacio was the first to rush forward and push River Plate midfielder Poncio, who was roaring at Batagoria and accusing him of faking a fall, to the ground, and shouted: "I swear in the name of God that Bata will never fake a fall!" It's you, these damn fat pigs who only play your filthy football, and don't have any of the beauty of Argentine football!! “
Palacio, with his pigtails, had had enough of the continuous aggression of the Riverplate defenders, and the hidden elbow a few minutes ago almost didn't make him breathe! What's even more infuriating is that the actions of the group of sinister villains in River Plate haven't even been discovered by the referee! Therefore, Palacio can be regarded as holding back a bad anger for a long time and has no way to vent, and it just so happened that at this moment Poncio accused one of the big brothers in his team, Patagoria, who fell to the ground, so he vented all the dissatisfaction in his heart.
As Boca's chosen replacement in the forward line after Tevez's departure, Palacio quickly established himself as a regular striker after joining Boca Juniors, scoring goals and attacking prowess to almost all of the South American titles, winning the Copa Libertadores three times with Boca in 2005, 2006 and 2008.
However, the complacent Palacio was not called up to the changing national team at this time, which made him dissatisfied and hold back his energy to prove himself to the old horse in this much-anticipated national derby. One can imagine how Palacio would feel in the face of a situation where the team was behind and he was firmly confined under this psychological effect.
As a result, the collision became the fuse for Palacio, and Palacio's impulsive behavior became the fuse for all the players to erupt.
The conflict swept the court in an instant, seeing that his teammates were at a loss, it was the Boca players who made the first move, and they were the first to arrive, where could the impatient Falcao stay calm, he immediately replied to Palacio fiercely, and a mouth full of trash words gushed out of Falcao's mouth, and the two abused each other on the top of their heads, and finally the angry Falcao put his head on Palacio, Palacio fell to the ground, and then the players of the two teams and other substitute players rushed to the field, and finally broke out into a group fight of more than 40 people.
The tricksters, the ruthless, and the persuaders were all mixed together, and Santiago rushed up immediately after a brief surprise to protect Palacio, who had become the target of the public, and constantly blocked the angry River Plate players who wanted to rush up.
But at this moment, where will his actions have any effect, in the confusion his left foot was kicked twice in a row, and the bone-chilling headache made Santiago wake up, this is the Monument Stadium! It's not Serie A anymore!
Santiago was not at all surprised when he came to his senses about the subconscious brawl that would come sooner or later, as the seeds of hatred between Boca and River Plate had already sprouted when he was playing for the youth team.
Towards the end of the game, Boca led 2-1 when River Plate headed a free-kick into the Boca box near the centre circle and cleared it with a header from the defenders. But just then, referee Bloon blew the whistle to stop the game, signaling the off-the-ball Boca player Sanchez to foul River Plate's Acosta in the box and award a penalty.
Despite the injustice, the Boca players held their noses and accepted the decision, but the excessive cheers of the River Plate players irritated Boca Juniors coach Pope, who shouted insults at the referee Bloin and eventually rushed inside to reason with the referee. The two players began to push and shove, and then the conflict intensified, and the players began to punch and kick each other, and the brawl ended up in a River Plate player and three Boca players who were injured and taken to the hospital, while a total of seven people from both sides were sent off with red cards, including Santhiago, who was born with a calf that was not afraid of tigers.
At this moment, although Santiago is much more mature than then, he is still a young man with strong blood.
Immediately, Saintie took two steps back and kicked a man in a River Plate jersey in front of him with a gasp! His anger was completely ignited, and he didn't care about observing strategies and tactics at the moment, and only an immediate counterattack after being attacked could make Saintie vent his emotions.
With the sudden deterioration of the situation on the field, almost in the next second, there were boos, cursing continued, all kinds of throws were angrily thrown into the stadium by River Plate fans, all kinds of fireworks were also thrown into the stadium, and even the sky was dyed with color for a while, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Even the Boca coach's away team bench was not spared, and the Boca fans on the other side immediately launched a counterattack regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, seeing that a full martial arts in the stands was about to be staged again in full view of everyone.
Fortunately, although the experienced Argentine police are not capable of chasing drug lords, they are very handy in dealing with this kind of thing, and they have arrested more than 60 fans with controlled knives before the game, and they quickly entered the stadium to separate the excited fans on both sides, and the law enforcement referee on the other side also quickly intervened in the push and shove of the players on both sides.
Palacio, Poncio, Falcao, these three players on both sides each ate a ruby god of war card and were immediately expelled from the game, and after getting up, Aoumada and San Tiago and other five players also ate a yellow god of war card before they scattered.
"Damn!" Saint-Tiago rubbed his left foot as he stumbled towards his place, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger. In his opinion, he is completely a victim, and all the retaliation is simply for self-defense! Why did you receive a Topaz God of War card!?
Looking at the rest of the players on both sides, except for a few who can still keep their senses, they are undoubtedly not like San Tiago.
The riot completely consumed all the remaining time of the first half, and when the players on both sides returned to their positions with anger, the referee team ended the first half directly after a short negotiation without giving any injury time, obviously the referee team wanted to use the halftime break to ease the emotions of the players on both sides.
