"The greatest is River Plate, the strongest champion in history, the brightest of the glorious lights, shining yesterday and still shining in my memories...... The greatest is still River Plate, and he will be even greater tomorrow, because of the game, because of the joy, because of the pride, a bright red through the chest! The flag of the monument is fluttering, and seeing the River Plate team is joyful approaching, every day and every hour, the River Plate team I love you more, just as almost all of Argentina loves you... “

The moment you step off the club bus in front of the countless flashing lights, the sound of majestic singing resounds from all directions, surging towards Santiago in a suffocating atmosphere. At a glance, the entire Monument Stadium was already crowded with people, and there was no edge in sight of the black pressure. Countless fans who were going through security checks and waiting to enter the stadium were as excited as if they had discovered a new continent when they saw the bus full of Boca players.

The crowd continued to pour in, and the Boca players immediately fled into the Monumental Stadium under the escort of riot police, and it was not until they entered the visiting dressing room that the players breathed a sigh of relief.

In Argentina, the hottest stadium is the candy box, while the most solemn stadium is the Monumental stadium. As the home of River Plate and the national team, the Monumental Stadium is second to none, with other sports facilities for young players, as well as theatres, museums, basketball courts, badminton courts, and even dressing rooms.

However, for the Boca players, all this not only does not make them jealous in the slightest, but on the contrary, it motivates the players even more.

The dressing room before the game was quiet, the players who had already prepared for the game did not joke with each other, and there was no superfluous conversation, most of them waited quietly for the big game to come. This is a more important match than the Copa Libertadores final, and the once-a-season meeting will almost determine the direction of public opinion in the Liga for the whole season, and it is definitely a battle between winners and losers.

Boca coach Ischaia thought twice about this game and still put out one of Boca's best formations now, 4-2-3-1, with full midfield depth to free up Riquelme, with his ability and Santhiago's ability, there should be no problem in attacking firepower.

At the same time, this formation is the best way to deal with the group of madmen on River Plate by any means.

The same team that is good at pressing people and attacking frantically, River Plate is better than Boca in some sense. As a mad coach in world football, Bielsa's technical and tactical style has always been unique, with sharp, fast, high-pressure attacks to break opponents, a tactic that has deeply influenced his disciples, including current River Plate coach Simeone.

The iron-blooded young manager is no good thing, and River Plate's players tend to be exuberant under his moves, and River Plate is one of the few clubs that can compete with Boca in the opening attack, and now at the Monumental Stadium, Boca is not in a good situation.

Sure enough, when the players rushed out and walked into the Monument Stadium, the circular stadium multiplied the volume of cheers, and the flags that covered the sky and the brilliant fireworks, and the cheers that broke through the sky completely pulled the Monument Stadium with a sense of history and sacredness into the world of football. Led by the home commentators, the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis came from all directions, and with the appearance of the River Plate players, every name of the on-site commentators would trigger the fans in the stands to burst into the sky, and their bodies almost made the earthquake tremble.

Such a huge momentum is enough to make every player who comes here feel worried!

"Not bad!"

However, when the players were about to disperse the game, Riquelme smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth faintly showed disdain, seeing this situation, Saint-Tiago also understood this situation, smiled and turned his head and ran straight to his position.

What you have to do today is to conquer! Santiago wants to use his heavy fists to tell all the people of River Plate that Lao Tzu is back!

"Beep~Beep!" Then the referee's whistle sounded, and the five-colored ribbons flew all over the sky, and the game began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 10th round of the Argentine Primera A, 08-09 Spring Split, which will be broadcast live by Buenos Aires Sports Channel. Now that the game has officially begun, River Plate's players immediately scattered and infiltrated the Boca half after the opening, and now under the leadership of young coach Simeone, River Plate has become a team with fierce attack, pressing in place, and attacking quickly! ”

"Once, fast delivery, passing! Pretty! Can it go any further? Oh, it's dangerous!! Just one minute and 30 seconds into the opening period, River Plate had a shot on goal!! It seems that this national derby Simeone is inevitable! ”

"Diego? Simeone, a national team player in the mid-90s who retired from Atlético and became coach, came to La Plata in '06 and led the young Estudiantes team to win the spring league title that year. Then in the face of the olive branch thrown by the River Plate team, he naturally took it without thinking. But Simeone seems to have forgotten that the capital team is like a sea, and even famous giants such as Dias and Gallego can't finish well, let alone him, a young man with only one year of coaching experience at the time. ”

"The autumn league in the first half of this year was quite sweet for Simeone and River Plate' "newlyweds", and despite the team's exit in the Copa Libertadores, they still managed to reach the top of the league against old rivals Boca. Unfortunately, his feud with the team's banner Ortega quickly dismantled the harmony in the dressing room.

Although Simeone handed over the captain's armband to "Little Donkey" at the beginning of his tenure and claimed that the latter's position was unreplaceable, Ortega also ushered in another spring in his career with outstanding performances. However, Ortega's life is becoming more and more disorderly, and the invitation of Qatar and Saudi Arabia teams with an annual salary of 2 million US dollars has emboldened the veteran!

The serious interview between the top brass of River Plate and Ortega, although it stopped the Jinyuan offensive in West Asia, failed to save the indulgence of the "little donkey". Soon after the start of the spring league, he was even more drunk and missed the team's training, and Simeone, who was about to completely change the team's blood, took this opportunity to exclude the "little donkey" from the team. The two went from being close friends to breaking up, and it was only seven months before and after! ”

Now, with Simeone's River Plate record declining, Ortega is making a fuss again, which must be a headache for Simeone, for the young manager, the success of Estudiantes in La Plata and last season's league title will not be enough to keep him on the Diaoyutai! If he wants to secure his position, he will have to pick up more chips, and the national derby is the most popular among fans!! ”
