Chapter 546: A City in the Jungle

In addition to the tour leader and security staff, the bus is also staffed with an English-speaking narrator who explains the past, present and future of Argentine football to the visitors from the moment they get on the bus. Hong Tao is a pseudo-fan at best, his understanding of Argentine football is limited to those world-famous stars, and now listening to this commentator, he can understand that Argentine football is not so much a national league, but a league of Buenos Aires City.

There are a total of 78 officially registered professional football teams in the entire city of Buenos Aires, and to Hong Tao's surprise, in Buenos Aires City, where housing prices are so high, none of these 78 football teams share a home stadium with other teams, which means that there are at least 78 football stadiums here, what kind of concept is this!

In China, the city is full of golden armor! In Argentina, the city is full of football stadiums, no wonder people can win the World Cup and produce football superstars like Maradona and Messi, but we can't even get out of Asia! You can't blame the players for this at all, you can only blame XXXX! (X word self-brain supplement)

In addition to the many football teams, the quality of Buenos Aires' football teams is also particularly high, not only Boca Juniors, River Plate, the two well-known super clubs, but also Sarsfield, San Lorenzo, Independiente, Athletic and many other strong teams, just in the super professional league, the teams from Buenos Aires have reached 12, so even if Boca Juniors and River Plate have declined, Buenos Aires has never declined, and it is really happy to be a fan here, and there are home games to watch almost every week, And the champion will never be able to run out of the palm of these capital teams.

But it's not a good thing to get too close!

If the hottest derby in the world is not Spain, England or Germany, or Brazil, the match between Boca Juniors and River Plate is definitely worthy of this title. The reason for this is simple: Boca Juniors are part of the River Plate Club, which represents the wealthy population of Buenos Aires. Boca Juniors, on the other hand, is a people's team, at least it is different, and at worst it is class struggle.

As for how popular is the competition between them? In the words of Argentine football legend Maradona: Watching this kind of game is better than Giulia. Roberts is so much more thrilled to!

In Fernando's words, the players on the field are full of hard work, full of gunpowder, and red and yellow cards are flying all over the sky; The audience is crazy off the field, brawls are not new, you have to chase them to the street to continue fighting after the fight in the arena, and it is lucky that you don't die!

"I like this the most, let's fight, I'm sorry for my ticket money if I don't play lively, and I don't see blood!" Fat Zibu likes this feeling of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and he is not afraid of big things when he sees the excitement.

The bus of the spectator group did not stop outside the stadium, but drove directly into the passage of the stadium through the special passage. The occupants of the car can enter the club's office area through a small door after getting out of the car, which is full of Argentine military police, and security is definitely no problem.

Although it has not yet been officially made to the stands, Hong Tao has already felt the Argentine's enthusiasm for football, and now there is still half an hour before the game time, but the singing in the stadium has been connected, and there are still people in the stands setting off cold fireworks, almost half of the stadium is red.

After visiting the club's honor room and specialty store, Hong Tao's group of about 30 people followed the team leader from the staff passage directly to the third floor of the stands. When Hong Tao walked up the steps from the passage to the stands, his head just exposed, he was really stunned by the scene in front of him for a few seconds.

The home stadium of Boca Juniors is called the Boca Juniors Stadium, also known as the Bombonella Stadium. But the locals call it the "chocolate box". Because it is built long and square, like a box. The stadium is divided into three tiers of grandstands, which can accommodate more than 60,000 people, and the outer walls of the stadium and the inner stands are the same as the home jersey of Boca Juniors. It's blue on top and bottom, and yellow in the middle.

Hong Tao has also watched the ball in China, and he has also watched the ball when he was in Hamburg. When Beijing's Xiannongtan and Gongti were hot, they were also crowded with people and shouted loudly. Hamburg's Nordbank Arena is more professional and hot than Guoan's home stadium, but the Germans are all singing in unison, compared to the fanatical Argentines, it is not at all a sight, it is more like a powder keg, full of standing fans, not only singing, shouting, but also throwing all kinds of paper, setting off all kinds of fireworks, and I don't know how they got through the security check.

"Lao Hong, fortunately, there is this guide with us, if we come by ourselves, Bacheng will have to explain here, you see, there is a fight over there again!" Fat Zibu is the same as Hong Tao, but also like Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden, walking around, from the stands to the start of the game in this short period of more than 10 minutes, he has seen 3 brawls, not only the home team fans and the away team fans are prone to conflict, the home team fans themselves are not so peaceful, 2 of the 3 brawls are their own people and their own people fight.

Let's not go into the process of the game, anyway, the last thing is that the away team River Plate won 3:1, which can be regarded as a hornet's nest, and even the security personnel of the spectator group did not dare to go down the passage easily, so they could only wait in the stands for the spectators on the two floors below to be gone, and then leave secretly.

A few European tourists in the viewing group were more interesting, they had just bought the Boca Juniors home jersey in the Boca club store, which was originally in a plastic bag, and now when they saw the Boca fans around the stands, they quickly took out the jerseys, and they didn't even bother to cut off the signage, and put it on their bodies.

In the end, Hong Tao and his party escaped from the stands into the bus 30 minutes after the end of the game, and returned to the hotel safely. After returning to the room, Hong Tao felt that his underwear was soaked, this Nima was not watching the ball at all, isn't this a play with life! Next time, you must remember it for a long time, and you can't relax your vigilance when you go to Brazil, and you can't go to watch the game in Brazil again, even if you give away the tickets to the rostrum for nothing, don't listen to what Fernando said, it is estimated that Brazil is no better than Argentine fans!

In the early morning of the next day, Hong Tao and the three of them finally stepped on the plane to Manaus, the Amazon River! We're finally here!

The name Amazon River is not unfamiliar to us, it is also one of the world's top inland rivers, although the length is a little shorter than the Nile, ranking second, but from the basin area, water flow comprehensive data, the Amazon River is worthy of the name of the world's largest river.

How big can it be? Let's use the most familiar Yangtze River to make a comparison. In terms of data, the area of the Amazon River basin in the rainy season can reach more than 7 million square kilometers, and the basin area of the Yangtze River is 1.8 million square kilometers; In terms of water flow, the average runoff of the Amazon River is more than 690 billion cubic meters, and the Yangtze River is only one-tenth of it.

If these data are not enough to give you a definite impression, then there is a unique feature of the Amazon River, which is the only river on Earth that is affected by the gravitational pull of the Moon, and it is like the sea, with high and low tides every day, and not because of the inflow of seawater, but because of the large area of water.

In the face of the Amazon River basin, which is equivalent to more than half of China, Hong Tao is also very difficult, where to go to catch fish in such a large place? Do you want to go to a tributary of the Amazon or to the main channel? These are all problems that need to be solved by him.

Since Hong Tao was invited by the fat cloth and the sturgeon, he began to pay attention to collecting all the information about the Amazon River, although there are many books and documentaries about the Amazon River, but there are few information related to fishing, and even if there is, there are no details about where to go and how to go, all of which are about how to fish, how to fish, and what to fish, which is basically chicken ribs for Hong Tao, and there is no specific help.

Until the day before departure, Hong Tao was still collecting these relevant information, and even used Erin's connections to finally inquire about a general route from a hunting guide company in the United States. The starting point of this route is Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas.

The plane that took off from Buenos Aires to Manaus is a Brazilian Skymark Airbus 330 wide-body passenger plane, it is not a direct flight to Manaus, but to Sao Paulo to transfer to a 320, in the flight to the destination, such a toss, the original 4-hour flight became 10 hours, when arriving at Manaus's Eduardo Gomez Airport, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and due to the weather, Hong Tao's plan to have a bird's-eye view of the tropical rainforest on the plane was also lost, and he couldn't see anything from the plane. It's all foggy down there, even when the plane lowers altitude and lands.

After completing the customs procedures, Fernando took Hong Tao and the three of them to the hall on the first floor, which is like a domestic train waiting room, where people come and go, and in addition to normal passengers, there are people everywhere holding small signs to solicit customers, and on both sides of the hall, there are all kinds of travel agency offices, office on the spot!

Seeing someone coming out of the entry channel, these people immediately hugged up with small signs, repeating the benefits and routes of their travel agency repeatedly in half-baked English, the only thing better than the childcare of those soliciting customers at domestic train stations is that they will not make physical contact, nor will they reach out to pull you, all with a mouth.

"Are these travel agencies reliable?" Hong Tao originally planned to go to Manaus to find a travel agency with fishing business, but he didn't expect that thousands of miles away, he could encounter a similar situation as in China, out of habitual thinking, he instinctively didn't believe in these people, let alone their travel agency.
