On this November 7th there will be no middle ground. Is it glory or… xeneizes tears and joy of many others, beyond Fluminense. It is the Seventh so dreamed of by the people of Boca or the frustration that will be celebrated by Independent (being alone at the top of the podium)River and more who expect a setback, because it is normal for the entire football world to play this game for 90 or 120′.
The popular movement in Rio de Janeiro is a reflection of the expectation and the need to win the Libertadores after 16 years and two losses, one against Corinthians in San Pablo (2012) and another in Madrid with River (2018), which left its mark. The Seventh would be a milestone because Boca would no longer be the only one with the most finals playedbut the most champion against Independiente, which has not been participating in this competition since it won it for the last time in Bochini’s time.
It would also be a milestone for a key man, even though he did not take the field. There is something that makes it so special, Riquelme has that inexplicable aura that made this Boca get to where it did thanks to penalties, although being better than its rivals (National, Racing, Palmeiras). He achieved everything with the 10 and now he is the vice that manages everything.
The debut in April was far away, with A team that played nothing, draw in Venezuela and Mariano Herrón on the bench replacing Ibarra. Also Almirón’s debut: second group match, epic comeback vs. Pereira with a goal at 99′. It was impossible to ensure that they would qualify for the round of 16…
A milestone for any visitor is, furthermore, celebrate at the Maracanawe were choked in the 2014 World Cup. And reaching seven Libertadores, with the Club World Cup in Arabia and once again distancing themselves from their lifelong rival. That milestone is reality, it can be a blow and frustration with the same force, it is 50% and 50%.
And the people, the players, everyone, They must show that greatness that is needed, without racism, without dirtying the court, without aggression. Without being a great team, without giving high guarantees, with the experience of Romero and Cavani and with the kid Valentini, this is how he dreams of eternal glory. Which would be an eternal milestone.
