40 Knocking Mountains and Shocking Tigers
40 Knocking Mountains and Shocking Tigers
In the autumn of 2001, Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina - Monument Stadium.
"Hey, man, it's really early for you to come!" In the stands of Monument Stadium, Cardoso patted Fatty Barry on the shoulder and said.
"Must! Cardoso, we will definitely win today, right?" Fatty Barry said confidently waving the River Plate fan scarf in his hand.
"Of course! We will be crowned in the most representative way!" Cardoso also slapped his chest.
After smiling at his friend, Fatty Barry was silent for a few seconds...
Kress! Just watch, the River Plate team will definitely win the championship! We will beat Boca to win the title!
At this time, there are still about forty minutes before the start of the game, but the fans of the River Plate team have already filled the Monument Stadium...
Before the game, the River Plate Club also deliberately left some space between the away team stand and the home team stand at the Monument Stadium to avoid accidents.
You must know that more than 6,000 Boca Juniors fans will come to the Monument Stadium today to cheer for the visiting team Boca.
And Amy was in it.
But at this time Amy's mood was very contradictory.
As a Boca fan, she certainly hoped that Boca would beat River Plate to win the championship, but, for some reason, when she saw Lionwell warming up on the court...
She is tangled and contradictory.
"I, what am I struggling with! Boca must be the champion!" Shaking her head, Amy said firmly.
But, it would be nice to draw, we will be champions even if we tie...
As for why Amy doesn't want Boca to win the championship in a victorious way? Well, she couldn't figure it out herself.

Derby, ah Derby, as the famous Derby of the century in the world, the Argentine national derby has always been highly respected by Argentines.
In the eyes of the rebellious Argentines, the game between River Plate and Boca Juniors is the best derby in the world.
In Argentina, the River Plate team symbolizes the nobility, while the Boca Juniors team symbolizes the common people. The match between the two teams is a challenge from the middle and lower classes of Argentine society to the upper class...
Some people say that football is just football and does not contain politics.
However, after a hundred years of development of football, the culture and customs of different regions have already been integrated into football.
The national derby is the spiritual sustenance of all Argentines, so it deserves the title of the century derby.
On the stage of the national derby, there have been people whose names have gone down in history, some people have become famous with one goal, and some people have regretted it for life.
The unique culture of South American football is something that Europeans will never understand.
Today, when South American football and European football are competing against each other, Argentine football is a big banner. As the most standardized and professional league in the South American football league, Argentina has contributed many well-known stars to the world.
Today, the Monument Stadium, which can accommodate more than 65,000 people, is full of seats except for the "isolation zone".
The star of the River Plate team, Uruguayan Prince Enzo-Franciscoli was also present to help the team, while more than 6,000 fans of the visiting team of the Boca Juniors were surrounded by River Plate fans. Although their voices were blocked by River Plate The fans were overwhelmed, but they still sang the team song tirelessly and chanted Romain Riquelme's name...
This game will determine many things.
First, who is the champion of the fall league.
Second, who will ultimately hold the best points record in history?
Third, which player from the two teams will be named the best player in the fall league?
The suspense will be revealed one by one as the game progresses.

"Viewers and friends in front of the TV, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the Argentine Football Autumn League by Argentine Digital Satellite TV! This is the last time that my partner, Mr. Varidek, and I will bring you commentary this season. , this game is also the last game of this season, I believe I don't need to emphasize its importance..." With the voice of Argentine legend Kempes and the images of the game entering people's ears and eyes...
"The game begins! The River Plate team took the lead. Today they sent their strongest lineup. Oh, let's take a look at this attack first. Lionwell organized in the midfield..."
Before Kempes and Validek had time to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams, the match had already entered the first small **.
On the court, Leon's eyes were burning like a torch, "Good opportunity!" Seeing Ortega, who had shaken off the entanglement of the defenders in the frontcourt, advancing quickly, Leon directly raised his right foot.
boom! I saw Leon's pass draw a beautiful arc in the air, and then landed steadily in front of Ortega.
"Well done!" Ortega unloaded the ball perfectly with his left foot. This is a wonderful cooperation between him and Lionwell.
In just a few seconds of the opening, the River Plate team got an offensive opportunity, Leon's long pass from the backcourt, and Ortega's frontcourt rush!
Boca's right side was blown up in an instant!
Their right back Guerrero seemed to have not recovered from the tension at the beginning of the game. Amid the cheers of the River Plate fans, he could only watch Ortega dribble him away a few positions!
Just when Ortega was about to cut into the penalty area from the left, at the same time, Cambiasso, Dalisandro and Nano had also outflanked and rushed into the penalty area in three ways.
Ortega's choice is beyond people's expectations.
After cutting into the penalty area, the little donkey used his nimble steps to firmly control the ball with his back. His feet were like glue, which was fatally attractive to the ball.
Even if the players of the Boca Juniors were surrounded, there was no way to steal the ball from Ortega's feet.
"Look at them!" Boca's defenders reminded each other to pay attention to Cambiasso, Dalisandro and Nano who had already inserted into the penalty area...
However, they missed one place.
That is beyond their imagination.
"No, come back!!!" Riquelme, who was standing in the frontcourt, hurriedly turned around and shouted at his teammates.
As the saying goes, heroes see the same thing. At this moment, Riquelme guessed what Ortega wanted to do.
However, Riquelme was not in the backline...
In the Boca team, he has the right not to return to defense.
And the game has just started, Roman doesn't want to spend too much energy on defense.
Before Riquelme finished speaking, Ortega's feet had already moved, and the outer instep of his right foot made a strange arc.
The flight trajectory of the ball is like a half moon, just bypassing the defenders, and at the same time bypassing the three outflanking river plate players in front of the penalty area.
At this time, the fans in the stands were undoubtedly the ones who could see it most clearly.
Many River Plate fans had already stood up at this time, Fat Barry shook the scarf in his hand, while Cardoso put one hand on his friend's shoulder and clenched his fist with the other.
They chanted along with all the River fans: "Shoot!!!!!!!"
shoot? who is it?
When the eyes of all the players on the Boca defense line moved to the back point following Ortega's weird arc pass, they saw a handsome figure.
Lionwell's long brown hair fluttered in the wind, and his posture was stretched and domineering like an eagle with its wings spread.
Is this, bending a bow and shooting a big eagle? Leon is ready to volley directly!
His eyes have been paying attention to the position of the ball, and when the ball is about to fly past him, Leon swung his foot violently!
boom! Hitting the bull's-eye, Leon's right foot hit the ball with a loud bang like thunder!
The ball is fast and flat!
Like a bomber flying low, Lionwell's volley flew through the crowd and towards the goal!
Will it be a goal?
Everyone held their breath at this moment.
In the stands, the fat on Fatty Barry's face kept shaking, and he and his friend Cardoso stared at the court with the most anticipation...
And among the fans of the visiting team Boca, Amy felt her heart tugged a little at this time... I don't know why, she felt that she really hoped that Leonwell could score this goal, but as a Boca fan At the same time, she resisted such thoughts in her heart.
call----------! At the moment when the fans in the stands were breathing, the Monument Stadium was almost detonated at the opening!
bang! Lionwell's shot was heavily nailed to the crossbar!
"Well... the goal post participated in the Boca team's defense this time. Facing this world wave, Boca's goalkeeper was really helpless. Fortunately, the goal post helped him!" Said in a regretful tone...
On the court, the players of the Boca team were frightened into a cold sweat! The game had just started, and they were caught off guard before their formation was established...
For Boca, who swept the A-League this season, they felt the pressure brought by the River Plate team.
From the fans to the players, this is indeed the rhythm of the National Derby...
"Oh my god, what a pity!" Ortega looked at Leon with regret and said, "It's just a little bit short, damn goal post!"
"It's true...the boss should be asked to raise the doorpost a bit..." Dalisandro, the boss, also echoed.
"Okay, hurry up and get back to your positions, the Bocas are coming." Although it was a pity, Leon still maintained a strong composure and composure in his heart at this time.
Leon looks very confident today.
"The pinnacle of the eighth level of professional players...it's really extraordinary." Feeling his brand-new changes, Leon devoted himself to the team's defense.
Boca's offense was obviously affected by the opening Leo's world wave...
At least, their geek Riquelme did not show the same level as he usually does. He made a pass error and was intercepted by Cambiasso, which was another counterattack by the River Plate team!
