You get prepared for the ritual of La Bombonera as the team bus is entering the neighborhood of La Boca, with all those tiny houses where Italian immigrants used to live, and the drums, and the people waving and singing.

One of the most special moments is when you’re heading from the dressing room towards the pitch. In the tunnel you reach this point at which you see stairs.

These are not normal stairs. They are tiny, super steep stairs.

You need to climb them alone, one by one. There is not enough space to go side-by-side. The only thing that you see, when you are getting ready to climb them, is a tiny fraction of the sky and a flag that a guy is waving to let the fans know that the players are coming. And the singing and the jumping becomes louder as you enter the arena, the Colosseum, the place where the battle will take place.

I call it the portal. One minute you are there, in the tunnel, making the last team-talks, and in the next minute you will be in a completely different place. The secrets of the Boca myths are there, in that passage.

The fans are singing the same song that they have sung for 100 years, louder and louder, because they know that you’re coming, and you feel the vibrations, the walls moving.

It beats, they say. La Bombonera is like a beating heart. It’s all very special.

Gonzalo Higuain hat trick on this day for Argentina at World Cup

Gonzalo Higuain scored a hat trick for Argentina on this day in their 4-1 win vs. South Korea at the World Cup.

It was Argentina’s second match in Group B and just like the opening win vs. Nigeria, the two time world champions got off to an early lead. Diego Maradona’s team were awarded a free kick and it was Lionel Messi who took it and the number 10’s cross into the penalty area landed onto Park Chu-Young as the South Korean deflected it into his own net.

Higuain would score his first ever goal at the World Cup before half time. Maxi Rodriguez would send a cross in which was flicked back by Nicolas Burdisso. The ball landed onto Higuain who would score from close range.

Martin Demichelis would make a mistake at the back and Lee Chung-Yong would take advantage to pull one back for the South Koreans before half time.

Lionel Messi would be the architect of the third goal. A lovely run from midfield as he’d play a pass to Aguero who would play it back to Messi but his shot would hit the post and land onto the feet of Higuain who would score a tap in.

The fourth goal was a lovely counter attack. Lionel Messi took a quick free kick and passed it onto Aguero. The then Atletico Madrid man ran towards the South Korean back line and the ball would eventually find Lionel who, while surrounded by several red shirts, would dink it over them onto Aguero. A flick cross into the penalty area reached Higuain who would head it into the back of the net for his third.

That third goal for Higuain was the first hat trick scored by an Argentina player at a World Cup since Gabriel Batistuta did it against Jamaica at the 1998 World Cup.

Here was the starting eleven for that match:

Sergio Romero, Gabriel Heinze, Walter Samuel, Martin Demichelis, Jonas Gutierrez, Angel Di Maria, Javier Mascherano, Maxi Rodriguez, Carlos Tevez, Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain

Nicolas Burdisso would come on for Walter Samuel, Sergio Aguero for Carlos Tevez and Mario Bolatti for Gonzalo Higuain.

Argentina masterclass on this day in 2006 at World Cup

Argentina put on a masterclass of a performance on this day in 2006 when they won 6-0 vs. Serbia & Montenegro at the World Cup.

The best team goal scored at that World Cup and arguably of any World Cup, Jose Pekerman’s team completely put behind them their 2002 demons and played some of the best football you will ever see.

Maxi Rodriguez scored twice and in between them Esteban Cambiasso was at the end of a 24 pass goal, all this in the first half. The second half saw Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez making their World Cups debuts.

Messi would assist Hernan Crespo for his goal off a quick Riquelme free kick. Carlos Tevez would dribble into the Serbia & Montenegro penalty area and slot one in for Argentina’s fifth of the match.

Lionel Messi would score his first ever World Cup goal, assisted by Carlos Tevez. A right footed finish would seal the win as Argentina would score 6 in one match.

This was the starting eleven:

Roberto Abbondanzieri, Juan Pablo Sorin, Gabriel Heinze, Roberto Ayala, Nicolas Burdisso, Luis Gonzalez, Javier Mascherano, Maxi Rodriguez, Juan Roman Riquelme, Hernan Crespo, Javier Saviola

Daniele De Rossi’s Great South American Adventure with Boca Juniors | Bleacher Report

Marcelo Endelli/Getty Images

They couldn’t believe it. When word first began to filter through that Daniele De Rossi—a FIFA World Cup winner with Italy in 2006 and a bona fide AS Roma legend having played his whole professional career with his hometown team—was going to join Boca Juniors, the reaction of football fans in Argentina was incredulity.  

“When Nicolas Burdisso—who was one of De Rossi’s teammates at Roma and is now director of football at Boca Juniors—came out and said a couple of months ago, ‘We’re going to get Daniele De Rossi,’ people laughed,” says Sam Kelly, founder of the Hand of Pod podcast.

“Boca have done this in previous years, saying they were going to bring in this-and-that signing. They did it with Ronaldinho a few years ago, and it tends to get laughed at.

“Then we heard De Rossi was mulling over whether to come to Buenos Aires or to move to L.A. At that point, everyone here in Argentina thought he’s obviously going to L.A. Galaxy because they will pay him on time. They’ll probably pay him more. If you had De Rossi’s money, wouldn’t you rather be in Los Angeles than Buenos Aires?

“Then he said: ‘I’m retiring from football.’ Fans from [Boca’s rivals] River Plate were saying, ‘OK, De Rossi was so desperate not to come to Boca Juniors that he’s decided to retire instead.’ Suddenly, one day, he said he’d changed his mind and was going to come to Boca.

“It’s a weird situation. I still can’t get that it has happened. From 16 years of following the Argentinian league, I’ve always wanted to see a European with no connections to Argentina be sentimental enough or curious enough to come down here and take part in this wonderful footballing culture that Argentina has, with all of its problems, but also with a lot of good things.

“He’s clearly not done it for money but for personal reasons. You often hear the cliche from footballers, ‘I’d love to play in La Bombonera [Boca’s iconic stadium].’ He appears to really mean it.”

A standing ovation from every Roma player as Daniele De Rossi says goodbye

( via @ASRomaEN) https://t.co/B7ZDIX4yhB

De Rossi, who turned 36 in July, has had a glittering career. He made his Serie A debut with AS Roma under Fabio Capello in January 2003, and he won the league’s prestigious Player of the Year award in 2009, which is a notable achievement for a defensive midfielder.

He also scored in Italy’s penalty shootout victory against France in the 2006 FIFA World Cup final in Germany, and he amassed more than a century of caps for his national team before retiring in 2017.

“It’s a surprise that De Rossi has come here,” says Carlos Navarro Montoya, a legendary goalkeeper with Boca Juniors who is known as “El Mono” (The Monkey) by fans. “You could see the reaction when he arrived in Buenos Aires at the airport. It was packed with a lot of fans. The people of Boca received him very well, with fondness. You can see it has affected him.

“The fans have a lot of empathy for him because he has chosen to come here instead of more lucrative offers in other countries. I admire him for this. He could play with another team in another league with fewer obligations, less pressure, but instead, he decided to take this challenge. Boca is a team that is under permanent pressure to win all the competitions it enters.

“It’s about something more than football. He’s taken it for personal reasons. It’s about ‘ilusion’ (a dream). He didn’t come here for any other reason. He’s prioritising sporting goals, obviously, rather than the pursuit of money. It’s a distinctive story, something different.”

Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews

Daniele De Rossi being mobbed by Boca Juniors fans at 06:30 in the morning! ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣After announcing that Roma’s player of 18 years was set for a Buenos Aires switch, De Rossi was welcomed to the club by hundreds of fans waiting for his arrival at the airport!

De Rossi is travelling in unchartered territory. Several of his former teammates at AS Roma played in Argentina’s premier division, including Fernando Gago, who featured for Boca Juniors in last year’s Copa Libertadores final; Gabriel Heinze, who left AS Roma to play with Newell’s Old Boys in 2012; and Burdisso, who learnt his trade as a youth team player at Boca and in its first team for several seasons before leaving for Italy. He returned to the club as sporting director earlier in 2019. 

There have been several Argentinian greats who have come home after triumphing in the great leagues of Europe, such as Diego Maradona; Juan Roman Riquelme, who returned to Boca from Villarreal in 2007; and Carlos Tevez, now a teammate of De Rossi’s at Boca having first returned to the club from Juventus in 2015 after playing in that year’s UEFA Champions League final.

What makes De Rossi’s case stand out is that he is a top European-born player. Even players like the former Juventus pair Mauro Camoranesi—a FIFA World Cup winner with De Rossi in 2006 who finished his playing career with spells at two clubs in Buenos Aires, Lanus and Racing—and David Trezeguet, the scorer of France’s golden goal in the UEFA Euro 2000 final and whose goals helped River Plate gain promotion in 2012, both grew up in Argentina.

“The only precedent for this high-profile a European coming to Argentina would be Trezeguet joining River during River’s season in the second division, but obviously Trezeguet has connections to Buenos Aires because he grew up here, and he grew up as a River fan. On the one hand, European, check. World Cup winner, check. Slightly over the hill but clearly better than everyone else in the league, check.

“On the other hand, his arrival wasn’t quite as surprising—except to Europeans—because people in Argentina were aware that Trezeguet had spent his adolescence in Buenos Aires before he went to Monaco. De Rossi is completely from left field. He doesn’t have any connection with Buenos Aires. He just fancied coming here to play football.”

Pablo Lisotto, a journalist with La Nacion, notes that Boca fans have already started calling De Rossi “Foro Satano,” a reference to the abbreviation “tano.”

In Argentina, locals refer affectionately to an Italian as “tano.” Boca’s roots, of course, go back to an Italian neighbourhood in Buenos Aires in which the club sprung from in 1905. 

“In the neighbourhood where Boca originated, the inhabitants call it the ‘Republic of Boca,’ as if that was a country in itself,” says Lisotto. “There, most of the people are of Italian origin living in ‘conventillos’ (tenements). Immigrants having arrived from cities like Naples and Genoa. Boca’s nickname ‘The Xeneizes’ comes from ‘Los Genoveses’—from Genoa, the Italian port city.”

Lisotto believes that De Rossi’s robust, all-action style will help him to adapt to the rigours of Argentinian football. Famously, De Rossi has a hazard-symbol tattoo on one of his calf muscles of a footballer snapping into another player’s ankle with a sliding tackle, and he wears a No. 16 jersey in homage to the notorious Manchester United enforcer Roy Keane. 

Marcelo Endelli/Getty Images

“This type of play is very familiar for Boca,” says Lisotto. “The kind of player who fights for every ball. Historically, those players are well recognised at Boca. The club’s fans appreciate the player who physically gives everything on the pitch—those players who sweat the jersey.”

Diego Simeone, who returned from his European adventures to play with Racing in 2005, sounded a note of caution, however, when speaking to No Toda Pasa (h/t Ole).

He reckons De Rossi could struggle to adapt to the more freewheeling nature of Argentinian league football:

“It’s not going to be easy for De Rossi. He comes from an Italian culture that is very tactical. The spaces are reduced, with the lines of the team close together. In Argentinian football, the teams are much more open, and this is complicated for those who are not used to it. It happened to me when I came back from Spain. The spaces on the field in Argentina were much more open, and I found this very hard.”

So far, the signs are good, though. De Rossi scored on his debut last week with a header in a Copa Argentina game against Almagro, although Boca lost the tie on penalties.

The real test begins on Wednesday when Boca play the first leg of their quarter-final Copa Libertadores clash against LDU Quito in Ecuador. If, as expected, Boca progress, they could face eternal rivals River Plate in the semi-final.

It would give Boca a chance to avenge last year’s historic defeat in the final and bring De Rossi within a step of achieving what he claimed on Boca’s website would be “the crowning moment” of his career. It would be the realisation of an amazing dream.

Southampton won't believe their luck after report about 28 y/o - opinion

According to Argentine media outlet Doble Amarilla, Southampton flop Guido Carrillo is a target for Boca Juniors, and Saints won’t be able to believe their luck if the report is true.

What’s the word, then?

Well, the south coast outfit signed the striker in a £19m deal from Monaco in January 2018, but after failing to make an impact or find the net in 10 matches in all competitions for the club, he was shipped out on a season-long loan deal to Leganes last summer by Mark Hughes.

Under the tutelage of former Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino, the 28-year-old scored six goals in 33 games for the La Liga outfit as they secured an impressive 13th-placed finish in Spain’s top tier.

Doble Amarilla report Boca boss Nicola Burdisso personally watched the centre-forward in action for the Madrid-based team, although they say Carrillo’s representative hasn’t spoken to the Argentine player about a potential return to South America.

Great news for Southampton

Saints would surely have been fearing the worst about trying to offload the striker during the summer transfer window.

Southampton fans may love Ralph Hasenhuttl but do the owners? Check out the video below…

While Ralph Hasenhuttl is yet to take a close look at the 28-year-old, he doesn’t appear to fit into the pressing style that the Austrian wants to see from his attacking players.

Having failed to pull up any trees at Leganes and with the club having no intention of signing him on a permanent basis, as per Doble Amarilla, the south coast club had been left in a difficult situation.

However, the interest from both Boca and Estudiantes de La Plata may well mean they are more likely to get rid of their disappointing £19m man for good.

While they will likely struggle to recoup anywhere near that fee for Carrillo, simply getting some money for him and removing his pay from the wage bill will be enough in what is an important summer of making changes to the squad.
