THE ONLY WAY I CAN FIND TO EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL ABOUT BOCA JUNIORS IS TO TELL THEM THAT THIS THAT I AM GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT WAS ONE OF THE STRONGEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. & NBSP;
I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED SOCCER A LOT AND SINCE I CAN REMEMBER I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF CLUB ATLÉTICO BOCA JUNIORS .
ONE OF THE FIRST MEMORIES I HAVE IS SEEING MY FATHER CRYING WHEN PALERMO, WHO RETURNED AFTER A YEAR OF INJURY, SCORED THE FAMOUS GOAL FOR RIVER FOR THE COPA LIBERTADORES: I WAS VERY YOUNG AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND MUCH ABOUT FOOTBALL YET, BUT I DID UNDERSTAND THAT IF THAT MADE MY OLD MAN CRY, SO THAT HAD TO BE VERY IMPORTANT.
DUE TO MY FATHER'S WORK, MY FAMILY AND I HAD TO TRAVEL AND SETTLE ABROAD: WE HAVE LIVED IN COLOMBIA AND MEXICO BY MU YEARS AND THEN IN SPAIN, WHICH IS WHERE WE LIVE NOW. WE HAVE NOT LIVED IN ARGENTINA FOR YEARS, BUT WE KEEP THE PASSION FOR SOCCER INTACT, AND I EVEN DARE TO SAY THAT IT IS EVEN GREATER, SINCE THE LOVE FOR BOCA JUNIORS AND FOR THE ARGENTINA NATIONAL TEAM IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST THINGS THAT UNITE US TO OUR COUNTRY.
AOOAOAOOAO
ABOUT ONCE EVERY TWO YEARS WE TRAVEL TO ARGENTINA TO SEE FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BUT VERY SADLY, DUE TO THE DATES IN WHICH WE TRAVEL OR DUE TO DIFFERENT FACTORS, WE DO NOT COINCIDE WITH ANY BOCA PARTY IN LA BOMBONERA (IF WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE MUSEO DE BOCA, WITH THE RESPECTIVE GUIDED TOUR OF THE COURT, WHICH WAS REALLY VERY NICE).
< BR>
LAST YEAR I DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION ON THE MATTER: WITH THE EXCUSE OF HAVING TO COMPLETE SOME FAMILY PAPERWORK, I TOLD MY FATHER THAT WE HAD TO TRAVEL TO ARGENTINA, BUT NOT WITH THE FAMILY ON VACATION DATES, BUT THE TWO OF US ONLY FOR A FEW DAYS. THE PROCEDURE WAS TRUE, BUT WHAT I DID NOT TELL HIM WAS THE SECRET REASON FOR THE TRIP: TO SEE A BOCA MATCH AT LA BOMBONERA . & NBSP; & NBSP; & NBSP; & NBSP;
& NBSP; & NBSP;
NOW THE PROBLEM WAS: HOW TO BUY TICKETS TO SEE BOCA?
I KNEW THAT GETTING TICKETS TO SEE A BOCA GAME WAS DIFFICULT, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, BECAUSE THE TOTAL CAPACITY OF THE STADIUM IS RESERVED FOR MEMBERS AND SUBSCRIBERS. BUT ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IN ARGENTINA HAD TOLD ME THAT IF HE EVER NEEDED IT HE KNEW HOW AND WHERE TO BUY TICKETS FOR BOCA MATCHES SAFELY (HE HAD ALREADY HEARD SEVERAL STORIES OF PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT IN UNRELIABLE PLACES OR DIRECTLY IN THE CORNER OF THE FIELD IN THE RESALE AND THE TICKETS WERE FALSE).
MY FRIEND PASSED ME THE CONTACT OF A TOURISM AGENCY AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT THEM. AT FIRST IT SEEMED STRIKING TO ME THAT A TOURIST SPOT WAS THE SOLUTION, BUT IT WAS INDEED. I SENT THEM AN EMAIL AND THEY RESPONDED BY OFFERING JUST WHAT I NEEDED: TOURS TO ARGENTINE SOCCER : A TOUR THAT NOT ONLY CONSISTED OF THE TICKET TO SEE BOCA, BUT ALSO INCLUDED TRANSFERS AND A GUIDE WHO ACCOMPANIED US AT ALL TIMES FOR ANY PROBLEM THAT MAY ARISE. A TOUR MADE TO OUR MEASURE, AND TAILORED TO ANY TOURIST WHO WANTS TO ENJOY THE PASSION OF ARGENTINE FOOTBALL. & NBSP;
WHEN WE ARRIVED THAT SUNDAY AT THE HOTEL IN BUENOS AIRES, WE I SAID NOTHING TO MY FATHER: WHAT'S MORE, I TOLD HIM THAT WE COULD WATCH BOCA'S GAME (WHICH WAS VERY IMPORTANT SINCE IF BOCA WON, HE WOULD BECOME CHAMPION) IN THE HOTEL RESTAURANT. & NBSP;
WHEN THEY CALLED US TO THE ROOM TO TELL US THAT THEY WERE GOING TO PICK US UP TO GO TO THE GAME, MY FATHER DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING: HE LOOKED AT ME AND FROM MY GESTURE AND THE SMILE THAT ESCAPED ME, HE REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING: HE SMILED AT ME AND GAVE ME A HUG.
WE GOT ON THE BUS AND WENT TO THE FIELD: WE ARRIVED WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO GO GETTING INTO THE WEATHER LONG BEFORE THE MATCH STARTS. THE COURT EXPLODED FROM THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE STANDS. BOCA WON 1 TO 0 AND BECAME CHAMPION IN THE BOMBONERA. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR LIVES, MY FATHER AND I WERE ABLE TO WITNESS IT LIVE. & NBSP;
AS I TOLD YOU AT THE BEGINNING, THIS WAS ONE OF THE STRONGEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE: I SAW MY OLD MAN EXCITED AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I WAS EXCITED TOO.
THROUGH THIS LETTER I THANK TANGOL VERY MUCH FOR HAVING MADE ALL THIS POSSIBLE. & NBSP;
AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE TOURS TO ARGENTINE SOCCER , WHICH THEY ORGANIZE WITH GREAT SERIOUSNESS AND LOVE TO FOOTBALL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
