A child’s dream: With Chiqui Tapia on the field, Paracas Central created another impossible film

It’s a child’s dream. Being President of the Asian Football Confederation, at the age of 58, pushing from the outside into the colors of an old personal passion. The stadium is named after him, the club president is his son, and the number 10 is the other. Then, in a small corner Guillermo Lazawith the sun in the foreground, on level grass, in a classic game of promotion (deep promotion) played in the first division, Czech Tapia screams purpose with soul and life. The goal of Nicola Blandy35 years old, who drives the ball with his bare goal and ends another impossible scenario of the chaos that Argentine football has become.

Paracas Central, El Guapobeat Deportivo Ristra 1-0, Malevo, with one less player (very good sending off Ivan JuarazWho hit him with his elbow) in the small stadium, which this Thursday contains about 4,000 spectators. And as they say, it is a crowd. Between electronic music at every break, and energy drinks for everyone, Cheeky Tapia shouts it out, surrounded by family, onlookers and friends. His team qualified for the quarter-finals of the final tournament.

He’s not even bothered Rosario Central Scandal. Inverted entry and allegedly fraudulent AFA documents. He’s just another fan in a stadium with no visiting fans. Actually there is: a group of fans disguised as journalists.

An oversized, untucked white shirt, taking note of those youthful dreams, long before I had the responsibility of choosing Lionel Scaloni The merit of the world champion and the constant interruptions that usually interfere with our football. You can’t see it, but you can hear it all: You’re sitting in an area close to the beautiful press offices that face the sun throughout the show, separated by a curtain bearing the leading brand. From Victor Stenvall’s team.

Once he arrived at the stadium, the temperature exceeded the actual 24 degrees it had been at that altitude. Everyone is running and closing doors and windows as if they were the head of state. The young staff of this club who are clearly in the top flight (like his opponent) are running from side to side. Tapia made the decision (as they say) to watch the game at ground level, and not go to the box upstairs where they were Paracas Central leaders.

Enjoy the game (a terrible first half, a second act where Riestra shows his teeth and an impossible ending) with peace of mind, while you spy. He wakes up in one moment: to pick up some delicious dishes on a table behind him, during halftime. Without air conditioning and with the sun melting thoughts, Czech It had two standing propellers On his back. The only ones in court.

Nothing happened until the 37th minute of the second half Nicola Ramirezour best arbitration team, took note of the situation. Ivan JuarazThe Paracas Central player went to dispute the ball Jonathan Goitia. The football player from the visiting team measured his opponent, opened his arm and hit him in the face. In the midst of the turmoil, Ramirez immediately produced a red card.

This is the second expulsion Paracas has received this year. The first was for Ivan Tapia (Claudio’s son) vs. Boca. Regular time ended in a 0-0 draw, so the tie had to continue into extra time.

Six minutes into extra time, another situation occurred that had to be taken into account, which caused the goalkeeper to be injured. Ignacio Arcea little bit of it. Facundo Bruera was alone, and the Riestra goalkeeper wanted to keep the ball, so the striker kicked with his hand, stole the ball and converted it.

The goal was immediately disallowed Arce protested loudly against Ramirez. He removed the glove from his left hand. When he saw that he was seriously injured, he ran to look for Bruera. The Guapo striker was reprimanded, but the local team’s goalkeeper continued to be so angry, he wanted to look for whoever had hit him. Disturbances and threats.

Eventually, Ars had to be replaced by Nahuel Manganelli When he retreated to the locker room, they couldn’t stop him. Later, the first diagnosis of the archer became known: Dislocated finger on his left hand. Enormous pain. And the tension continued, while football (good football) was not invited to this tango duel that was first played in 1947 in the first D and which was played in 13 different stadiums.

until Thomas Boraa 21-year-old, left-handed, facing-up kid, created the play of his life. and Nicola BlandyStainless steel striker, select chain. “It was a very complicated match. It is a reward for the effort we put in every day. Aside from a lot of speculation being made“We won the game fairly and on the pitch,” said the striker, one of two substitutions ordered by Ruben Insua.

While celebrating in Paracas Central, Tapia called Nahuel Barrios. He said: “Come, dog, come. Give me the shirt, I have to give it to a friend.” The player came quickly and handed the cup to the president, who handed it to a fan disguised as an analyst. He smiles as if he was drinking with his colleagues lionel messi and rodrygo de paul, He was lost when evening came. Paracas Central is in the Sudamericana and is still in the running in the Clausura. Everything else can wait.
