Five hundred and forty-six chapters city in the jungle
The bus not only has a team leader and security personnel, but also an English commentator. From the moment she got on the bus, she was explaining the past, present and future of Argentine football to the tourists on the bus. Hong Tao can be regarded as a pseudo-fan at best.
, his understanding of Argentine football was limited to those few world-famous stars. Now after listening to this commentator, he understood that Argentine football is not so much the National League as it is the City of Buenos Aires.
of league.
There are a total of 78 officially registered professional football teams in the entire city of Buenos Aires, and what surprised Hong Tao is that in Buenos Aires, where housing prices are so high, there is no one of these 78 football teams.
The team shares a home stadium with other teams, which means there are at least 78 football fields here. What a concept!
In China, there are golden armors all over the city! In Argentina, there are football stadiums all over the city. No wonder they can win the World Cup and produce football superstars like Maradona and Messi, but we can’t even go out of Asia! This is simply not possible.
You can’t blame the players, you can only blame xxxx! (The word x can be made up by your own imagination)
In addition to having many football teams, the quality of Buenos Aires’ football teams is also particularly high. Not only are there two familiar super clubs, Boca Juniors and River Plate, but there are also Sarsfield, San Lorenzo, Independiente,
There are many strong teams such as Athletic, just in the Super Professional League, from Bui
There are 12 teams in North Aires, so even if Boca Juniors and River Plate decline, Buenos Aires will never decline. Being a fan here is really happy, almost every week
There is a home court to watch, and the championship will never escape the grasp of these capital teams.
But being too close is not a good thing!
To say that the most popular derby in the world is not Spain, nor England or Germany, nor Brazil. The game between Boca Juniors and River Plate is definitely worthy of this title. The reason for this is very simple, Boca Youth is from the River Plate club.
By the way, River Plate represents the wealthy group in Buenos Aires. Boca Juniors is a people's team. At best, it means differences, and at worst, it means class struggle.
As for how hot the competition between them is? In the words of Argentinian football legend Maradona: Watching this kind of competition is much more exciting than sleeping with Julia Roberts!
In Fernando's words, the players on the court are full of energy, full of gunpowder, and red and yellow cards are flying everywhere; the audience off the court is extremely crazy, and fighting is nothing new. After the fight in the stadium, they have to chase them to the street to continue the fight, if they can avoid killing anyone.
Even lucky!
"This is my favorite, let's fight. It won't be a lively fight, and it won't cost me the ticket money if it doesn't involve blood!" Fatty Bu really likes the feeling of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers. He is not afraid of big troubles when watching the excitement.
The bus for the spectator group did not stop outside the stadium, but drove directly into the stadium passage through a special passage. After getting off the bus, people in the bus could enter the club's office area through a small door, which was full of Argentine soldiers.
Police, there must be no problem with safety.
Although he has not been able to officially reach the stands, Hong Tao has already felt the Argentine people's enthusiasm for football. It is still half an hour before the game, but the songs in the stadium have already become one, and there are people in the stands setting off cool music.
The fireworks almost lit up half the stadium red.
After visiting the club's honor room and specialty store, Hong Tao, a spectator group of about 30 people, followed the team leader from the staff passage directly to the third floor of the stands. When Hong Tao walked up the steps step by step from the passage to the stands, his head just hit
When it was revealed, I was really stunned by the scene in front of me for a few seconds.
The home stadium of Boca Juniors is called Boca Youth Stadium, also called Bombonera Stadium. But the locals call it the "Chocolate Box" because it is built in a long and rectangular shape, like a box. The entire stadium is divided into
It has three levels of stands, which can accommodate more than 60,000 people. The outer walls of the stadium and the stands inside are the same as the home jersey of Boca Juniors. They are blue on the top and bottom, with a stripe of yellow in the middle.
Hong Tao has also watched football in China, and also watched football when he was in Hamburg. Beijing's Xiannongtan and the Workers' Stadium are also crowded with people and the shouts are loud when the work is popular. The Hamburg team's Nordbank Arena is more professional than Guoan's home stadium.
More popular, but the Germans all sing uniformly
, compared with the fanatical Argentinians, it is not a scene at all. It is more like a powder keg, with fans standing everywhere to watch the game. They not only sing and shout, but also throw various pieces of paper and set off various fireworks.
I don’t know how they were brought in through security.
"Old Hong, luckily we have this guide with us. If we had come by ourselves, we would probably have to explain it here. Look, look, there's another fight over there!" Fatty Bu, like Hong Tao, also entered like Grandma Liu.
Just like the Grand View Garden, I wandered around, from walking into the stands to competing
In just over 10 minutes since the start of the game, he has seen 3 fights. Not only are home team fans and away team fans prone to conflicts, but the home team fans themselves are not so peaceful either. 2 of the 3 fights occurred.
It's just fighting between one's own people and one's own people.
We won’t go into details about the process of the game. Anyway, in the end, the visiting team River Plate won 3:1. This was a hornet’s nest. Even the security personnel of the spectator group did not dare to walk down the aisle easily and could only stand in the stands.
Wait for all the spectators in the stands on the two floors below to clear out, and then sneak out.
There are several European tourists in the spectator group who are more interesting. They just bought the home jersey of Boca Juniors in the Boca Club store. It was originally packed in a plastic bag, but now there are Boca fans around the stands.
When I came out, I quickly took out the jersey and put it on without even bothering to cut off the logo.
In the end, Hong Tao and his team escaped from the stands into the bus 30 minutes after the game ended, and returned to the hotel safely. After returning to the room, Hong Tao felt that his underwear was soaked. This was not watching football at all.
Aren't you risking your life? You must remember it better next time. Don't let down your guard when you arrive in Brazil. You will definitely not go to watch football in Brazil again, even if you get free tickets to the rostrum. Don't listen to what Fernando said. I guess
Brazil fans are no better than Argentina fans!
In the early morning of the next day, Hong Tao and the other three finally boarded a plane to Manaus, Amazon River! We are finally here!
The name Amazon River is not unfamiliar to us. It is also one of the best inland rivers in the world. Although it is a little shorter than the Nile River in length and ranks second, in terms of comprehensive data on basin area and water flow, the Amazon River
The river is truly the largest river on earth.
How big can it be? Let’s use the most familiar Yangtze River for comparison. Statistically speaking, the Amazon River basin area in the rainy season can reach up to more than 7 million square kilometers, and the Yangtze River basin area is 1.8 million square kilometers;
In terms of water flow, the average runoff of the Amazon River is more than 690 billion cubic meters, and that of the Yangtze River is only one-tenth of that.
If these data don't give you a solid impression, let's talk about one more unique feature of the Amazon River. This is the only river on earth that is affected by the gravity of the moon. It is like the sea, with high and low tides every day, and
It's not because of the intrusion of sea water, but because the water area is too large.
Facing the Amazon River Basin, which is equivalent to more than half of China, Hong Tao is also very difficult. Where can we go to catch fish in such a large place? Should we go to the tributaries of the Amazon River, or should we go to the main river? These are all
He needs to solve the problem.
Ever since Hong Tao was invited by Fatty Bu and Sturgeon, he began to collect all information about the Amazon River. Although there are many books and documentaries about the Amazon River, there is very little information about fishing, and even if there is, there is no information about it.
The details of where to go and how to get there are all about how to fish, how to fish, and so on. This is basically useless to Hong Tao and has no specific help.
Until the day before departure, Hong Tao was still collecting relevant information, and even used Irene's connections to finally get a rough route from a guide from a hunting guide company in the United States. And this route
The starting point is Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas.
The plane that took off from Buenos Aires to Manaus was a Brazilian Pegasus Airbus 330 wide-body aircraft. It was not flying directly to Manaus, but was going to Sao Paulo to transfer to an Airbus 320 before flying to
Destination, with such a twist, the originally 4-hour flight turned into 10 hours
, when we arrived at Eduardo Gomez Airport in Manaus, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and due to weather conditions, Hong Tao's plan to take a bird's eye view of the tropical rainforest from the plane was also scrapped. He could not see anything from the plane, and everything below was
It was foggy, even when the plane lowered its altitude and landed.
After completing the customs procedures, Fernando took Hong Tao and the three of them to the lobby on the first floor. It was like a domestic train waiting room. It was very lively with people coming and going. Besides normal passengers, there were people holding bags everywhere.
Small brands solicit customers, and on both sides of the hall are the offices of various travel agencies, working on the spot!
When they saw someone coming out of the immigration passage, these people immediately crowded up with small signs and repeated the benefits and routes of their travel agencies in half-baked English. The only thing better than the shills at domestic train stations who solicit tourists is
, they will not make physical contact, nor will they reach out to you, it all depends on their mouth.
"Are these travel agencies reliable?" Hong Tao originally planned to go to Manaus to find a travel agency with fishing business, but he did not expect that he would encounter a situation similar to that at home thousands of miles away. Out of habitual thinking, he instinctively
I don’t really trust these people, let alone their travel agencies. (To be continued...)
