The Police are sick of football: discontent at the River-Mouth
an unwanted situation, by the violent acts of a few, has emerged an extraordinary opportunity for the city of Madrid, to Argentina and to the football. The fabulous host of this party for the capital of Spain is to be welcomed, as well as the effort that thousands of fans of our country have done to be this Sunday at the Santiago Bernabéu, a stadium famous for a single appointment, the grand duel River-Mouth. The work of the Spanish authorities in the last few hours to organize such an event will allow for celebration of what should be a festival of sport, between two swollen that they are rivals but not enemies. So we must tackle football, with passion and delivery, but without the harmful violence that everything pollutes. The unrest in the area surrounding the Monuments gave rise to a small number of people. The insecurity is in many places and those who act do so by surprise. In England had serious problems with this issue, and they solved them. Just like in Spain. For that, I am sure that in Argentina we’ll fix it with haste.
This is in many countries of the planet. Some were able to solve with more speed than us and we are in Madrid because it is a decision of the Conmebol backed by FIFA. As an argentine I would have loved to play in our land, but once we left, by the decision of the Conmebol, which analyzed many aspects, it seems to me quite correct. Madrid is a city of hospitality, where the stranger ceases to be so within a few hours of stepping on these streets. Up to the weather we will accompany, with this warm winter that will embrace the Bernabeu. There were other capitals, but anyone who is not Madrid does not have all the advantages, because the win has to go to Abu Dhabi, to the World of Clubs. The winner will get that prize, play this tournament in just 10 days. The prize excited, but I encourage all the fans, both of River and Boca, as well as the Spanish who will also be at the stadium, enjoy the day, sing for their colors, are to encourage and squeeze a Sunday in town, where the party should be the finishing touch to an act of coexistence and citizenship. There can be No other way.
I Am argentine ambassador, with respect to the two institutions, but you all know that I am of Mouth. Even so, I recognize that River has a very good team. Win one or the other I’m going to hug you. It will be a triumph of our football team. Within the country, we have to find agreement, and outside we have to come together always.
