No red threads. This story deserves to be told with the appropriate tones. That color, although it symbolizes love, would be poorly suited to depict the moment that was immortalized through the lens of a third person who had little or nothing to do with this story about a romance that was about to be shipwreckedbut whose flame was rekindled more than 1,300 kilometers away away from the place where he was born driven by a common passion: Racing Club.
In La Nueva Olla in Asunción, after winning the Copa Sudamericana that, days later, continues to provide stories of all kinds, it was where an entire tribune managed to see that blue and white thread that united the destiny of two young peopleacademics at heart, who were dating for 7 years, but due to life reasons they separated until last Saturday.
“He shouted at me from tribune to tribune and made me laugh, as always” she wrote in a social media post. It was clear in his words that There was something I missed as much or more than celebrating a victory or a title from your club. He, it seems, also longed for that better past.
Racing had already vastly outplayed Cruzeiro in the first stage and had suffered in the second, with the Brazilians’ discount. And Roger Martínez had already made that endless run of almost half the court to make it 3-1 with a crossed left foot to unleash the white and blue madness in Paraguay.
After that succession of fortunate events, the celebrations continued on the playing field. And in the stands too, although with a difference: while everyone jumped and sang with the little voice that remained, They, the protagonists of this story, saw each other again and found themselves meters from the fence.. And miles from home.
The sequence shows him holding her face and her placing her palms on his waist. had arrived in Asunción to watch the final of the Copa Sudamericana like his ex. They both smile. They look happy. No one but them knew, at that precise moment, if it was for the consecration of a prodigal son of the house like Gustavo Costas or for the magical moment in which they seemed to look at each other again with complicity.
A later shot shows them face to face, very close. They both close their eyes as if finding within themselves those moments when they were equally happy. Probably, many of those moments – and this is the most incomprehensible and beautiful thing about football – were with Racing as a common denominator.
“A stranger told us that we were very cute and that she took photos of us, haha! 7 years of dating and we never had such beautiful lpm”, she commented at the closing of her message. He seemed unable to understand anything that happened to him in La Nueva Olla. But at the same time, enjoy it like never before.
“We ate our mouths”
Agustina Nucera, known on social networks as @nuzbelito, told the closing of the story in Olgathe streaming channel he works on.
“I was in the stands and he was in an upper (stand). Suddenly I started hearing chiffling, chiffling and chiffling until I looked up and there was my ex with all his friends. He started yelling at me ‘if we win it, I’ll come down, greet you and pick it up with you’. Good on the court, the most honest you can imagine,” he said.
Then, he expanded: “We won it, we picked it up, it came down, there was an exchange of glances and he told me ‘come’. I went down and we ate each other’s mouths”.
The image of both of them that went viral was taken by a young woman whom they did not know. “A girl came down and told us ‘hey, I don’t know what situation you guys are in, but I’ll leave you the photo and do what you want,’” he recalled.
However, against all odds, they did not travel back to Argentina together. “He returned immediately, left the stadium and got on a bus to Buenos Aires,” he said.
