Lionesses
have reasons to celebrate.
This new breed of players who mix with historical players like
Noel Barrionuevo
or
Belén Succi
will play the third final of an Olympic game of the last six that were played.
So after the 2-1 victory over India that deposited them in the defining match with the Netherlands, the girls exploded.
The postgame was a party.
And he did honor to the classic song that the fans who encouraged any team in our country always sang: "
That this bar, quilombera, does not let you, does not stop encouraging you," they
were heard from the girls with Barrionuevo at the head.
But it was not all vintage, there was also a place for new waves.
A few minutes later, Sofía Maccari recorded a short but forceful video with Valentina Costa Biondi: in just a few seconds, she turned on her cell phone camera and they were downloaded with a classic Argentine insult, "Let's go the p ... que lo p .. . ", which mixed relief and joy.
And the changing room was transformed into a bowling alley, with
Agustina Albertario as DJ and entertainer.
The attacker
, one of the figures of the tournament and of the semi against India,
brought her Julieta Jankunas to dance to the Los Turros rhythm
.
They also invited a Japanese woman to dance to help them in the dressing room: "Dance, Japanese, dance", they harangued before the surprised gaze of the Japanese.
"I can't take it anymore," the girls complained later, in the middle of the cumbia, exhausted after the terrible game they had just won.
The youngest of the team, Raposo from Salta, barely 18 years old, had an indisputable happiness: "It got out of control! They took her out of Salta and Eugenia doesn't stop," Barrionuevo joked.
It was a well-deserved download after a five-year process culminating in a huge sporting achievement: winning the semi-finals of an Olympic Game, to play for gold on the last day of competition.
But now the girls are already thinking about the match against the Netherlands: "Now we have to win the final," their DT, Chapa Retegui, harangued them.
And the girls will go towards that goal
this Friday, August 6 from 7 in the morning
.
And, who knows, maybe a while later Los Turros will sound again in the locker room
