Córdoba
is already waiting for the
Superclásico
and the Mediterranean province will receive the experience with an operation of 1,800 troops, including local police, the Federal Police, traffic agents, private security and the Gendarmerie. The core of logistics is the host city and
the prevention and encapsulation plan that involves the provinces of Buenos Aires and Santa Fe has not yet been drawn up
. In any case, another 200 troops from those jurisdictions are expected to join in the coming days.
The press conference in which the Córdoba operation for the Superclásico was announced was somewhat boastful. That River-Boca can be played with an audience at the Bernabéu or the Kempes. But the Córdoba stadium is reached by land and that is why the Provincial Sports Security Council (
COSEDEPRO
) suggested two routes so that the bulk of the fans arriving from Buenos Aires do so in a differentiated way, depending on the color of the shirt.
Those from River will go through the Buenos Aires – Rosario – Córdoba highway and those from Boca will go through National Route 8 and Provincial Route 36 via Río Cuarto, with an additional hour and a half of travel time. In the first meters that the buses travel on Córdoba soil, they will find the first checkpoint scheduled today: an inter-force operation of the Anti-Drug Police, Córdoba troops, the Federal Police, the Secure Tribune and the Gendarmerie.
All service stations that continue will have police slogans, to avoid looting or destruction. The
Millionaire
bar knows what it is about: it will be the same operation that already "suffered" in its last two times at the Kempes.
But until we get to Córdoba? Usually, the operations are joint and involve the personnel of forces from each jurisdiction, encapsulating the micros of the brava group. When consulted, the Ministry of Security of the province of Buenos Aires
did not have an Aprevide operation
- the two routes originate in Buenos Aires territory - to be coupled with a comprehensive plan, despite the fact that it was part of the official announcement.
Another organization claimed to be waiting for a meeting of the Professional Football League to complete the operation, something that the entity based in Puerto Madero denied to this newspaper. So?
“This morning I contacted Javier Alonso (the Buenos Aires Minister of Security) to help us with the bus departures from the provinces. The same with (his Santa Fe peer, Pablo) Cococcioni. “I have the chief of the Córdoba Police in contact with the heads of the other two Police Forces to try to ensure that when the fans arrive in the province, they have had one or two checkpoints before,”
the Minister of Government and Security of Córdoba,
Juan, assured
Clarín.
Pablo Quinteros
.
The official assured that he also spoke with the Minister of National Security,
Patricia Bullrich
, who guaranteed him "the presence of the Gendarmerie on the route of the three provinces", in addition to those who will participate in the Kempes security rings.
Apparently, the Superclásico is transversal to all political forces in the itinerary of the fans who travel to Córdoba to see the game and arouses the interest of the National Government. “Boca and River is a national event. All ministers are from different political backgrounds and we are all available. Córdoba is prepared for this type of event and we appeal to people to come to a party and not to a quilombo,” Quinteros boasted with Córdoba wisdom.
Once in the city of Córdoba, River fans will occupy the space reserved for the venue and will have the Gasparini stalls and one of the popular stalls (the Willington). Boca is assigned the other one (the Artime) and the Ardiles stalls. With this arrangement there will also be no chance for fans to cross paths in the vicinity.
Therefore, the operation to control the entries will begin in the third ring provided at the Kempes. Members will have to carry a physical ID, in addition to the QR code that proves the purchase of the tickets. Without those requirements, they will not pass the first filter. Neither do those with apocryphal entries, nor do fireworks.
The match counts as the final, although River and Boca may not be able to play it. This League Cup pits them against each other in the quarterfinals and will be an event that has every aspect under the magnifying glass. Even the Kempes grass is in question. He looked dull, although the new overhead images showed it better.
The agronomist in charge of the playing field, Marcos Ibáñez, predicted that Sunday will be fine for playing. And you won't be wrong, because apart from the grass, a Superclásico has enough appeal that any circus pursues and goes beyond the grass into which stakes are driven like plugs. It is about selling all the tickets wherever: the Bombonera, the Monumental, in Mar del Plata, Mendoza, Córdoba or Madrid. Boca and River will each sell their 25,000 seats to their partners and, in case of remainder, to the general public.
