Last week, I wrote in the same column that in the five seasons where we faced CB Almansa and Afanion, we hadn’t lost a single official competitive game. “Don’t write, you’re going to bring bad luck,” said my husband very discreetly. And I wrote it, not superstitious because it brings bad luck. And we lost. As a linguist, it seems unbelievable that I don’t believe in the magic of language when speaking up about things has an effect on them. If not, let’s see where the famous “commentator sickness” that my friend has warned about over and over comes from. Aitor Varo if a player with perfect stats is going to take a free kick.
One only has to mention that they have 100% efficiency to fail at that moment. is mathematical. It happens in every game. The power of words always surprises me, so I owe it to my team. Because if it were me who ruined the match at La Mancha by declaring my HLA Alicante’s invincibility, I would have felt compelled to repair the damage using the Argentines’ secret weapon, the kiricocho.
Believe in the magic of words, idiots, we’re playing the playoffs.
I don’t know if you know the story. do you remember carlo billiardsThe coach of Argentina, which won the World Cup in 1986? While training Estudiantes de La Plata, he learned that he was an admirer, often accompanied by bad luck. Every time I came to the stadium, something happened. Therefore, he thought that the best way to use this power was to pit opponents against each other. Actually, that was his mission. Kiricocho: use your famous jinx to spoil matches for opponents. That season, Estudiantes won the metropolitan tournament. They only lost one game at home: exactly the day Kiricocho didn’t come close to welcoming the visiting team. Since then, his name has been used to bring bad luck to the opponent. Remember that impossible stop that made it? Iker Casillas with Robben In the final of the world cup in South Africa? so it was Joan Capdevila at that moment “kiricocho!” To prevent the Dutch from scoring. Some heroes don’t wear capes.
This Friday, don’t hesitate when you see Alimerka Oviedo Balonces stepping on Pedro Ferrándiz’s parquet. When I catch the ball arteaga, “kiricoho!”. What do you have to throw? Penarroya, “Kiricocho, Kiricocho!”. HE Cool “Kiricocho, Kiricocho, Kiricocho!” I believe my Lucentum will fight to the end for victory, but as I feel responsible for breaking their streak against Almansa, I can’t think of a better remedy than a good Argentine curse to at least get the tongue out there. where sports don’t come Believe in the magic of words, idiots, we’re playing the playoffs.
