Preview: Newell's - Rosario Central

nob.jpgrosarioc.jpg

The Rosario clasico will be played on Sunday. Together with Boca-River, perhaps Argentina’s most closely followed match. This year, Rosario Central – Newell’s Old Boys does not involve the top of the league and for this very reason anticipation is even stronger: an entire season is at stake. The nicknames of the two teams originate from an event that goes back into the mists of time and is extremely interesting in a way. Newell’s organised a friendly match and the proceeds were to have been donated to an institute for lepers. Central initially accepted the invitation, without however showing up. Each of the sides considered themselves to be in the right and squabbling followed. From that day on however, the local Rosario derby is between the “Leprosos” (lepers – Newell’s) and the “Canallas” (the scoundrels – Central). A spectator, on TV only unfortunately, but very keen, will be Lionel Messi, a big supporter of Newell’s Old Boys, or as he said once “leproso hasta la muerte”, a leper until death.
