On June 18 the second match of World Cup will be held at “Maracana”. Current champion Spain will face Chile in this match.
The territory is blocked in front of “Maracana” and the road to media center is red. There are a lot of Chilean fans. Several hours before the start of the match they are supporting their team in the street.
On my way I met a Spaniard with his son and the Chileans booed at him. However, before I entered the media center such man showed up who will outweigh all Chilean fans. Of course, Manolo, who does not miss a single match of “Valencia” and the Spanish national football team. He also arrived in Tbilisi for Georgia-Spain match.
Manolo caused a great interest among the Chilean fans and they took pictures with him. He also gave interviews to TV channels. Manolo did not have a drum with him. Perhaps, he is preparing his drum for the upcoming match.
The correspondent of newspaper “World Sport” and news agency worldsport.ge will watch Spain-Chile match from the press box of “Maracana”.
