That afternoon Liverpool was playing the final of the Relámpago tournament. They had already knocked out Peñarol and were now facing River.
—We have to go!— said Cabeza Olivera.
—But the Centenario Stadium is far away, Cabeza— Adalberto replied.
—It doesn’t matter. We’re going to take the vuelta olímpica!
—Shhh! Don’t jinx it!
They caught the bus on Carlos María Ramírez Avenue and crossed La Teja with five more neighborhoods. By the time they reached the stadium they were euphoric. The friends already felt like champions.
