It’s a Talleres-Belgrano match. And it’s a major event in the lives of thousands of people from Córdoba. And at La Voz, we’re telling stories from those lives… lives going through days of beautiful stress. This Saturday at 4:30 p.m., the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium will host a new chapter of the Córdoba derby, in the Round of 16 of the Apertura Tournament. One of those many stories is that of Tiziana, an 11-year-old girl who grew up between the two strongest passions in local soccer. And one day she had to choose… as she told in the following video

Tiziana’s earliest soccer memories are tied to Talleres. Her mother, Romina Villarroel, took her to the stadium from the time she was a baby until she was five years old. For her, sharing the stands with her daughter was a ritual full of emotion.

Over time, the influence of her father, Jonathan Radicci, a Belgrano fan, began to make itself felt. At age three, Tiziana was already registered as a club member of the Alberdi team, and her weekends were split evenly: one in the white-and-blue stands and the next on the sky-blue side.

The day of the choice

The coexistence of colors came to a clear end when Tiziana was five. Sitting on the bed next to her father, she made a decision that is still remembered in the family today. “Mom, I don’t want to go watch Talleres anymore. I want to be a Pirata like my dad,” she said then.

Romina admits that moment was experienced as “the greatest betrayal,” although she also understood the bond that was being built. She herself had inherited her love of soccer from her own father and respected her daughter’s choice, despite the tears.

Tiziana’s decision left no room for doubt. Even so, the hope of a Talleres mother still stands. Romina continues paying for her daughter’s Talleres membership card, hoping that one day she will once again lean toward the white-and-blue colors.

Asked about that possibility, Tiziana’s answer is categorical: “No, never.”

Even in derby matches played with fans from only one team, the girl went to the stadium with the parent authorized to enter, although she admits she always felt more comfortable going with her father.

An intense weekend for the family

With the decisive clash drawing ever closer, the atmosphere in the Villarroel-Radicci household is filled with anticipation and playful banter. Tiziana is fully confident in Belgrano and dares a prediction: 3-1. Romina, meanwhile, is going for a 2-0 win for Talleres.

Beyond the result, Saturday’s derby will leave a special mark on this Córdoba family, where rivalry coexists with respect, humor, and affection. In that family, tolerance has already won.
