Tiziana’s earliest football 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 an emotion-filled ritual.

Over time, the influence of her father, Jonathan Radicci, a Belgrano supporter, began to make itself felt. By the age of three, Tiziana was already a club member of the Alberdi side, and her weekends were evenly split: one in the blue-and-white stand and another 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 pirate like my dad,” she said at the time.

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 football 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-supporting mother is still alive. Romina continues paying for her daughter’s Talleres membership card, hoping that one day she will lean once again toward the blue-and-white colors.

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

Even in derby matches played with supporters of only one team in attendance, the girl went to the stadium with the parent who was allowed 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 closer, the atmosphere in the Villarroel-Radicci household is full of anticipation and playful teasing. Tiziana is fully confident in Belgrano and ventures 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.
