(Reuters) - Boca Juniors have installed devices that make their training pitches shake as a way of preparing youngsters to play at a home ground famous for rocking under the feet of their raucous fans.

Boca’s Bombonera stadium is known to vibrate when supporters bounce up and down together at big matches but the experience can be unsettling for younger players, the club’s former midfielder and current vice-president Juan Roman Riquelme said.
