n su reunin anual, celebrada el 3 de marzo en Surrey, Inglaterra, la International Football Association Board (IFAB) decidi permitir que las asociaciones de ftbol de todo el mundo usen la pintura en aerosol (que desaparece al cabo de un minuto) para marcar la distancia en los tiros libres, lo que ayuda a impedir el adelantamiento de las barreras. La CONMEBOL y el ftbol sudamericano fueron pioneros en el uso de esta tecnologa. Fue introducida por primera vez en un encuentro del torneo Nacional B de Argentina en 2008, entre Chacarita y Atltico Rafaela, y gracias al xito que tuvo fue implementada en Primera Divisin a los 6 meses. Ese mismo ao, la CONMEBOL comenz a experimentar con esta nueva herramienta, primero en la Copa Libertadores y ms tarde en la Copa Sudamericana. Debido a la efectividad de su uso, se dio el gran salto en la Copa Amrica Argentina 2011, tambin con muy buenos resultados. La IFAB, integrada por cuatro representantes de la FIFA y cuatro de las asociaciones de ftbol del Reino Unido, haba recibido el informe de la Confederacin Sudamericana con los beneficios que aporta el uso del aerosol evanescente en la colaboracin con la tarea del rbitro y para el Juego Limpio. Los espectadores sudamericanos, ya acostumbrados a su uso, vean de manera extraa que en los grandes partidos de Europa, con un marco impecable, la ceremonia de los tiros libres se mantena como en el pasado. Los europeos vean con curiosidad la solucin creada en nues-
tra regin. Hemos cumplido con el objetivo, y luego de esta aprobacin, todo el planeta ftbol podr contar con esta moderna herramienta, reconoci Pablo Silva, el impulsor de la espuma evanescente. Una encuesta del sitio de internet goal.com haba dado la opinin favorable del 72% de los participantes que haban visto la Copa Amrica para que el aerosol se llevara al resto de las competiciones del mundo. Otro aporte sudamericano que recorre las canchas del planeta.
n their annual meeting, held on March 3, in Surrey, England, the International Football Association Board (FAB) decided to allow the football associations all over the world to use the aerosol paint (that totally disappears after a single minute) to mark the distance in free kicks, thus helping to prevent the barriers
advancement. CONMEBOL and South American football were pioneers in the utilization of this technology. It was introduced for the first time in an Argentinas National B tournament in 2008, between Chacarita and Atltico Rafaela, and due to the success it had, it was implemented 6 months later in First Division matches. On that same year, CONMEBOL began to experiment with this new tool, first in the Copa Libertadores and later in the South American Cup. Due to the effectiveness of its usage, it was applied in the Copa Amrica Argentina 2011, also with very good results. The IFAB, made up by four FIFA representatives and four football associations of the United Kingdom, received the South American Confederations report, related to the benefits attained with this evanescent aerosol in
collaboration with the referee for Fair Play. The South American spectators already accustomed to its use, saw in a strange way how in the European great matches held within an impeccable frame, the free kicks ceremony was performed like in the past. The Europeans curiously regarded the solution generated in our region. We have fulfilled our objective and after this approval, the whole football planet will be able to make used of this tool, acknowledged Pablo Silva, the inventor of the evanescent foam. A survey held in Internet site goal.com gave the favourable opinion of 72% of the participants that had watched the Copa Amrica, for the aerosol to be used in all the competitions worldwide. This is one more South American contribution along the planets fields of play.

The country of the world five-time champions will organize the 2013 Confederations Cup, the 2014 World Cup and the 2016
Olympic Games, and that was why it was thought that the South American Championship was not going to give rise to the tremendous expectations it has always caused. The meeting among the CBF Presidents, Jos Mara Marn and the FFCh, Sergio Jadue, sealed the agreement, afterwards confirmed by CONMEBOL Executive Committee. Hence, the 44th edition will be back in Chile, that has already hosted it on six occasions (1920, 1926, 1941, 1945, 1955 and 1991). The organizing country of the 1962 World Cup has strengthened its infrastructure during the latter years, thus enjoying the 2008 U-20 Womens World Cup and they will also receive the U-17 World Cup in 2015. On June 24, Jadue divulged the matter at the Auditorium of Quilns Sport Complex, accompanied by the National Teams coach, Claudio Borghi.
It is with emotion, pride and joy that I have the privilege of announcing that after 24 years , we will again organize the Copa Amrica in Chile. It is a challenge for our country. We will be a window open to the world and I make a call to all our people to help us keep the level such a competition deserves. We will organize a very good Copa Amrica and why not, we hope to leave this Cup in our country for the first time, said the President of the FFCh. As regards the venues, Jadue stated that It will be determined through an open bidding. Our idea is to grant that possibility to the greatest number of people, that a 75 % of our people may have the Copa Amrica or the U17 World Cup in their area. He also expressed his interest in increasing the capacity of the National Stadium, potential venue of the inauguration and final matches.

Qu significa para usted concretar ese gran anhelo para el pueblo deportivo de su pas? -Nada hubiese sido posible sin la ayuda de Nicols Leoz. Para nosotros su aporte ha sido fundamental, su apoyo a nuestra organizacin y el de haber mantenido conversaciones con la gente de Brasil para el intercambio de la sede. Esta Copa queremos hacerla en grande y en ese sentido tenemos que pasar el rcord de pblico que hubo en Argentina y recaudar ms, que vaya ms gente a los estadios, tener una mejor calidad para todas las selecciones.

En ese contexto, la idea es terminar con los estadios, que lleva ao y medio a dos, y luego de ello hacer todo lo que est al alcance, tanto comunal, regional como provincialmente y a nivel pas, para que el torneo se desarrolle de la mejor manera en el 2015. -Usted ha logrado unir a la dirigencia chilena, tema que no es fcil, cul es su virtud? -El trabajo. Yo llego a las 8:15 de la maana a la oficina de la Federacin Chilena y me voy a las 20:00 horas, de lunes a viernes. Estoy ms de 12 horas diarias trabajando permanentemente. Y trabajo para los clubes. Uno tiene que trabajar para ellos, que son el soporte y eso hay que entenderlo bien. Uno trabaja en una corporacin privada y administramos pasiones. Administrar es muy difcil.
Una pasin puede ser positiva o negativa y de un segundo a otro cambiar, como tambin es en el ftbol. A principio de ao partimos todos primeros y ltimos en la tabla de posiciones y luego se va desarrollando el campeonato Nosotros hacemos lo mismo: partimos neutro tambin con algunos puntos en contra, producto de la divisin importante que tuvo el ftbol chileno. Pero hoy da vemos como todos estamos trabajando y remando por una misma causa. La causa es el ftbol chileno, que a m me toca administrar. -El torneo local est bien o se necesita algo ms? -El torneo de la Liga local de acuerdo con la IFFHS (Federacin Internacional de Historia y Estads-

Con Argentina y Uruguay, jugando afuera, nos fue mal, pero creo que es la oportunidad propicia para revertir esa tendencia y poder obtener puntos importantes con miras al objetivo final: llegar al Mundial de Brasil 2014. Es de esperar que toda la aficin acompae, que haya un excelente comportamiento en el estadio y ojal Dios quiera que los puntos se queden para Chile.

En Sudamrica tenemos que aprender de ellos. Por eso nosotros en Chile ya tomamos la iniciativa. -La polica y el Gobierno se hacen cargo de los espectculos en Chile, en este caso el ftbol? -S. El Gobierno se hace cargo del orden pblico a travs de la administracin policial antes, durante y despus de un partido. Y algo que nosotros tenemos que agradecer es el apoyo constante del Gobierno que hemos tenido para con el ftbol chileno.
r. President, you have made it possible to make real the dream of maybe millions of Chileans, which is to organize the 2015 Copa Amrica. What does it actually mean for you to have been able to make real that wish for the sports loving people of your country? Nothing would have been possible without the help of Nicols Leoz. His contribution has been fundamental for us, as well as his support to our organization and having talked it over with the people in Brazil for them to change the venue. We want to make a big success of this Cup and we hope to surpass the record number of spectators they had in Argentina and increase our sales, with more people in the stadiums, offering excellent conditions to all the national teams. Moreover, as it is logical, together with our countrys Government, we want to put everything at the disposal of CONMEBOL and the eleven countries that will visit us so as to be able to develop the best Copa Amrica ever held in history. When do you think youll be able to start organizing the works? I had a meeting with Mr. Piera, the President of the Republic, presented our request and he said he would give us an answer. He was very nice to us and I think he will give us an affirmative answer. The president is a football man; he was a sport leader and consequently he knows our requests. From now on till 90 days, we are going to make a bid for the venues, so as to define which they will be and also our guest countries. Mexico will be one and we still have to decide upon the other. We would like to have Japan that for well-known reasons, was unable of being in 2011 Argentina. In this context, the idea is to finish the stadiums
CSF G 17
that will take a year or two and afterwards to do everything within our power, at a regional, provincial and the countrys possibilities so that the tournament may develop in the best possible way in 2015. You have made it possible of joining the Chilean leaders
football had. But nowadays we see how we all continue to work, rowing for the same cause. The cause is Chilean football, which is my turn to lead. Is the local tournament all right or do you need something else? The Local League
state of Chiles National Team? Very good. We have 6 points in the positions, more than in the three last competitions with the same format, that already have 12 years with this system and we expect to have two very important matches, both as
Jadue junto al idolo Ivn Zamorano. Yo considero que en ftbol no se debe hablar de clubes grandes y clubes chicos. El ftbol es un contexto generalizado en el que tambin pueden triunfar los menos opcionados, seala el joven presidente de la federacin chilena. Jadue by idol Ivn Zamorano. I agree that in football you must not talk of big and small clubs. Football is a general context in which less important ones can succeed, stated the young President of the Chilean Federation.
which is not at all easy. What is your virtue? Work. I arrive at 8:15 every morning at the offices of the Chilean Federation and leave at 8:00 in the evening. I spend more than 12 hours permanently working and I work for the clubs, that are our support and that must be well understood. When you work in a private administration you manage passions. Managing is very difficult. A passion may be positive or negative and it may change from one second to another, and the same thing happens in football. At the beginning of the year we started all together first and last in the ranking stable and then followed the championship We do the same thing: we started with some points against, as the result of the important division Chilean
18 G CSF
tournament is in full accordance with the IFFHS (International Federation of Football History and Statistics). We have two clubs inside within the best ten world clubs. In other countries, the capacity of their stadiums has been increased, so that they have large sums in tickets money. We have grown quite a lot and have an important support as the Football Channel that supplies the clubs with more than 50 million dollars per year. We came from a previous administration with important losses and today weve had very positive profits, and that makes us really very proud. This is the result of a work performed by our people with the visible face of this administration. The South American Qualifiers will soon be renewed; what is the present
visitors, in June, in Bolivia and Venezuela. We had very bad luck with Argentina and Uruguay playing out, but I think that this is the right opportunity to reverse that tendency and obtain important points thinking of our final objective that is to get to Brazils 2014 World Cup. It is to be hoped that all our fans accompany us with an excellent behavior in the stadium and may God help us and the points remain in Chile. What about your family? What do they say as you dedicate so much of your time to football? Well, they are happy because they see me working quietly and happy. You cannot work as hard as I do, if you do not have an important emotional stability and that is what my wife and children give me. Much of what I do, I really owe it to them
and I also want to thank them through this means of communication. Do you enjoy your leadership? My grandparents founded a club which I had to preside and I succeeded in promoting it to First Division after 27 years: Unin La Calera. Today it is in First Division and last year it got to semifinals in the Chilean tournament. My city La Calera is a very small commune and it is something you have in your blood. What is the commune like? Very small, with some 50,000 inhabitants living through mining and trade, in which the Palestine immigration was very strong. I belong to an important family there, the Jadues. I never forget that I am in Chilean and South American football as my clubs representative. Not long ago, we read a concept of yours in which you stressed that there would not be any free tickets in Chilean football. Youre right, there are not going to be any courtesy tickets of any type for heavy groups. Thats gone forever. No club leader will be in favour of this kind of criminals that are in the stadiums. Only respectable people will be accepted when they buy their ticket. We wont accept drums or painted cloths that stain the show. Weve seen the shows in Europe that are really beautiful and the fans behave as they should. In South America, we have to learn from them and that is why we, in Chile, have already started this initiative. The police and the Government are in charge of spectacles in Chile. Is football also included? Yes. The Government is in charge of the public order through the police administration before, during and after a match. If we have something to thank is the permanent Governments support that weve had for Chilean football.

ueve meses despus de asumir la conduccin tcnica de una Seleccin Paraguaya urgida de renovacin, Francisco Chiqui Arce da cuenta de sus primeras vivencias al frente de la Albirroja y del estilo que busca imprimirle a su equipo. Muy serio, seguro de s mismo y convencido de su trabajo, el recordado exlateral derecho que brill en Cerro Porteo, que fue bicampen de Amrica con Grmio y Palmeiras en los 90 y anim los Mundiales de 1998 y 2002 con Paraguay, hizo un alto en los entrenamientos en el Centro de Alto Rendimiento de la Asociacin Paraguaya de Ftbol en Ypan, a unos kilmetros de Asuncin. -Asumi como tcnico de la Seleccin Paraguaya a fines de julio de 2011, qu balance hace de estos primeros meses al frente de la Albirroja? -Al igual que los hinchas, pensbamos que bamos a estar en una situacin distinta, mejor en cuanto a puntos en la Eliminatoria (N. de la R.: tiene 4 en 4 partidos). Nuestra previsin era sumar 8 9 unidades como mnimo en los cuatro juegos iniciales. Esto ha provocado algunas dudas por parte de cierto sector de la prensa en cuanto a si lograremos clasificar a Brasil 2014. Aqu pasamos rpido del triunfalismo a dudar de todo. Por eso necesitamos que la seleccin consiga este ao recuperar esos puntos que se perdieron en las primeras 4 fechas, eso nos va a dar despus una mejor visin del resto de la competencia y una fa20 G CSF
cilidad mayor para que realicemos el trabajo en el da a da. -Hubo algo que lo haya sorprendido cuando tom el equipo? -Sabamos exactamente con qu nos bamos a encontrar porque conocamos al grupo de jugadores desde afuera y al entrenador anterior, Gerardo Martino, por conversaciones con allegados y especialmente por haber compartido en la Seleccin con quienes ahora son los ms avezados del plantel y la columna vertebral del equipo. Esto nos facilit el trabajo, adems de que la conduccin del seleccionado es muy similar a la del profesor Martino, de quien hemos aprovechado muchas cosas en cuanto a organizacin y estructura. Tuvimos muchas facilidades en esos aspectos. -Cules fueron las primeras medidas que implement? -Una metodologa de trabajo unificada para todas las selecciones juveniles, coordinada por el cuerpo tcnico principal. A la tradicional garra, sacrificio y temperamento del futbolista paraguayo queremos agregarle una mayor capacidad de manejo del baln, adaptarnos a las nuevas tcticas. Sabemos que hay buena materia prima, calidad tcnica para desarrollar esto, pero que se necesita trabajo para que sea duradero, como en cualquier lugar del mundo. Somos muy conscientes de eso. -Contemplaron una aclimatacin a la altura para el partido con Bolivia? -S, esto ya se haba decidido en los primeros das de nuestro nombramiento. Al principio bamos a contar slo con los futbolistas locales, pero por la Eurocopa y las vacaciones de los jugadores que juegan en Europa, seguramente vamos a contar con el equipo base y vamos a hacer una aclimatacin de 22 23 das. Es importante por el partido, pero tambin porque vamos a tener al plantel muchos das a nuestra disposicin, algo infrecuente hoy para los seleccionadores nacionales. -Es casi el mismo tiempo que cuando se disputa una Copa Amrica
Con el trabajo como bandera, valora las facilidades con que cuenta: El Centro de Entrenamiento de aqu es un paraso. La APF nos dio las armas para recorrer el pas y traer jugadores para que mejoren. / With work as a standardbearer, he valued the facilities at his disposal: The Training Center here is a paradise. The APF gave us the weapons to travel through the country and bring players to improve their game.
To his grit and Paraguays sacrifice we must add his good handling of the ball
-S, y an tiene ms valor porque el partido es importante y porque difcilmente un equipo pueda realizar un trabajo para estar igualado en lo fsico y buscar conseguir puntos en La Paz. Si nosotros sumamos ante Bolivia esos puntos nos van a dar un plus en la tabla al final de la Eliminatoria. Tambin veo positivamente estos das de aclimatacin por la compenetracin que logra el grupo, por el hecho de convivir un tiempo, ms all de la exigencia de la altitud o la carga de trabajo Vamos a poder hacer algunas cosas encima de lo que nosotros queremos y a futuro, en los siguientes partidos, ese perodo de ensayo puede ser determinante para conseguir la clasificacin. -Recin hablaba del equipo base, ya tiene definido su grupo de jugadores para la Eliminatoria o todava est buscando algo en algn sector del campo?
-En el ftbol paraguayo tenemos precariedades que aparecen cada tanto y en sectores distintos. Han aparecido en una poca grandes delanteros, ahora hay buenos delanteros, pero faltan laterales, volantes por afuera, extremos. En eso estamos, en la bsqueda constante y respetamos la historia, que es importante, pero el presente tambin; estamos atentos a eso. Hay muy buenos chicos, el hecho de tenerlos aqu, por ejemplo, una vez a la semana, los ayuda a acostumbrarse aunque sea caseramente a lo que es la Seleccin, porque si no a veces genera miedo escnico; ha pasado, nosotros jugando en la Seleccin lo hemos visto. Entonces por eso una de las metas de nuestro trabajo semanal es integrar al futbolista local, para que despus entiendan lo que queremos y trasmitirle al resto que casi no tiene tiempo de entrenamiento. Llegan ac, se cambian, juegan y se
van. Pero esa gente que juega en el exterior es muy importante para los otros, son los que saben como se afrontan los partidos, los que tienen la estructura mental ms fuerte y los que tienen que trasmitir eso para los ms jvenes, que el da de maana sern los sustitutos de ellos en la seleccin. -Qu impronta o qu estilo le gustara que tenga su equipo cuando haya ms tiempo de trabajo o ms definidos a sus jugadores? Qu esquema es el que ms le gusta aplicar? -Me gusta el juego simple, rpido, con mucho movimiento de pelota, que se muevan mucho los futbolistas, que sean verstiles. Mi idea es jugar por las bandas, abriendo la cancha, y con bastante posesin de la pelota. Eso es lo que tratamos de inculcarle a los jugadores El futbolista paraguayo es muy abnegado y es muy fuerte para luchar, para guerrear, presionar, defender, pero necesitamos en algn momento poder defendernos ms con la pelota, no solamente retrasarse y esperar que nos peloteen y por tener buenos defensores aguantarla siempre. Lo que estamos intentado en el da a da en todas las categoras y especialmente cuando tenemos tiempo con los grandes es mecanizar y darle libertad en ese sentido, estar a mil para recuperar la bola y bajar un cambio despus, para no perderla tan rpido. Queremos lograr esto pero sin renunciar a la solidez que se consigui con Martino y con anteriores selecciones paraguayas. -Sabemos que Luiz Felipe Scolari es uno de sus tcnicos de referencia, lo tuvo en Grmio y en Palmeiras varios aos, con mucho xito CoCSF G 21
Ante Sudfrica convirti un hermoso gol de tiro libre en Corea/Japn 2002. Enfrenta a Quinton Fortune, que igual de penal. Fue 2-2. Against South Africa, he converted a goal with a free kick in Korea/Japan 2002. He is confronting Fortune that tied with a penalty, 2-2.
pia cosas de l o tambin de otros tcnicos que admira? -Felipo es mi mentor en el sentido de cmo vivir la vida; mis mayores logros como atleta se dieron cuando estuve bajo su mando, durante 6 aos. En lo futbolstico seguramente tenemos algunas diferencias, yo soy ms del estilo de Paulo Csar Carpegiani o Vanderlei Luxemburgo, pero Sergio Markarin y Luis Felipe Scolari son los entrenadores que ms me han marcado en lo futbolstico y en lo personal, por eso normalmente me preguntan mucho por ellos o quiz yo hablo mucho de ellos. Es una relacin casi paternal con los dos. -Hoy da, cmo ve el nivel en Sudamrica? Qu equipos o selecciones son las que ms le estn gustando en este momento?Qu tcnicos...? -Uruguay, porque ha conseguido una estabilidad, a diferencia de Brasil, que no esta compitiendo, y de Argentina, que tiene mucha presin. A Uruguay le ha costado mucho 4 5 aos atrs, pero ahora consiguieron padronizar y tener una regularidad. Como equipo, la U de Chile es lo mejor que he visto actualmente. Tiene un tcnico (N. de la R.: Jorge Sampaoli), que nadie conoca y
22 G CSF
trabaja, es perfeccionista; tiene un plan A, plan B y plan C para cada partido. Parece que juega siempre con el mismo sistema pero respetan mucho el buen juego, espacios grandes, son muy ligeros y realmente actan como un conjunto. -A nivel internacional qu es lo que ms le gusta? -Pienso que as como en la vida, cuando se llega al nivel mximo en el deporte, las cosas buenas acaban por imitarse. Por eso hizo muy bien que Espaa haya sido campeona del mundo: marca una tendencia al menos hasta el siguiente Mundial. Mucha gente intentar jugar bien gracias a ello. Y Guardiola me parece que se ha encargado mucho de eso y Bielsa ahora es un gran maestro, ha mostrado esos caminos, se est volviendo a jugar como antes, gente rpida bien abierta, un 8 y un 10 que juegan muy bien, alguien delante de la defensa... Se est haciendo costumbre otra vez cambiar de estructura tctica durante un mismo partido de acuerdo a la potencia de los rivales, eso lo veo en los tcnicos con sus equipos, y los grandes entrenadores lo hacen a la perfeccin. -Nacionalizara un jugador en caso de necesidad? Es algo que se ha dado bastante
en el ciclo de Martino. -S, lo hara despus de que agotemos todas las instancias aqu. Si se da al caso de tener una carencia en alguna posicin, no hay ningn inconveniente en nacionalizar un futbolista para la Seleccin. Lo que no quisiera es naturalizar a un futbolista para quitarme un peso de encima, por no buscar aqu. Al inicio de nuestro ciclo se corri ese rumor equivocado, pero la gente ya ha entendido que no buscamos crear un falso nacionalismo. Hay gente que nos gusta del medio local, pero convocaremos a medida que sea necesario para cada partido. (N. de la R.: para el amistoso que Paraguay le gan a Guatemala 10 el 23 de abril, posterior a esta entrevista, fue citado el argentino nacionalizado paraguayo Ricardo Mazacotte, de Nacional de Asuncin. El zaguero hizo el gol del triunfo en su debut albirrojo). -Cmo lo han recibido el pblico y la prensa al asumir y en este primer tiempo? -La gente est expectante, va viendo qu hacemos y cmo lo hacemos, pero me alienta, me dice estn trabajando bien, y ya han llegado buenos resultados. La prensa me ha tratado de forma normal, aunque hay un cierto sector que al principio me cuestion
por mi edad, la corta experiencia como DT, la capacidad... Nada fuera de la comn, es as en Paraguay, no s si en otros lugares ser igual. La prensa a veces en las derrotas es normal que sea cruel, hay cosas que ellos no quieren o no pueden ver, pero yo s perfectamente que son las reglas del juego. De futbolista tambin recib algunas crticas aunque era muy regular para jugar. Yo s que ahora la artillera va a ser mucho ms pesada, pero estamos muy bien preparados. -Pasaron 1 ao y 10 meses de aquel partido cumbre de Paraguay contra Espaa en el Mundial 2010. Paraguay tuvo una gran actuacin en esos cuartos de final y hoy pareciera que las cosas son muy diferentes para la Albirroja. Hay mucha diferencia o es una falsa impresin que nos dej la Copa Amrica porque no se tuvo un buen torneo? -Me parece que hay que saber diferenciar muy bien una Copa Amrica de una Eliminatoria, hay una manera de jugar distinta. En las Eliminatorias existe una urgencia por los primeros resultados, pero si se tiene una visin especfica, si se mira a largo plazo y se respalda el trabajo no tendra que haber desesperacin.
ine months after taking up the technical conduction of a Paraguayan National Team, in need of renovation, Francisco Chiqui Arce tells us his first experiences in front of the White-and-Reds and the style he wanted to impose upon his team. Very serious, sure of himself and convinced of his work, the well-remembered former right half that shone in Cerro Porteo and was a bi-champion of America with Grmio and Palmeiras in the nineties and enlivened the1998 and 2002
World Cups with Paraguay, made a stop in the trainings at the high yielding Center of the Paraguayan Football Association in Ypan, some kilometers from Asuncin. You became the coach of the Paraguayan National Team at the end of July 2011; what balance do you make of these first months directing the White-and-Reds? Just like the fans, we thought that we were going to be in a different situation, much better as regards points in the Qualifiers (Editors Note: they had 4 in 4 matches). Our prevision was to add 8 or 9 units as a minimum in the four initial matches. This gave rise to some doubts on the part of a certain sector of the press regarding our possibility of qualifying for Brazil 2014. Here, we quickly passed for a secure triumph to doubt of everything. That is why we need the national team to succeed this year and recover the points lost in the first 4 dates. That is going to give us a better viewpoint of the rest of the competition and a greater facility to perform our work day by day. Was there anything that surprised you when you took the team? We knew exactly with what we were going to find because we knew the group of players from the outside and also the previous coach, Gerardo Martino, through conversations with friends and especially for having shared in the National team with those that are now the best prepared of the whole roster and the teams spine. This situation made our job easy, besides leading the national team is very similar to what Professor Martino did, and we learned from him many things concerning organization and structure. We had an easy leadership in that aspect. What were the first measures you implemented? A working methodology unified for all the juvenile national teams, coordinated by the main technical staff. To the traditional grit, sacrifice and temperament of the Paraguayan footballer we
want to add a greater capacity in handling the ball, adapting them to the new tactics. We know that there is good raw material. technical qualifications to develop our plan, but we also need work to make it last, like in any other part of the world. We are quite conscious about that. Very soon, you have a match with Bolivia. Are you going to prepare an acclimatization due to the height? Yes, that was already decided during the first days of our nomination. At first, we
valuable because the match is important and also because it is not likely that the team can carry out some work to be equal in the physical aspect and look for points in La Paz. If we add those points against Bolivia, those same points will give us a plus in the table at the end of the Qualifiers. I also consider the acclimatization positive because of the mutual understanding the group achieves, for the fact of living together longer, beyond the dreams of altitude or the work they must perform Were

thought of only counting with the local footballers, but due to the EuroCup and the vacations of the footballers that play in Europe, we surely will have our basic team and we are going to make an acclimatization of 22 or 23 days. Its important because of the match and we are going to have the roster many days at our disposal, something that is not frequent at present for the national coaches. Its almost the same time that when they dispute a Copa Amrica. Yes, and it is even more
going to be able to do certain things beyond what we want and in the future, in the following matches, that period of trial may prove positive to attain the qualification. You recently mentioned the basic team. Have you already defined your group of players for the Qualifiers or are you still looking for something in some place of the field? In Paraguayan football we have certain precariousness that appear now and then in different sectors. Some forwards have
appeared at a given time, but now we have good forwards, and we lack halves, outside midfielders, at extremes. We are in a constant search and we respect history which is important, but we must also think of the present. There are very good boys, the fact of having them here, for example, once a week, helps them to get used to what the National Team is, because otherwise they have stage freight. One of our objectives in our weekly work is to make the footballer feel at ease, because sometimes they have very little time to train. They arrive here, change clothes, play and leave. But the people playing abroad know how to face matches. They have a stronger mental structure and that is what they have to transmit to the youngsters, that in the future will be the substitutes in the national team. What style would you like your team to have when there is more time to work or your players are more defined? What scheme do you like best to apply? I like the simple game, quick, with a lot of movement of the ball. I like footballers to run a lot. My idea is to play by the bands, opening the pitch and with a lot of handling the ball. That is what we try to teach the players The Paraguayan footballer is very unselfish and very strong to fight, press, defend, but at some moment we need to defend ourselves with the ball, not just stay behind and wait to have the ball thrown to us and also having good defenders. What we are doing and what we have tried with all the categories day by day, and especially when we have time with the big ones is to mechanize and give them freedom in that sense trying to recover the ball at full speed and kick it low afterwards, not to lose it so soon. Thats what we want to achieve without renouncing to the solidity Martino succeeded in getting and also with other Paraguayan national teams. We know that Luiz Felipe Scolari is one of your reference coaches. He was in
CSF G 23
Grmio and Palmeiras several years, with great success. Do you copy some of his tricks or do you also have other coaches you admire? Felipo is my mentor in the sense of how to live your life. My greatest achievements as an athlete occurred when I was under his command. As to football, we surely have some differences. Im more in the style of Paulo Csar Carpegiani or Vanderlei Luxemburgo, but Sergio Markarin and Luiz Felipe Scolari are the coaches that have
most marked me in the football aspect and also in my personal life, and that is why many people ask me about them or perhaps I speak a lot about them. Its almost a paternal relation that I have with both. In the present day, what do you think of South Americas level? What teams or national teams are the ones you like most at this moment? What coaches? Uruguay, because they have attained stability, quite different from Brazil that is not competing, or Argentina, that wants too much pressure. It has been very difficult for Uruguay to do what they have been doing for the last 4 or 5 years, but now they have succeeded in padronizing and they are in control. As a team the U of Chile is the best I have recently seen. They have a coach (Editors Note: Jorge Sampaoli) who is not known, but works hard and is a perfectionist; he has an A plan, a B plan and a C plan for each match. It seems as if he always played under the same system but his men respect the game, the spaces are big, they are quick and really act as a group. What do you like best at an international level? I think that just like in life, when you get to the top level in sport, good things are finally imitated. That is why it was very good for Spain to win the World Cup. It marked a tendency at least until the next World Cup. Many people will try to play well thanks to it. I think Guardiola had a hand in all that and Bielsa is now a great coach. He has shown the way and the people are playing as it was done before, quickly and openly with an 8 and a 10 that play well and someone of defense in front They are going back to the custom of changing the tactical structure during the same match according to the power of their rivals; that is what coaches see in their teams and the great coaches do it perfectly well. Would you nationalize a player in case of need? That is something that has been commonly done during
Las instrucciones a Edgardo Orzusa, joven volante de Sol de Amrica que debut en un amistoso ante Chile. El mensaje es de cuidar la pelota, no rifarla y tocar rpido, The instructions given to Edgardo Orzusa, young midelder of Sol de Amrica who made his debut in a friendly against Chile. The message is to take care of the ball, never throw it at random and touch it quickly.
Martinos cycle. Yes, Id do it after having tried other solutions. If it should happen that we had an opening in a given position, there is no reason not to nationalize a footballer for the National Team. What I would not like to do is to nationalize a footballer to deliver myself of a heavy weight and not try to find him here. At the beginning of our cycle, that was the wrong rumour, but the people have now understood that we do not want to give rise to a false nationalism. There are some people we like in the local media, but we will call them according to our needs in each mach. (Editors Note: For the friendly that Paraguay won to Guatemala by 1-0 in April 23, after this interview, the Argentinian nationalized Paraguayan Ricardo Mazacotte, of Asuncins Nacional, was called. The back scored the goal of triumph in his white-and-red debut). How have the public and press received you when you accepted your call and especially during this first half? The people are eager and expectant. They analyze what were doing and how were doing it, but that is what encourages me. They tell me that were doing the right thing and weve already had some good
results. The press have been correct though, some of their members questioned my age and short experience as coach, my capacity Nothing extraordinary, it is so in Paraguay; I dont know if in other places it is just the same. The press sometimes in defeats, its normal for them to be cruel; there are things they dont or cant see, but I know perfectly well that those are the rules of the game. As a footballer I also received some criticisms, though I was quite regular to play. I know now that the artillery will be much heavier, but we are very well prepared. A year and 10 months have gone by from that special match of Paraguay against Spain in the 2010 World Cup. Paraguay played a good match in those quarterfinals and today it seems that things are very different for the White-and-Reds. Is there a great difference or is it false impression that the Copa Amrica left us because it was not such a good tournament? I think you must know how to differentiate a Copa Amrica from the Qualifiers. There is quite a different way of playing. In the Qualifiers there is an urgency for the first results, but if you have a specific vision, if you consider facts on a long range and you work well, there is no need to despair.

En primer turno, Colombia gole 4 a 0 a Argentina y termin en el tercer lugar, con lo cual tambin consigui la clasificacin al Mundial de Azerbaijn. Junto a Brasil y Uruguay sern los representantes sudamericanos en la cita universal. Ambos cotejos, como toda la fase final, tuvieron lugar en el estadio Patria, de la bella,
histrica y colonial ciudad de Sucre, ubicada a 2.800 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
UNA MQUINA INVICTA Brasil termin el torneo invicto, con 7 victorias en 7 partidos, marcando 33 goles y recibiendo apenas 3. En su camino a la cima, venci sucesivamente a Paraguay 7 a 0; a Venezuela 3-0, a Colombia 5 a 1, a Chile 9 a 0 y, en la fase final, a Argentina 5-1, a Colombia 3-1 y a Uruguay 1-0.

Por si fuera poco, Andressa se coron hace dos meses campeona sudamericana Sub-20. Su calidad le permite jugar sin problemas en la categora superior y an en la mayor si fuera citada.

Valga decir que hubo cuatro tiros en los palos de Uruguay, adems de varias salvadas de su arquera.

unbeaten, with 7 victories in 7 matches, scoring 38 goals and receiving only 3. On their way to the summit, they successively defeated Paraguay 7-0, Venezuela 3-0, Colombia 5-1, Chile 9-0 and in the final phase, Argentina 5-1, Colombia 3-1 and Uruguay 1-0. Numbers clearly evinced their superiority, though their qualifications were also reflected in the game. They played better than all their rivals, exerting a ruling power with better arrivals to the rival area. Byanca Arajo was their top scorer with 8 points, followed by Brena with 7.

Moreover, two months ago, Andressa was crowned U-20 South American Champion. Her qualifications allow her to play at ease in the superior category and even the senior one.

This victory allows them to participate in the World Cup of the category for the second time, two over three of this category. They have also disputed the latest World Cups for seniors and U-20 women. The good football of the younger ones is a homage to the impeccable organization of the tournament, that was only
evinced a wide superiority that was not reflected in figures, which must have been much larger given the numberless goal situations generated by the champion team. There were four shots to Uruguays posts in addition to several savings of their goalkeeper. The Light-Blue girls fought with all their might and at least, they left with the joy of having the world Cup ticket after having lost by a minimum under the queens success. Scarcely 11 minutes had elapsed when Andressa, central midfielder of a tremendous class, nailed a bombshell from a 25metre distance in a high angle of goalkeeper Rodrguez. From then onwards, the Green-and-Yellow girls had the upper hand, exerting their perilous power over the goal of Valentina Rodrguez, though they never reached the net. In addition to Andressa, special mention must be made of back Geraldine for her firmness and midfielder Djenifer. Edvaldo Erlacher, the coach that led Brazil to win the first title of this category in 2010, was again the leader of the young Brazilian athletes.
Federation and Sucres Lord Mayor, Mr. Moiss Torres Chiv, were in charge of presenting the champions trophy to captain Andressa Cavalieri Machry. Andressa was also awarded the Fair Play Trophy attained by her national team. Yamila Badell, Uruguays left winger, attained the trophy to the competitions striker for her 9 goals, having converted 4 to Argentina, 2 to Ecuador, 2 to Bolivia 1 to Peru and 1 to Colombia.

As regards Uruguay, we must highlight the role performed by top scorer Yamila Velasco and the skilful number 19, Caroline Birizamberri, central midfielder Ximena Velasco and right half Carina Felipe. In Colombia, the high points were Leysi Mara Santos, defensive midfielder and attacker Dayana Castillo. In Argentina, midfielder and forward Karina Micaela Cabrera, made an excellent impression. She is a very skilful scorer playing in Independiente Club. Micaela made herself well-known, though she is the youngest footballer of the tournament, only 14 years old. A point to be especially highlighted is that Brazil attained the Fair Play Prize by a large difference. The truth is that none of them were sent off. Besides, in all the first phases, no players received yellow cards. It was only in the final round, with Argentina and Uruguay, that there were 6 yellow cards. Consequently, we can say that Brazil was a brilliant and very correct champion.

-Es difcil porque los clubes no apuestan al semillero, aunque poco a poco se va vislumbrando un cambio en eso. Se nota cierta voluntad, y eso es importante. -En este Sudamericano Sub17, encontr el nivel que esperaba, es ms, es menos...? -Estuvo lindo, me gust. Sinceramente, como esta es la primera generacin en competencia internacional oficial, no tenamos ningn parmetro. -Al no haber competencia internacional, uno no sabe si son buenas o malas. Con el Sub-20 es distinto, las chicas ya vienen de un Sudamericano previo, se puede evaluar, a estas ya les ganamos, con las otras estamos parejas... -Claro, en el Sub-17 uno no tiene idea dnde est ubicado. Nosotros nos abocamos durante meses a entrenar con juveniles varones, en amistosos y prcticas; con chicos de Sptima Divisin del Uruguay, de clubes como Liverpool, Fenix, Wanderers, Danubio, a los que estamos recontraagradecidos porque nos enriquecieron. No nos importaba el resultado, sino la cancha, la velocidad, el roce, lo fsico, porque los chicos de 17 estn ms desarrollados. Eso por un lado, y por otro la parte anmica, que probamos en dos amistosos con Chile, del que estamos reagradecidos tambin; nosotros no tenamos oportunidad de hacer el viaje, y ellos vinieron a Uruguay. Ah ya fue como que nos tranquilizamos un poco, ya no estbamos en la nada. -Qu tema les inquietaba ms? -Pusimos mucho nfasis en la parte psicolgica de las chiquilinas. Yo decid traer un psiclogo deportivo antes que el equipier (N. de la R.: utilero), para m era fundamental. No podamos excedernos de 28 personas en la delegacin. Y yo necesito un psiclogo conmigo. Pero todo el equipo me ayud, ya sea el ayudante, la doctora, la fisioterapeuta Nos repartimos entre todos y fuimos el equipier. -Felicitaciones, porque no son muchas las mujeres que se atreven a entrenar. Adems, por qu siempre tienen que ser hombres?
a clasificacin mundialista de Uruguay conlleva una peculiaridad: a su seleccin Sub-17 la dirigi una mujer, Graciela Rebollo. Parece obvio, pero la direccin tcnica estaba reservada casi exclusivamente a los hombres. Esto es parte de un cambio que ya se nota: las fminas comienzan a incursionar en todas las reas. Cada vez hay ms presencia de la mujer en su propia rama. Los partidos del Sudamericano fueron dirigidos por rbitras; hubo dos mujeres entrenadoras -tambin Chile present una dama en el puesto, Roco Yez-. La delegacin uruguaya fue encabezada por la seora Nair Ackermann. Y se vieron adems preparadoras fsicas, kinesilogas. Graciela Rebollo, estratega celeste, dio la sorpresa con su equipo al lograr el subcampeonato. -Siempre le gust el ftbol? -Siempre me gust el deporte. Y el ftbol. Empec como profesora de educacin fsica y de nia, ms bien por un tema generacional, mi padre sobre todo deca que la nena no juegue al ftbol, porque yo siempre acompaaba a mis hermanos al baby futbol y robaba las pelotas de al lado de la cancha para pegarle y hacer jueguitos. -Una familia futbolera -En si el uruguayo generalmente es futbolero. Y despus, como madre, me toc tener mi primer hijo varn y llevarlo al baby ftbol, lo mismo que a la segunda nena, que tambin juega. Y bueno, de estar sentada al borde de la cancha tomando mate y mirando al hijo como practica deporte, a estar adentro fue un paso, y un desafo. Como todo ftbol infantil es amateur, los otros padres me ayudaron y as me met. Desde hace diez aos estoy con inferiores y despus me aboqu slo al femenino por la nena. -Hizo el curso de directora tcnica? -S, hice la tecnicatura, me recib en 2009. Valid muchas materias por ser profesora de educacin fsica. -Esta es su primera experiencia como entrenadora? -En Uruguay estuve en Coln FC con categoras infantiles, en Sub11 , Sub-13 y de ah para arriba todo

ruguays World Cup qualification conveys a peculiarity: their U-17 National Team had a female coach, Graciela Rebollo. It seems obvious, but the technical direction had almost been exclusively carried by men. This situation is part of a change that has started to be noticed: women are beginning to penetrate into every area. As time goes by, there are more women in their own branch. South American matches have been directed by women referees; there have also been two women coaches -Chile also presented a lady in that position, Roco Yaez- The Uruguayan delegation was headed by Mrs. Nair Ackermann and we have also seen physical trainers and masseuses. Graciela Rebollo, Light-Blue strategist, surprised fans with her team by attaining the U-17 championship. Did you always like football? I always liked sports and football. I started as a professor of physical education and as a child, rather due to a generational cause.

The new Brazilian jewel
was present in all the matches of the won title in 2010, scoring 4 goals (she was then scarcely 14 years old) and in this competition held in Bolivia. She was also a U-20 champion in the tournament held two months ago in Curitiba. Despite an advantage in age, she has tremendous qualifications to improve her category and become a star. -I played the previous championship in 2010 when we ended champions. I was 14 years old, but this one was much more difficult. I want to congratulate all the other national teams that made things complicated for us. In 2010 we were not frightened, but it was different, even against Colombia when we were losing and luckily we were able to reverse the scoreboard. Luckily we were well prepared and we succeeded in winning the tournament. Your level is growing. Its growing a lot. In 2010 we won all the matches with a large number of goals. Now weve had matches in which we won by 1-0 or 3-1. You were recently a U-20 champion. Yes, it was good to improve my experience. I played all the matches, though I was only a regular in one match, against Colombia. What do you like of football? To play and touch the ball with the people who know the game. Who are you favourite footballers? I admire Sneijder, from the Netherlands. I like his football very much and he inspires me to play. I also like Neymar. I love to watch him play. Andressa was born on May 1, 1995 in Roque Gonzales, at the north-east of the State of Rio Grande do Sul and she states that she is a fan of Porto Alegres Inter. If anything was lacking in her amazing performance, she converted the only goal of the final. She advanced from midfield and at some 22 metres distance placed the ball at a high angle with a tremendous shot. Only one word wholly describes her: crack. Andressa naci el 1 de mayo de 1995 en Roque Gonzales, al noroeste del estado de Rio Grande do Sul y se declara torcedora del Inter de Porto Alegre. Por si algo le faltaba a su extraordinaria actuacin, marc el nico gol de la final. Avanz desde la media cancha y desde unos 22 metros la coloc en un ngulo alto con un tremendo bombazo.

Fue por muy lejos la mejor jugadora del torneo y seguramente ser figura en las categoras mayores, incluso a nivel mundial. Andressa Cavalari Machry, centrocampista y capitana brasilea de extraordinarias condiciones, lleva todo el ftbol envasado en su cuerpo macizo. Tiene el destino marcado: ser una estrella del ftbol femenino. Andressa es bicampeona sudamericana femenina Sub-17 al igual que Brasil, pues estuvo presente en todos los partidos del ttulo ganado en 2010 marcando 4 goles (an tena 14 aos) y en este de Bolivia. Pero tambin fue campeona del Sub-20 realizado hace dos meses en Curitiba. Pese a dar ventajas de edad, le sobra calidad para subir de categora y descollar. -Estuve en el campeonato anterior en 2010 en que fuimos campeonas, yo tena 14 aos, pero este fue mucho ms difcil. Quiero felicitar a las dems selecciones, que nos complicaron. En 2010 no pasamos sustos, pero ahora fue distinto, incluso contra Colombia bamos perdiendo, por suerte logramos revertir el marcador. Pero nos preparamos muy bien y se nos dio favorablemente el torneo. -Est creciendo el nivel. -Est creciendo mucho. En 2010 ganamos todos los partidos con grandes goleadas, ahora hubo encuentros que ganamos 1 a 0, 3 a 1... -Fuiste campeona recientemente del Sub-20 tambin. -S, me sirvi para juntar experiencia. Jugu todos los partidos, aunque en uno slo fui titular, frente Colombia. -Qu te gusta del ftbol? -Jugar, tocar la bola con la gente que sabe. -Qu jugadores son tus preferidos? -Admiro a Sneijder, de Holanda. Gusto mucho de su ftbol, me inspira para jugar. Neymar tambin, me encanta verlo jugar.

l cierre de esta edicin (10 de mayo de 2012) y cuando an le quedaban dos partidos por delante, Lionel Messi alcanz con la casaca del FC Barcelona una cifra astronmica de goles en el ciclo 2011-2012: 72. Esta hazaa le permiti superar el
rcord del alemn Gerd Muller, que en la temporada 1972-73 haba anotado 67 veces para el Bayern Munich. Que en ms de cien aos de ftbol un jugador no alcanzara tal nmero de goles oficiales habla de la dificultad de conseguirlo. En
este caso se realza porque lo ha conseguido al mximo nivel posible de competencia: en un club de vanguardia mundial, en la Liga Espaola -considerada la ms exigente del mundo-, y en momentos en que Espaa es campen mundial a nivel de seleccin y la

EN UNA TEMPORADA
mayora de esos campeones actan en dicho torneo. Al mismo tiempo, la marca adquiere ribetes extraordinarios desde el momento en que Messi no es delantero neto, sino un volante de creacin que arranca la mayora de sus acciones desde mitad de cancha. Desde su fulgurante aparicin en 2004, Messi destac por su gran habilidad y su tremenda velocidad, que le sirvieron para abrir brechas defensivas, para preparar y servir muchos goles a sus compaeros (encabeza tambin la tabla de asistencias con 29 pasesgol), pero llegando siempre a definir l tambin. La marca de Messi se comprende entre el 28 de agosto de 2011, cuando comenz la Liga Espaola, y el 25 de mayo de este ao, cuando se juegue la final de la Copa del Rey entre el FC Barcelona y el Athletic de Bilbao, o sea en nueve meses. En ese lapso, Messi anot tambin 5 goles para la Seleccin Argentina, dos por la Eliminatoria (ante Chile y Colombia) y 3 a Suiza en un amistoso, con lo cual redondea 77 goles. Sencillamente impresionante. Sus xitos los comparte todo el ftbol sudamericano, como hijo ilustre que es de este continente, y por tratarse de un deportista correcto y sencillo dentro de los campos de juego y muy discreto fuera de ellos.
t the closing of the present issue (10 May 2012) and when he still had two more matches to play, Lionel Messi reached an astronomical number of goals scored in the 2011-2012 cycle: 72. This feat enabled him to surpass German Gerd Mllers record, who in the 1972-73 season had converted 67 times for Bayern Munich. The simple fact that in more than a hundred years of football, no player has succeeded in scoring such a number of official goals, speaks of the difficulty in obtaining them. This case is especially mentioned because Messi has attained the highest possible level of competence, in a club of the topmost higher level, in the Spanish League considered the most demanding worldwide-, at the time when Spain is the World Champion at a national teams level and the majority of those champions play in the aforementioned tournament. At the same time, this marking becomes most extraordinary because Messi is not a pure forward, but a creative midfielder who mostly starts his
moves from midfield. From his dazzling appearance in 2004, Messi has made himself known for his marvelous skill and tremendous speed that have helped him to open defensive openings as well as to prepare and serve many goals to his teammates (he also heads the assistance-table with 29 goal-passes), and always defining himself. Messis marking is comprised between 28 August 2011, when the Spanish League began and 25 May of the present year, when the final of the Kings Cup is played between FC Barcelona and Bilbaos Athletic, i.e. nine months later. In this period of time, Messi also converted 5 goals for the Argentine National Team, two for the Qualifiers (against Chile and Colombia) and 3 against Switzerland in a friendly, with which he rounds up 77 goals, a figure that is really impressive. He shares this overwhelming success with all the South American football, as the illustrious son of this continent, because he is most correct inside the field of play and very discreet when he is in the outside world.

Y les responde: Bueno, tienen asueto el 8 de octubre (risas). El 8 de octubre lo haban declarado feriado los militares porque ese da se firm la nacionalizacion del petrleo. Fue interminable, llegu a mi casa a las 6 de la maana.
Oswaldo Ramrez ya haba sido goleador absoluto del Per en 1968. Y volvera a serlo luego. Fue el mximo artillero peruano de la historia durante aos, hasta que su rcord fue batido por Sergio Ibarra, un argentino (vaya revancha). Es el primer anotador peruano en la Libertadores y cumpli una campaa exitosa. Pero aquel 31 de agosto del 69 empez todo de cero: sus goles se convirtieron en mito. En 1985, el presidente Alan Garca lo nombr titular de la Federacin Peruana de Ftbol, el primer futbolista que llegaba a tal cargo, acaso en el mundo. Todo por aquellas dos corridas felices por la izquierda y esos goles que hicieron explotar de orgullo a una nacin entera como nunca, desde el Imperio Incaico hasta hoy.

Goleador de raza
A TOP SCORER BY LINEAGE
As era l. Resistido e injustamente maltratado por quienes slo amaban el ftbol lrico y romntico que Oswaldo no tena. Pero terminaban rindindose a sus pies. l era quien pona la cereza a la torta. Fue un goleador genial. Discutido y amado, nunca olvidado. Nos llev a un Mundial que lo encumbr como uno de los prceres de nuestra propia historia. Precursor del viejo romance entre la pelota y la red. hen he entered the field, even the wind whistled to him. He always answered this greeting by sending it home. Disrespectfully, a journalist had the courage to write:Peru will play with 10 against Argentina. This happened two days before our national team traveled to Buenos Aires in search of the epic of August 1969. That colleague named Paco with Landa as a surname, was the one who wrote such a suicidal title in the back cover of Extra. He evinced his anger because Cachito Ramrez had replaced the regular player Alberto Gallardo. Cachitos answer were two goals to Agustn Mario Cejas and the passport to Mexico 70. The same colleague, on Monday, changed his heading to Forgive me, Cachito, in view of the joyful explosion of a whole country celebrating their success. He gave up to the Heroe of The Candy-Box. The man of the year, the top scorer by lineage that made the great publishers take advantage of the situation to sell shirts, souvenirs, pennants, balls an even chocolate wrappings with Cachitos face. Left-legged, quick as an athlete, an untiring scorer, a titan who assumed his role and entered history. He put his signature to the strokes of genius of Cubillas and Perico. If he did not score a goal, he was not alive. He appeared at the right moment, like he did on that night in Montevideo when the U was fighting heartily against Pearol in 1975 for the Copa Libertadores. The cream-coloured boys were ready to sign the tie when suddenly Chumpitaz kicked a long pass and Cachito, in the air, without letting the ball touch the ground, kicked the ball from a 40-metre distance, surpassing the great Walter Corbo and converting a spectacular goal, when the whole country watching the match by TV cried to get Cachito out of the field because he should not be there. That was him. He was unjustly ill-treated by those who loved the lyrical and romantic football Oswaldo did not have. Nevertheless, they ended yielding at his feet. He was the one who put the cherry to the cake. He was a wonderful striker. Slandered and loved, though never forgotten, he took us to a World Cup that raised him as one of the leaders of our own history. He was the forerunner of the old romance between the ball and the net.
uando entraba al campo lo silbaba hasta el viento. El responda siempre mandndola adentro. Irrespetuosamente, un periodista se atrevi a escribir: Per jugar con 10 ante Argentina. Fue dos das antes de que nuestra seleccin viajara a Buenos Aires en busca de la epopeya en agosto del 69. Aquel colega de nombre Paco y de
was born twice in my life, once on March 28, 1947 in el Callao and the other on August 31, 1969 in The Candy-Box.
In the first one he was baptized Oswaldo Felipe Ramrez Salcedo. In the second one, the people simply called him Cachito, once and forever. Cachito Ramrez is the witness of how a football event may change a persons existence. Cachito is witness and paradigm. He was distinguished for his goals so much so that the famous Brazilian coach Did took him into account from his first summoning to the Peruvian National Team. The regular player was Alberto Gallardo, excellent left winger of Sporting Cristal, later on transferred to the Italian Cagliani. Cacho was the ugly duckling.
apellido Landa, fue quien titul tamao suicidio en la contratapa de Extra. Mostraba su enojo porque Cachito Ramrez iba a ser el reemplazante del titular Alberto Gallardo. La respuesta de Cachito fueron dos goles a Agustn Mario Cejas y el pasaporte al Mundial de Mxico 70. El mismo colega public el lunes ante la explosin y algaraba de un pas abrazado y alborozado cambiando el rtulo: Perdn Cachito. Se rindi ante el Hroe de La Bombonera. El hombre del ao. El goleador de raza que provoc que los grandes publicistas aprovecharan para vender camisetas, souvenirs, banderines, pelotas, hasta envolturas de chocolates con el rostro de Cachito. Zurdo, veloz como un atleta, goleador incansable, titn que asumi su rol e ingres a la historia. Rubricaba las genialidades de Cubillas y Perico. Si no meta un gol no exista. Apareca en el momento justo, como aquella noche en Montevideo cuando la U se defenda con uas y dientes ante Pearol en 1975 por la Copa Libertadores. Los cremas firmaban el empate, de pronto Chumpitaz le meti un pase largo y Cachito en el aire, sin que caiga el baln, de 40 metros le sombre el baln al gran Walter Corbo anotando un golazo espectacular, cuando todo el pas que miraba por televisin peda a gritos que sacaran a Cachito de la cancha porque estaba dems.

When he entered the pitch, the stands reproved him. The Peruvian footballers of the time were artists of the ball and those who were not in the same excellence of technology as them were whistled. Nevertheless, that historical afternoon of 1969 was totally his. One of the most important events in the history of the Qualifiers, was about to take place: Argentina and Peru were playing the decisive match for the qualification in Mexico 70 at the mythical stadium of Boca Juniors. Peru had never played a World Cup unless by invitation. The Incas were happy with a tie; the Argentinians were forced to win, though it did not seem a problem, since they had a great number of key figures and were coached by Adolfo Pedernera. An untimely tearing of Gallardo forced Did to replace him by Oswaldo Ramrez, a young winger of Sport Boys who nobody trusted much. The time came. Before a crowded and roaring stadium the first half ended in 0. The Argentinians began to get nervous. Suddenly there was a long pas towards the left side, the left-legged boy of Callao shot and nailed a dagger in the white-and-light-blue goal. Finally, the home team tied with a
54 G CSF
penalty by Abrecht, though it was like an aspirin that had no effect. Ten minutes later, once again a pass in the clear space, a shot by Cachito and another dagger in the Argentine net. When the match seemed to be agonizing, Argentina scored a goal with a final 2-2 score. Two fiery escapades of the Boys Wingsito and two crossed shots that froze The Candy-box. Cachito attained a miracle: he made his country mute and Argentina burst because it was eliminated of a World Cup for the first time in its history. In Peru, millions of fans went happily to the streets, moved by an uncontrollable emotion.
It was a marvelous era of Peruvian football. When the Qualifiers were about to begin, the coach called 45 players. All of them were very good and the press complained if 4 or 5 that were good had been left out. Today you can hardly get ten. What excellent times! For you to have an idea, in 1966 we made our debut in First Division, Tefilo Cubillas in Alianza, Percy Rojas in the U and myself in the Boys.
What was that of The Candy-box, Cacho? Ufff.... I was a substitute and I didnt know if I was going to play, because Gallardo was injured in the match against Bolivia here in Lima and Zegarra entered in his place. But with Gallardo, the regular player in the left point, instead of competing or being angry, we were very good teammates. Whenever the loudspeakers mentioned the team, the people cheered them all. Chumpitaz: Goood!, Perico Len: Goooood!, Cubillas: Goooood!, When they got to Gallardo or me: Uuuuuuhhhhhh...! booing, whistling. I said: Alberto, lets change all this. When you play, Im going to put down everything you do right and what you do wrong and when I play, you mark what I must improve. We talked it over and we helped each other. When we got to the match with Argentina, Alberto was injured and it was him who told the coach: Do what I tell you, put Cacho for he has improved a lot. In the last training session before the game, we did it right there at The Candy-Box and I scored two equal goals to Dimas Zegarra. You were ready That Sunday morning we
were concentrated in La Candela, Bocas Sport Centre and we wanted to go to mass, but Waldir was against it. Nobody gets out from here, he said. He wanted to avoid problems. You know, the Argentine fans are different from all others in many parts of America. So they brought a priest and he was so good that we invited him to stay and eat with us and then he went with us to the pitch in the bus. He sat by my side and told me: Are you the one that is making his debut?. Be careful, for Gallo will mark you with his crest I answered, Father, Ive eaten them crest and all. I was sure of myself. At the end of the match, I dont know what he did, but he passed in between a crowd, got to the dressing-rooms and said: You were right, you ate him with crest and all. Luis Gregorio Gallo was an excellent half, strong and firm in marking. Yes, but I admit that Im not an exquisite of football, but I had two virtues that for me were very important. I had a tremendous speed and I knew how to define, One day, Waldir called me in the concentration and said: Cachito, you are erring many goals, but once you correct that error, youre going to give many satisfactions to Peru. You, with only 22 years of age, you flied. Look, the first half ended 0-0 and in the rest time Julio Naters of Boys leader, comes to the dressing-rooms and says: Milkman, when are you going to score? They called me Milkman because they said I was lucky. I answered: Dont bother me, what number do you see in my back? 22Do you see it? That means two goals in the second half. It was a joke for I didnt even dream of converting. What did Did order you all? He called the forwards before we started and said: Change you positions. Cacho, you go to the right, Baylon in the centre and Perico (Len) delayed. Lets confuse them. After ten minutes each one goes to his
place. For the second half, he said Be quiet. We are all right, they are getting desperate and now they will be more desperate even? Waldir was very talented. He was tranquil, smoked and looked, he never shouted or made gestures, none of that.
Cachito has a memory that would be envied by a flock of elephants, He remembers every detail with absolute precision. What were the goals like? In the first one, there was a rejection from our area. I stopped the ball with my chest, then I
Chale and kicked it from there. Chale sent it far but Perfumo neutralized it. He advanced with the ball and kicked far, Chale got his leg in, it bounced and fell on my left. I had Gallo on one side and Perfumo on the other, so I turned round and went straight to the goal and when Cejas appeared I touched it softly on top. Cejas flew backwards, but failed. The ball entered bouncing, bouncing. The boy gathering the balls behind the net held his head; I havent forgotten him. I gave him my shirt at the end of the match. He kept on asking me for it and I finally gave it to him. What was the publics reaction at the final?
El reencuentro de dos grandes del gol. Seis aos despus de la clasicacin al Mundial de Mxico, Hugo Sotil deni la nal que le dio a Per la Copa Amrica 1975. Two great goal stars meet again. Six years after his qualication to Mexicos World Cup, Hugo Sotil dened the nal that gave Peru the 1975 Copa Amrica.
passed it to Nene (Cubillas) and I started to get it back. Nene threw it to me rather strongly and Gallo stopped it, he moved a little ahead just when I was passing at full speed. I took it and started to run. When Mario Cejas appeared I pretended to go to the middle, he bent towards that side and I touched the first post. But you had a tie. Yes, with a non-existing penalty. But, they argued and I told Hormazbal (Rafael, the referee): You know that it was not a penalty.Yes, he replied, but do you want them to kill us? Then, the second came. Tell us how. I kicked it and passed it to
No, everything was fine. Look, you must put up with the Argentine fan before and during the match, but when it is over, he is not longer a problem. We left in the bus and they told us: All of you on the floor, because they may break the windows. We threw ourselves on the floor and nothing happened. We heard some clapping and it was for us and from the floor, we got up and lifted our hands to greet them through the windows. Finally we saw that everything was quiet and we sat down without any inconvenience whatsoever. We imagine your arrival in Lima.
Ufff, look, we returned on Tuesday. There was an impressive crowd at the airport and hundreds of policemen to keep everything under control. Nevertheless, as soon as the plane door was opened, the people were uncontrollable and they swept away with the operation. But this is normal after a great conquest. What was really impressive was our going to the Government House. Unbelievable? We were sent in an open car each and we marched as in a caravan greeting thousands of fans gathered on both sides of the street, by Fawcett Avenue, the Colonial Avenue, San Martn Square, Unin, until we reached the Palace that was also crowded. This was something new never seen before in Peru. We arrived at airport at nine and a quarter at night and we got to the Presidential Palace at one and a half of the next morning. And you were the hero, Cacho Its difficult to explain that moment I think that I was predestined. We were wearing suits and white shirts. The cuffs of my shirt turned black, because the people caught me by them At four and a half of the morning they presented us the sport laurels in front of a multitude. The people began to shout: Holi-day Ho-li-day. They wanted to keep on celebrating on the next day. The President General Juan Velasco Alvarado asked them, smiling: Do you want a holiday? Yesssssssssssssssssss! shouted the crowd. And he answered: All right, you have a holiday on October 8 (laughter). October 8 had been declared a holiday by the military because on that day they had signed the nationalization of oil. It was a never-ending celebration and I got home at 6 oclock in the morning.
Oswaldo Ramrez had been the absolute striker of Peru in 1968 and he was to be it again. He was the Peruvian topmost top
scorer in history during many years until his record was beaten by Sergio Ibarra, an Argentinian, He was the first scorer in the Libertadores and he fulfilled a successful campaign, but that August 31 of 1969 was when everything started from nothing and his goals became a real myth. In 1985, President Alan Garca appointed him member of the Peruvian Football Federation, the first footballer that held that office perhaps in the whole world. Everything was due to those two happy runs along the left side and those goals that made a whole nation burst with pride as never before from the Inca empire until the present day.

Hincha, jugador, presidente de barra, tcnico, gerente, directivo, comentarista, comisario, asesor internacional, dirigente de la CONMEBOL y de la FIFA, comparte sus visiones originales en el libro Mi vida es una pasin redonda, surgido de sus conversaciones con el periodista Marcelo Simonetti y editado en Chile por el Cedep, Centro de Estudios del Deporte, de Chile (www.cedep.cl). Las siguientes son algunas de sus historias, una ventana al atrayente recorrido de 274 pginas. Yo tena cinco aos cuando mi hermano escuchaba las transmisiones de ftbol de Santiago. Ah me empieza a quedar una cosa grabada: Catlica! Catlica!. Ese grito comienza a producirme una especie de obsesin y sueo con la posibilidad de llegar un da a Santiago y ver con mis propios ojos esa historia que el relator me cuenta a travs del aparato. Para m Sergio Livingstone era Catlica. Me preguntaba por qu le decan Sapo, hasta llegu a pensar que se era su nombre. Hasta que lo vi atajar. Saltaba y recoga las piernas igual que un sapo. Cuando era un poco ms grande iba al estadio Independencia a los entrenamientos, me ubicaba justo detrs del arco de Livingstone, el arco de mi dolo. Jos Manuel Moreno era un monstruo, un jugador talentossimo. Cuando me preguntan por el

clubes, el que me llam ms la atencin fue el Dnamo de Mosc, que era prcticamente estatal. La Seleccin Chilena lleg a Berln para jugar en Alemania Oriental y nadie la estaba esperando. Hemos hecho parar un bus para que los llevara a la estacin. Los muchachos quedaron tan agradecidos que me pidieron que me quedara con ellos. Era el coordinador de la seleccin cuando jug el desempate con Per para ir al Mundial. Fue en 1973, en Montevideo. Me hice amigo de mucha gente ligada al ftbol uruguayo, queramos crear un ambiente simptico para Chile. El da del partido la cancha estaba inclinada para los chilenos. Ganamos y fuimos al Mundial. Pepe Salm, medio en serio, me dijo: T nos ganaste ese partido. Qu fuiste a hacer 15 das antes a Montevideo?.
EL ORGANIZADOR QUE LLEGA AL FTBOL Aprovech los viajes que tena que hacer al sur vendiendo los artculos del negocio de mi padre, para organizar una gira del equipo juvenil de Catlica.

ver since he was born in Chilln, on July 1, 1937, Alfredo Asfura lived football in multiple roles. Fan, player, group president, coach, leader, commentator, commissioner, international advisor, leader of CONMEBOL and FIFA, he shares his original visions in the book My life is a round passion. Surged from his conversations with the journalist Marcelo Simonetti and edited in Chile by CEDEP, Centre of Sport Studies (www.cedep.cl). The following are some of its stories, a window to an enticing route of 274 pages. I was five years old when my brother listened to football broadcastings from Santiago. It was then when this thing began to be engraved in my spirit: Catlica!, Catlica!. That cry began to turn into an obsession and I dreamt of the possibility of one day getting to Santiago and see with my own eyes that history the narrator told me through a microphone. For me, Sergio Livingstone was Catlica. I wondered why they called him Toad, and I even thought that such was his name, until I saw him save a shot. He
jumped and put his legs up like a toad. When I was a little older, I used to go to the Independencia stadium to watch the players trainings and I placed myself just behind Livingstone goal, my idols goal. Jos Manuel Moreno was a monster, a very talented player. When they ask me for the best player worldwide, with the pardon of Pel, Maradona and Puskas, for me, it was Moreno. I played as right half and stayed behind, without passing the midfield. I was a terrible marker, my legs are full of marks. I was never a technical player, though I was very strong and brave.
THE ORGANIZER GOT TO FOOTBALL I took advantage of the trips I had to do to sell some articles from my fathers shop, to organize a tour for Catlicas juvenile team. It was so well organized that Fernando Riera asked me if I had prepared it for the main team. We signed contracts with all the rivals. Afterwards, I became the coach of one of the lower divisions and prepared Leopoldo Vallejos,
Chiles goalkeeper in Germany 74. I then became a secretary and was connected in a direct way with Riera. During the 1968 Copa Libertadores, we had to go to play in So Paulo. We made a scale in Buenos Aires and Antonio Liberti, Rivers President appeared with a bag in which he had 70 thousand dollars. He wanted to hire the services of Julio Gallardo, but Riera was against it, because he said he was a key figure. I made 36 tours with teams and the Chilean National team. I know 129 countries. I was Catlicas general manager and coordinator of clubs for the Central Association. I traveled to Europe during nine months visiting clubs and the one that mostly called my attention was Moscows Dinamo, that was practically state-owned. The Chilean National Team arrived at Berlin to play in Eastern Germany and nobody was waiting for them. We had to stop a bus to take them to the station. The boys were so thankful towards me that they asked me to stay with them. I was the national teams coordinator when they had a play-off with Peru to go to the World Cup. It was in 1973, in Montevideo. I became friends with many people connected with Uruguayan football. We wanted to create a warming atmosphere for Chile. The day when the match was to be played, the pitch was in favour of the Chileans. We won and went to the World Cup. Pepe Salm, somewhat seriously said: You were the one that won that match. What was your plan when you went 15 days in advance to Montevideo?
WITH THE WORLD CUP LEADERSHIP We didnt do well with Everton in the 1977 Libertadores. We played against Libertad and Libertads president was my dear friend Nicols Leoz. We had been together in the World Cup 1974 Germany. When he traveled to Santiago, at the Federation they said to me:
Listen, go and look for your friend. The only one in the airport was I. I always had a deep feeling for him. When we went to Asuncin, he had to travel to the United Stated and he left me his car to take it whenever I needed it. Leaders like Leoz gave me spaces of privilege. I did not have a presidential status or the membership of an Executive Committee, but I was in that area. I refer to such leaders as Alfonso Senior, Ferdinand Hidalgo, Jos Epelboim, Tefilo Salinas, Pepe Salm, Augusto Moral, Washington Cataldi, Eduardo Rocca Couture, Gastn Angulo, Sosa Gautier, Juan Goi. I was a very young man. I met Havelange when I had to organize matches with Brazil and when he was elected president in 1974. I worked as commissioner in the United States World Cup 94 and he gave me my first participation as FIFA member. With Havelange, FIFA changed, juvenile tournaments began, womens competitions changed the
atmosphere. In this area Blatter was also important, when he became Secretary General. That goal scored by Salas in Wembley in 1996, when Sierra made the pass was the best in the history of Chilean football, for the way in which it was shot and against whom it took place.
My life is a round passion was presented on March 30 past in Santiago with attendance of great sport personalities. Here he told them another interesting anecdote.
occurrence took place. FIFA registered three members to the Congress by country and we were four from Chile: Francisco Flux, who was the president of the Central Association, Patricio Vildsola, Admiral Carlos Chubretovich and myself. Engineer Russo, an Argentine legendary leader that was like FIFAs arm here in South America and knew everything, fixed it thus: There are four leaders from Chile, but only one came from Bolivia, so we must not lose
American (and not a European) was elected for FIFA presidency. That night all the South American leaders went to celebrate, without Havelange. He had other obligations.
THE SPARKER AFTERNOON Asfura was in the line of fire on September 3, 1989, when goalkeeper Roberto Rojas simulated to be hurt with the flare in Maracan. In the same dressing-room he saw the worst.
HAVELANGE AND A BOLIVIAN CONGRESSMAN Before that German World Cup was disputed I had the opportunity of participating in a historical event in Frankfurt, namely the assumption of Joo Havelange as FIFA President. It was on June 11, 1974. It was my first time as member of Chiles Football Congress. I remember that Leoz was present as Paraguays delegate. A nice

our representation, I put you down as from Bolivia. Edgar Pea Gutirrez had gone from Bolivia and so I attended the Congress as a Bolivian citizen Before the casting of votes it seemed that things would not be easy, but when the votes were counted, Havelange had surpassed Stanley Rous. The Englishman had not moved much and Havelange had gone almost all over the world promoting his candidature. Africa and Asia in addition to America voted in favour of the Brazilian candidate. It was the first time a South
I told the players and Sergio Stoppel (Editors Note: president of the Federation at that time), this is a serious mistake. We cannot do anything like that, its in the Rules and Regulations. We will have some points taken from us and we are going to be punished. Lets go back to the field. But no one listened to me. In that sense, Orlando Aravenas decision that the team should not go back was fundamental. With any other coach we wouldnt have ended thus. We would never have generated such an atmosphere and the players, even Roberto Rojas, would not have dared planning an act like that. Not even with Pedro Morales, Arturo Salah or Pellegrini Asfura acted as sport secretary in these clubs: Catlica, Everton, Unin Espaola, Colo Colo and Huachipato, in addition to being many years in Chiles Football Federation.

l capitn de Independiente decidi regresar al club de sus amores cuando poda quedarse en el FC Barcelona. Sorprendente para la mayora, pero no para su trayectoria ejemplar, que ya haba elegido un camino diferente cuando rechaz una oferta europea a los 18 aos. Lder en el campo y en los planteles, tan rico en ttulos como en admiradores, regres a sus afectos para seguir marcando un camino, siempre convencido de sus pasos. -Cmo surge su relacin con Independiente?
-Mi abuelo materno, Antonio, era muy hincha de Independiente de toda la vida. De chiquito me empez a llevar a la cancha, ah fue creciendo el sentimiento hacia el club. El domingo era el da especial, lo esperaba con mucha ansiedad. Con los aos tuve oportunidad de jugar en inferiores y ms tarde el gran sueo de debutar en Primera y salir campen. Todo eso hace que el cario vaya aumentando - Qu jugadores admiraba desde la tribuna? -Haba muchos, el recuerdo ms grande es el Independiente campen del 94. Yo tena 13 14

Jug esos dos campeonatos de una forma impresionante. -Cmo se llevaba con su hermano Diego, tan identificado con Racing? -Cada uno hinchaba por su equipo. De muy chiquitos lo entendimos bien as, no tuvimos ningn problema, ms all de alguna broma. En casa ya jugbamos en contra y nos enfrentamos toda la vida.

lo haca ms especial. -Por qu decidi rechazar la primera oferta del Olympique de Marsella? -Era muy joven, tena 18 aos. A mis padres tampoco les seduca la posibilidad de que me marchara de casa, y ms a otro pas. Senta que no era el momento, quera disfrutar unos aos ms jugando en Independiente y si despus se daba otra posibilidad, se poda analizar de otra manera. Con el tiempo apareci y ah s sent que era el momento para dar el salto. Lo ms importante es lo que te dice el corazn o lo que siente. Entiendo que todos los casos no son iguales. Hay chicos jvenes que sienten que ese es su momento y est bien. -Pas algo similar cuando decidi volver del Barcelona? -Me dejo llevar mucho por las sensaciones, por lo que me dice el corazn. Y generalmente sale bien. Sent que era el momento de pegar la vuelta, a mi club, a mi casa. Y no fue tan complicado. Disfrut muchsimo mi etapa en Bar-
celona, ganando muchos ttulos, integrando el mejor equipo de la historia, con los mejores jugadores de la actualidad. Senta que se haba terminando un ciclo y que haba que volver. Estoy cumpliendo el segundo gran sueo: jugar mis ltimos aos y retirarme en el club. -Cmo explica el xito del Barcelona? -Primero, es un club sper organizado, se hacen muy bien las cosas desde arriba para abajo. Segundo, han elegido al mejor entrenador del mundo, con la filosofa del Barcelona. Guardiola conoca muy bien el club, la mentalidad, el entorno. Lo tercero, que es muy importante, es tener un gran grupo y grandsimos jugadores. Todo eso hace que sea un equipo posiblemente irrepetible. -Qu ms destacara de Guardiola? -Su capacidad es indudable, pero destacara la pasin que tiene para entrenar. La va irradiando da tras da y hace que el equipo sea el fiel reflejo de lo que es l. Un equipo competitivo, que est en
todos los detalles, que afronta todos los partidos de la misma manera. A todos se les da el mismo valor. Y supo ganarse, por su gran poder de liderazgo, su gran capacidad y por su manera de actuar en el da a da, a un grupo de jugadores extraordinario. Y convencer a tan buenos jugadores es el mayor mrito que tiene Pep. -Cmo influye que varios jugadores se hayan formado en el club? -Lo de la filosofa del Barcelona es una realidad, que no s en cuntos clubes ocurre. Todos los equipos, desde los ms pequeos, intentan jugar a lo mismo. Son ofensivos, con una posesin alta de la pelota, ordenados, prolijos. Y cuando los chicos dan el salto, todos esos hbitos los tienen totalmente asimilados. -Qu significa saber que Messi es uno de los once de su equipo? -Te da mucha seguridad.

HE STILL HAD ONE MORE YEAR IN HIS CONTRACT WITH BARCELONA, BUT HE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO INDEPENDIENTE: I HAD AN IMPORTANT CAREER THANKS TO THIS CLUB; I FELT THAT I OWED IT TOO MUCH. THE MONETARY SUBJECT WAS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT.
rrados, siempre Leo dice ac estoy y abre el camino. Eso est al alcance de muy pocos jugadores y l es el nmero uno. Es el mejor del mundo, posiblemente ya sea el mejor de la historia. Con slo 24 aos ha ganado todo lo que se puede ganar. Y dos o tres veces. -En Argentina todava hay quienes lo discuten -A Leo se le exige mucho, porque es el mejor. Pero en un equipo lo importante es el funcionamiento. Argentina en los ltimos aos no ha logrado ese funcionamiento, del que los beneficiarios terminan siendo todos a nivel individual. Obviamente Leo tambin, que es lo que ocurre en el Barcelona. La seleccin debe lograr un funcionamiento para que el equipo gane seguridad, que con buenos resultados se llene de confianza, pero siempre a partir de un buen funcionamiento. Ojal en esta etapa Sabella lo pueda hacer. El comienzo fue muy bueno, ojal con el tiempo pueda ir en aumento para que se llegue bien al Mundial. -Qu diferencias nota entre el juego en Europa y en Sudamrica? -El ftbol es un tema cultural, cada pas tiene su estilo. En Espaa la friccin est menos permitida que en el ftbol argentino, que en el sudamericano y que en el de Italia mismo. Es de pases, de mucha asociacin, rpido, los equipos tienen jugadores de muy buena tcnica y por eso se ven buenos partidos. En Argentina se corre mucho ms con la pelota, se juega cada vez menos de manera asociada y es lo que se debe recuperar. Darse pases entre compaeros e ir progresando en el campo para llegar al gol es la identidad del ftbol argentino.
Sale jugando, como siempre, ante Radamel Falcao Garca en la Copa Amrica 2011, su ltimo torneo con la Seleccin. "Ganar en Sudamrica hoy es muy difcil".

En el Complejo Deportivo de Santo Domingo, donde entrenan las distintas categoras de Independiente, el gimnasio lleva el nombre de Gabriel Milito.

cho y con el que siempre me sentir en deuda. -Qu le comenta a los juveniles que se acercan a escucharlo? -Que todo lo hagan con dedicacin, con compromiso y con mucha confianza, En la vida es necesario tener objetivos y cuanto ms altos, mejor. Pero a eso hay que dedicarle tiempo, sentir que es posible conseguirlo, que nada es fcil, que todo cuesta mucho. Si el deseo de ser futbolista profesional es autntico, las posibilidades son mayores. -Cmo se afrontan las lesiones, como las que tuvo, para salir adelante?
-Es muy importante la gente que te rodea. En mi caso, mi familia, mi seora, mis hijos, mis padres, mi hermano, amigos. Y tuve la suerte de sentir el respaldo de un club tan grande como el Barsa. Eso hace que uno pueda superar esa etapa complicada, donde he dedicado horas y horas para conseguir muy pocos avances. Pero al final la dedicacin termina pagando. Ms all de haber jugado en la Seleccin y en grandes clubes, el mayor mrito que me doy es haberme sobrepuesto a esa situacin tan complicada. -Qu se plantea conseguir en Independiente? -La ilusin de poder ver al
club cada da mejor, que recupere poco a poco el terreno que ha perdido. Independiente tiene una historia muy grande, pero no coincide con la realidad actual. Hay que ir recuperando esa imagen, que el club se vaya ordenando. Y a partir de ah, el deseo de cualquiera, que empiecen a llegar los buenos resultados, campeonatos nuevamente. Pero sin lo otro, va a ser ms difcil. -Cuando Real Madrid no aprob su revisacin mdica, lo hizo dudar del futuro? -No, porque yo estaba seguro de que estaba bien. No me hice ningn problema. Ir al Zaragoza fue una de las mejores cosas que me pas. Jugu cuatro aos, tambin ganando campeonatos, compartiendo con mi hermano, cosa que en Argentina sera imposible. Y a partir de eso, tuve oportunidad de jugar en el Barcelona. La pelcula termin bien. -Por qu se destaca el jugador sudamericano en Europa? -Ir a Europa es un avance no solamente en el tema econmico; en infraestructura, con el compaero que est al lado, ir a jugar en canchas increbles, contra jugadores increbles. Como estamos acostumbrados a tener cosas no tan buenas, uno trata de aprovechar la oportunidad y nuestra mentalidad le gusta al europeo. El sudamericano es competitivo. -Adems de Guardiola, qu tcnico lo ha marcado? -He tenido varios. A Jos Pekerman en mi adolescencia, en una etapa formativa y ha tenido muchsimo que ver con mi carrera. Me ha enseado muchsimas cosas no solamente futbolsticas, como el compromiso, la seriedad con que uno debe tomar la profesin, de aprovechar la oportunidad que a uno le dio la vida. -Va a ser entrenador? -No s, se ver ms adelante. S me gusta, pero como todo en la vida hay que prepararse y mostrarse a uno mismo que se tiene la capacidad. Me gusta el ftbol, amo mi profesin y en un futuro me gustara seguir ligado. Ser una buena noticia. El ftbol agradece ejemplos como los que da Milito cada da.
ndependientes captain decided to return to the club he loved when he could have stayed in FC Barcelona. It was a surprising decision for many of his fans, but not for his exemplary trajectory, since he had already chosen a different road when he rejected a European offer at 18 years of age. A leader in the field and the rosters, rich in titles as in fans, he returned to the land of his affections to keep on marking a way, always convinced of his steps. How did your relation with Independiente start? My grandfather on my mothers side, Antonio, was a stern fan of Inpendiente during his whole life. When I was a small child he began to take me to the pitch and it was there where my feelings for the club began to grow. As the years went by, I had the opportunity of playing in the lower divisions, and later on the great dream of making my debut in First Division and become a champion. All that makes your love increase. Who were the players you admired from the stands? There were many. My greatest memory is the Independiente 1994 champion. I was 13 or 14 years old. They also won the SuperCup. I used to look a lot at Pablo Rotchen, a central defender that had also surged from the lower divisions. He played those two championships in an impressive manner. How did you get along with your brother Diego, so deeply identified with Racing? Each one cheered his team. From a very early age, we knew that in that way we wouldnt have any problems, except perhaps some joke. At home we played against each other and confronted us during all our lives. We waited for each Independiente-Racing match and the fact that ones brother was on the other side, made the game even more special. Why did you decide to reject the first offer of
Marseilles Olympique? I was very young, only 18 years old. My parents were not very convinced as to the possibility of my leaving home and especially going abroad. I felt that it was not the right moment. I wanted to enjoy some more years playing in Independiente and if afterwards
return to my club and my home. It was not so complicated. I enjoyed my stage in Barcelona very much, winning many titles, and forming part of the best team in history, with the best players of the present day. I felt that a cycle had come to an end and I had to return, Im fulfilling the second great dream that
Euforia con su sello para el Barcelona. "En toda mi carrera he intentado transmitir el compromiso, el esfuerzo y ayudar en lo que pueda desde mi lugar". With his typical euphoria for Barcelona. Throughout my career, I have tried to transmit the commitment, the effort and help in everything I can from my place.
I had another possibility, it should be analyzed in a different way. As time went by, the possibility existed and I felt that it was the right time to give the jump. What is important is what your heart tells you or what you feel. I understand that all cases are not the same. There are youngsters who feel that that is their moment and its all right, Did anything similar happen when you decided to come back from Barcelona? I leave myself be moved by sensations, what my heart tells me. Generally Im right, and everything comes out well. I felt that it was the moment to
was to play my final years and retire in the club. How do you explain Barcelonas success? First, its a super organized club, everything is done very well from up to down. Second, they have chosen the best coach in the world, with the philosophy of Barcelona. Guardiola knew the club very well, its mentality, the surroundings. Third, it is very important to have a big group and excellent players. All that makes them be a unique team worldwide. What else would you remark about Guardiola?
There can be no doubt as to his capacity, but Id like to highlight the passion he has to train his men. He radiates that passion day after day and makes the team be the reflection of what he is. He has a competitive team that are in every detail and confront all the matches in the same way. All the players have the same value for him and he has won the faith and support of a group of extraordinary footballers thanks to his leadership and great capacity, and the way of acting day after day. Having convinced such good players is Peps greatest merit. What influence has the fact that several players were formed in the club? The philosophy of Barcelona is a reality and I dont know if it also happens in many other clubs. All of them are very good, but Leo surpasses them all. All teams, even the smallest ones, try to play in the same way. They are offensive and have the ball up high, ordered, neat and they jump. All those habits have been strongly assimilated. What does it mean to know that Messi is one of the eleven formed in your club? It makes you feel very secure. In Barcelona, the team makes you feel secure. All of them are very, very good, but Leo is above them all. In those closed matches, Leo always says here I am and he opens the way. This situation is not common and he is Number One, the best in the whole world and possibly the best in history. With only 24 years of age, he has won everything you can win, twice or three times. In Argentina there are still some persons who discuss about him. Much is demanded of Leo, because he is the best, but in a team, what is important is the way in which the group works. Argentina during the latter years has not attained that way of functioning, in which all the beneficiaries end being at the same level. Obviously Leo also follows the same trend and that is what happens in Barcelona.

En el Gimnasio Gabriel Milito, los jvenes cuentan con los equipos donados por el capitn. "Mi etapa de juvenil fue lo que me permiti hacer mi carrera". Gabriel Milito, at the Gym, the youngsters have elements donated by the captain. My career as juvenile is what allowed me to carry out my career.
the end, dedication brings a payment. Beyond the fact of having played in the National Team and in great clubs, the greatest merit I give myself is to have survived to that complicated situation. What are you planning to attain in Independiente? The illusion of seeing the club improve every day, recovering little by little the land it lost. Independiente has a very long history, though it does not coincide with the present reality. We have to recover it little by little, as the club puts everything in order. From then onwards, anybodys wish will be that they may get good results and championships, but without any
distinguished in Europe? Going to Europe is an advance not only from the economic viewpoint; in infrastructure with the teammate at your side, playing in unbelievable pitches. As we are used to not having such very good things, you try to take advantage of the opportunity and the Europeans like our way of thinking. South Americans are competitive. In addition to Guardiola, which coach has marked you most? Ive had several. Jos Pekerman in my adolescent years, a formative stage and he has had much to do with my career. He taught me many
The national team must reach a functioning for the team to feel secure, since with good results you gain trust. It is to be hoped that in this stage Sabella will be capable of doing it. The beginning was very good and I hope that in time it may grow so that they may play well in the World Cup. What differences do you notice between the game in Europe and in South America? Football is a cultural subject; each country has its style. In Spain, friction is less allowed than in Argentine football, the South American and that of Italy. It belongs to other countries with a great association, quick, the teams have players with a very good technique and that is why you can watch good matches. In Argentina you run much more with the ball, the players play less in an associated way and that is what must be recovered, There must be passes among the teammates and they must start to progress in the field to get to the goal for such is the identity of Argentine football.
In the Sport Complex of Santo Domingo, where the different categories of Independiente train, the gym
72 G CSF
has the name of Gabriel Milito. It was equipped thanks to a donation made by the captain, who prefers to keep silent. He simply says that it is a small collaboration as a kind of thankfulness to a club that has given me much and with which Ill always will consider myself in doubt. What do you comment to the juveniles who come to listen to you? I tell them to be dedicated and committed to what they are doing and to have much trust. It is necessary to have objectives in life and the higher they are, the better. But to that you must dedicate a lot of time, feeling that it is possible to attain what you want, because nothing is easy and everything costs a lot. If the wish to be a professional footballer is authentic, the possibilities are greater. How do you put up with injuries, like the ones you had, to be able to go ahead? The people around you is very important. In my case, my family, my wife, my children, my parents, my brother and my friends. I had the good luck of feeling the support of such a big club as Barsa. That makes it possible to surpass that complicated stage, where I dedicated hours and hours to get very few advances, but at
other thing, which is going to be rather difficult. When Real Madrid did not approve your medical checking, did that make you doubt of the future? No, because I was sure that I was all right. I did not think I had a problem and going to Zaragoza was one of the best things that happened to me. I played four years, also winning championships, sharing with my brother, a thing that in Argentina would have been impossible. Then, I had the opportunity of playing in the Barcelona Team. The film had a happy ending. Why is the South American player
things not only related to football as your commitment, the seriousness with which you must take the profession, and taking advantage of the opportunity life gives you. Are you going to be a coach? I dont know, I will see further on. If I like it, but as in everything in life you must prepare yourself and prove yourself that you have the capacity. I like football, I love my profession and in the future Id like to keep on linked to football. This will be a good piece of news. Football thanks examples like those Milito gives us day after day.

El 17 de abril fue un da de fiesta para el ftbol boliviano. No slo porque Bolvar gole 3-0 a Universidad Catlica jugando un excelente partido, tambin, porque con el triunfo, la Academia pacea clasific a octavos de final. Desde el ao 2000 los equipos bolivianos no lograban llegar a esa instancia. Bolvar haba sido el ltimo en pasar a octavos; y Bolvar fue el que acab con la mala racha. En la presente edicin de la Copa, Alecsandro (Vasco da Gama) fall dos penales en el partido ante Alianza Lima, hecho que tiene un antecedente en 1997 cuando el arquero del Minerven de Venezuela, Tulio Hernndez, le ataj dos penales a Antonio Vidal Gonzlez, del Bolvar. Por tercera vez en 53 torneos de Copa, actuando Pearol y Nacional en la misma edicin, ambos fueron eliminados sin pasar de la fase de grupos. Slo haba sucedido en 1973 y 2005. En el 73 , el Grupo 2, que integraban junto a los clubes brasileos, fue ganado por Botafogo; segundo fue Palmeiras, 3 Nacional y 4 Pearol. En 2005, Pearol perdi el mano a mano con Liga de Quito en Primera Fase, en tanto Nacional result ltimo del Grupo 5, que comparti con River, Junior y Olmedo. Un hecho indito se registr en el cotejo Arsenal 1 - Fluminente 2. En el minuto 87 el juez uruguayo Roberto Silvera sancion penal para Fluminense y expuls al arquero local Campestrini. Como Arsenal ya haba hecho los tres cambios, fue al arco el delantero Diego Torres, de apenas 1,71 de estatura. Pate un especialista, Thiago Neves, y Torres par el penal, echando el baln al crner. Nunca un jugador de campo haba tapado un penal en 53 aos de Copa. Roberts Rivas, arquero del Deportivo Tchira, ataj dos penales en esta edicin. Uno a Christian Gimnez, de Cruz Azul, y otro a Lidson, del Corinthians. Pese a ello, su equipo qued eliminado. El 5 a 0 de Deportivo Quito a Chivas de Guadalajara iguala una marca. Desde 1998, cuando empezaron a competir en el torneo, los equipos mexicanos slo una vez haban perdido por 5 goles. Fue el 5 de marzo de 2003, cuando Fnix de Montevideo gole 6 a 1 a Cruz Azul.

biante. Olimpia 2 - Emelec 3, infartante... Con el plus de que ocho das antes vena el cuadro guayaquileo de otro antecedente feliz e igualmente dramtico: Emelec 3 - Flamengo 2, ambos logrados a punta de entereza, de corazn y de fe. Ambos cuando ya se bajaba la persiana del partido, en ese momento angustiante en que uno tambalea sobre el precipicio de clasificar o ser eliminado. Es el tipo de victorias que hacen grande a un club, que conquistan hinchas nuevos, que despiertan admiracin y respeto ajeno, un golpe internacional para que el continente sepa que, cuando se juega contra Emelec, hay que cuidarse. Vale resaltar la actitud que supo infundirle el DT Fleitas a su gente. Y la encomiable gestin de los jugadores, que supieron sobreponerse al infortunio de los goles perdidos, de jugar bien y no ver cristalizado en triunfo ese buen accionar, de ponerse en ventaja despus de haber luchado tanto y que les em-
l narrador de Fox Sports gritaba Hazaa...! Hazaa del Emelec...! Jos Luis Quinez haba logrado transformar el sufrimiento en proeza con un cabezazo matador en el minuto 93. El Defensores del Chaco -repletoestaba sumido en un mar de silencio, estupor e incredulidad, casi atontado. Despus de un increble y trepidante ping pong de emociones, Emelec derrotaba a Olimpia en Paraguay 3 a 2 y clasificaba a octavos de final. El tcnico elctrico, Marcelo Fleitas, se arrodillaba agradeciendo al cielo, los suplentes saltaban y gritaban, el mdico se abrazaba con el masajista... Y a lo lejos seguramente habra miles de hogares guayaquileos y ecuatorianos revolucionados, sobrecogidos por la euforia. Emelec haba vestido de gesta su victoria. Uno de los hinchas emelecistas de ese grupito que se atrevi a ir Asuncin, de esos fervientes devotos que siempre creen y se pagan el viaje, ya no poda gritar ms, apenas se
tomaba la cabeza y lloraba. Se lo vea extenuado, el pecho queriendo estallarle de alegra. Lo entendemos, todos lo hemos vivido alguna vez. En ese momento se nos pasa por la mente, en segundos, una pelcula intensa y preciosa: la infancia, uno yendo a la cancha de la mano de pap, con los tos, los primos, los amigos... El feliz bullicio del estadio, las risas, las broncas, los recuerdos, los ttulos ganados, las fotos de los dolos pegadas en las paredes de la habitacin, las chanzas proferidas y recibidas en la escuela, en el trabajo, en el barrio, el hinchismo por unos colores queridos... Es la pelcula de nuestras vidas compactada en apenas una r-
faga. Y uno no sabe qu hacer... Si gritar, abrazarse, llorar o, como ese hincha, entregarse mansamente al cansancio que generan las turbulencias del alma, esa caa fuerte que bebemos de un trago y nos sacude las fibras interiores para dejarnos luego tendidos, exhaustos. Qu tendr el ftbol que nos pone as...? Quin invent este juego...?

paten en el minuto 92... El temple de volver a ir por la victoria cuando ya dan ganas de bajar los brazos y rendirse. Hasta los 88 minutos, Olimpia y Emelec igualaban 1 a 1. Con ese resultado ambos se eliminaban mutuamente y clasificaba Flamengo, que ganaba su partido a Lans 3 a 0. Justo all termin el juego en Ro de Janeiro y los futbolistas brasileos celebraban la clasificacin en el centro del campo. La TV emita el partido de Asuncin y una ventana reflejaba el sentir de los jugadores de Flamengo. Pero un inesperado bombazo de zurda de ngel Mena puso el 2-1 a favor de Emelec. Era triunfo agnico y clasificacin. Desazn flamenguista. El rbitro indica 5 minutos de descuento y a los 92, goooooooollllllll de Olimpia, 2 a 2. Estallan Ronaldinho, Wagner Love y compaa en el centro del campo, en Ro: entraban ellos. Un minuto despus, crner para Emelec, salta Quinez como un gigante y la clava abajo, lejos del alcance del arquero guaran: 3 a 2, delirio en Ecuador, tristeza infinita en las filas olimpistas y rubronegras. Luego vendra para Emelec el duro compromiso frente a Corinthians, pero esa es otra aventura. La hazaa est escrita en tinta indeleble. Estamos viendo un ftbol bellsimo, de goles y de situaciones infartantes en el cual todos quieren ganar. Salud, ftbol actual...! Salud, Copa Libertadores...! Salud, Emelec...!
La emocin suprema de una noche vibrante. El 2-2 clasicaba a Flamengo, pero el cabezazo de Jos Luis Quinez hizo explotar de alegra a Guayaquil. The supreme emotion of a thrilling night. The 2-2 score qualied Flamengo, but Jos Luis Quiones' header made Quayaquil burst with happiness.
ox Sports speaker shouted, Feat!, Emelecs feat! Jos Luis Quiones had succeeded in changing suffering into an exploit with a killing header at the 93rd minute. The crowded Defensores del Chaco Stadium was sunk into a sea of silence, astonishment and unbelief. After an incredible and shattering ping pong of emotions, Emelec defeated Olimpia by 3-2 in Paraguay and qualified to the round of sixteen. The electric coach Marcelo Fleitas was kneeling, thanking heaven for such a blessing, the substitute players kept on jumping and shouting, the physician embraced the masseur And far away there were thousands of Ecuadorian and Guayaquils homes thrilling with euphoria. Emelec had donned their victory with the mantle of a heroic deed. One of Emelecs fans of the small group that succeeded in traveling to Asuncin, one of those devout admirers who always believe and pay their trips, could not shout any more and held his head with his hands, crying. He looked weary, with his chest almost bursting with joy. We understand him, because all of us have lived
through a similar situation at one or other time. At a given moment, an intense and wonderful film passes through our mind by seconds. Its our childhood and were going to the football field holding our fathers hand, with our uncles, cousins, friendsThe joyful atmosphere of the stadium, the laughter, the bad memories, the titles won, the photos of your idols stuck in the walls of your room, the jokes made and received at school, work or the quarter, your fanaticism for the colours you like Its your whole lifes film pressed down in a sudden blast; and you do not know what to dowhether to shout, embrace a friend, cry or like that fan mentioned above, meekly accepting your tiredness, exhausted by your souls turbulences, with that strong brandy we drink in one gust that shakes out inner fibres to leave us afterwards totally worn out. Why does football leave us in such a state..? Who invented this game? In that magic instant we seem to be in trance, gone, enraptured. The only thing that matters is that epic triumph that may have been surprising, though dreamt and possibly unexpected This has happened to many spectators lately, because we are watching a volcanic, attractive and changing football. Olimpia 2 Emelec 3, heartbreakingWith the plus that eight days before the Guayaquil side came with another happy and equally impressive antecedent: Emelec 3 - Flamengo 2, both attained through integrity, honesty and faith. In both cases, when the shutters were being pulled down at that moment of anguish when you stagger along over the abyss of qualifying or being eliminated. This is the kind of victory that makes a club great by conquering new fans, giving rise to admiration and respect; it is an international blow for the continent to know that when they play against Emelec, they have to be especially careful.
It is worth while to highlight the attitude of coach Fleitas who knew how to instill it in his players, as well as the most praiseworthy performance of the footballers who knew how to surpass the bad luck of lost goals, playing well and not making a triumph with such a good work, getting an advantage after a hard fight and end in a draw at the 92nd minute,.. ; the courage of coming back for victory when they were almost ready to lower their arms and give in. Olimpia and Emelec had equal scores (1-1), until the 88th minute. With this result both teams would be mutually eliminated while Flamengo qualified, since they were defeating Lans by 4-0. Just then the match in Rio de Janeiro ended and the Brazilian footballers celebrated their qualification in midfield. A TV screen showed the match in Asuncin and the feelings of Flamengos players were reflected on a window, when an unexpected left shot by Angel Mena changed the scoreboard to 2-1 in favour of Emelec. It was an agonizing triumph that secured their coveted qualification. Flamengos players were desperate. The referee marked a 5 minutes discount, when at the 92nd minute goaaaaaaaallllll by Olimpia and a 2-2 score. Ronaldinho, Wagner Love and company gathered forces. A minute later a corner for Emelec, Quionez jumped like a giant and kicked the ball down, far from the Guaran goalkeepers reach. The score was 3-2, the Ecuadorians were delirious, while in Olimpia and the street bands sadness prevailed. Afterwards Emelec had to face a hard commitment against Corinthians, but that is another story. The feat was written in indelible ink. We have been watching a most beautiful football of goals and awesome situations in which they all want to be winners. Cheers, present day football! Cheers, Copa Libertadores! Cheers, Emelec!

l histrico Estadio das Laranjeiras, aquel que fue construido para albergar la Copa Amrica de 1919, es el marco en que el destacado volante se siente cmodo para conversar. All, en Ro de Janeiro, Deco maneja los hilos de este Fluminense que se mueve bajo lo que mandan sus pies y, sobre todo, su cabeza. Amable, reflexivo, se toma un tiempo para pensar cada respuesta. Tan sencillo como lder del grupo, pidi a sus compaeros que pasaran a saludar a los periodistas que esperaban. Sudamrica entera disfruta de su juego. -Qu significa para usted jugar la Libertadores? -Para m lo importante de jugar un torneo como la Copa Santander Libertadores es que, adems de darme la posibilidad de enfrentarme a los mejores de Amrica, me permiti haber juga104 G CSF
do en estadios mticos a nivel mundial como La Bombonera. Cuando termine mi carrera, se lo voy a recordar a mis hijos cada vez que hable de las experiencias que me dej la Copa. Fue un honor para m haber estado all, un estadio que todo el mundo debera conocer y con un equipo tan grande como Boca. -El gran arranque de Fluminense lo ilusion tanto como a los hinchas? -La gente tiene el derecho a soar con ganar la Copa como lo hacemos nosotros. Somos conscientes de que Fluminense no ha tenido la suerte de ser campen de la Libertadores y que el haber clasificado dos fechas antes del final de la fase de grupos es muy positivo para todos. Pero nosotros tenemos que ir sumando trabajo para que el sueo del torcedor tenga mayor sustento y el equipo vaya corrigiendo los errores con la humildad que lo hizo hasta ahora.
Tengo fe en que vamos a ser grandes protagonistas si seguimos haciendo las cosas como hasta ac. -Por qu es tan difcil ganar en la Libertadores? -Sabemos que en una competencia como la Libertadores una mala noche no tiene vuelta atrs. Y con equipos de la jerarqua de Boca es algo terminante porque ante el menor error te marcan la diferencia. En Buenos Aires nosotros golpeamos en los momentos justos y ellos nos crearon situaciones pero no lograron concretar y por eso logramos la victoria. Perder con ellos en Ro nos hizo recordar que ac hay que ir partido a partido porque pensar ms all te puede dejar sin nada.
El brasileo que representa a la Seleccin de Portugal tambin compar la Libertadores con la Champions League, competencia
en la que se coron con el Porto (2004) y con FC Barcelona (2006). A la hora de diferenciar fue claro: En la Libertadores hay muchos ms equipos que estn capacitados para ganar el torneo, en la Champions siempre terminan siendo los mismos 5 6 los que pelean. Y agreg: Adems de las distancias y los distintos climas dentro de una misma regin, creo que en Sudamrica hay mucha menos diferencia entre los grandes y los chicos, lo que hace que un buen conjunto que por ah no tiene tradicin internacional se le anime a cualquier histrico y le gane. El jugador sudamericano tiene una personalidad muy fuerte, de no darse por vencido nunca, y eso a la larga hace que todo sea mucho ms entretenido. -Lo sorprende que Messi siga rompiendo un rcord tras otro? -Para nada me sorprende el nivel de Leo hoy en da.

he historical Das Laranjeiras Stadium that was built to host the 1919 Copa Amrica is within the frame in which our distinguished midfielder feels at ease to chat. Right there, in Rio de Janeiro, Deco manages the threads of this Fluminense team that moves under what his feet command and especially, what his head decides. An amiable, reflexive man, he takes some time to think of every answer. As simple as the groups leader, he asked his teammates to pass and greet the journalists in waiting. All the South Americans enjoy his playing. What does playing the Libertadores mean for you? What is important for me is to play a tournament like the Copa Santander Libertadores, because in addition to giving me the possibility of confronting the best footballers of America, it also allows me to play in mythical stadiums at a world level like The Candy-Box. When I finish my career, Ill make my children remember it whenever I mention my experiences in the Cup. It was a real honour for me to have been there, in a stadium the whole world should visit, and with such a great team as Boca. Did Fluminenses excellent start fill you with illusions as it did with the fans? The people have a right to dream of winning the Cup as we do. We know that Fluminense has not had the good luck to be a Libertadores champion and that the fact of having qualified two dates
before the groups phase final is very positive for all, but we must keep on working, because the fans dream of having a better solution and the team must correct the errors they have with the same humility they have been doing it till now. I believe that we are going to be real protagonists if we keep on doing everything as we have done so far. Why is it so difficult to win in the Libertadores? We know that in a competition like the Libertadores, a bad night cannot be mended and with teams like Bocas excellence, this situation is final, because in the right moments, they gave rise to situations they could not master and that was why we attained victory. Losing to them in Rio made us remember that here you have to go match by match, because thinking further ahead may leave you with nothing in your hands.
Porto (2004) and FC Barcelona (2006), both won. At the time of considering the existing differences, he was quite clear: In the Libertadores, there are many more teams perfectly able of winning the tournament and in the Champions, there are always the same 5 or 6 teams who fight. Then, he said: In addition to the distances and
the different climates within the same region, I think that in South America there is no great difference between the big and small clubs, what makes a good side that may not have an international tradition,to feel capable of fighting against any historical one and defeat it. The South American player has a very strong personality that moves
The Brazilian player that represents Portugals National team also compared the Libertadores to the Champions League, a competition which

him to never give up and that is what finally makes the show much more entertaining. Are you surprised of Messis breaking one record after another? Nothing of what Leo does surprises me now. What really calls my attention is the ease with which he keeps that unreachable level in every match he plays. He has a fabulous rhythm and always decides in favour of his team in every match he plays, especially when they need him most. He is unsurpassable in whatever he does and is already the best of all those Ive seen inside a pitch.
Did you realize in his first trainings that Messi was different? In the first training session, he proved that he was not one of the crowd. Though he was rather small, he did certain things I had never seen any other player do in a roster that was full of excellent footballers. As months passed and once that Rijkaard confirmed him in the first team, Leo always contributed with positive ideas, absorbing everything you explained to him due to his experience. In addition to being a great player, he is also a fabulous boy and that has great
influence upon his present. Do you feel part of this incredible present of Barcelona, since together with Ronaldinho they started this marvelous era? In football everything comes to an end and I think that players are not eternal. Already at that moment I thought that I had finished my work in Barcelona and should change my surroundings despite my success there. What was important for me was to have lived that glorious moment, for me as well as for my club, and then I had to leave in the best possible way. What do Messi and
Dos grandes camisetas para una trayectoria excepcional.

With FC Barcelona (on top) he reached the top of Europe with Portugals National team (left), played two World Cups and is getting ready for the next Eurocup.
Cristiano Ronaldo have in common? They are two different players and the only thing they have in common is that they always want to play and they show up at the most difficult moments to solve their teams problems. Cristiano is very strong; I think he is the strongest in the world, in his finishing shot at goal, his header, whereas Leo is quality. He is never mistaken and that is what most impressive of him. Did you go back to Brazil to put an end to your career? Not that much. It has to do with something personal. I had problems with my family and I had to solve them in person. I still had one more year in my contract with Chelsea, but I was not working well because my head was in Brazil. Then I decided that the best thing was to stay here and luckily everything has gone well with Fluminense. Would that be the perfect closing to win the Libertadores? It would the best thing that could happen in my career and I do not have any doubt that it would be an excellent closing. I had the good luck of winning many important matches in all the teams I played and the Libertadores is a great title for Fluminense, because it would be the first they win. To enter into the clubs history would be the best thing that ever happened to me. I grew up seeing the Libertadores and the rivalry existing among the Brazilian, Argentinian and Uruguayan teams. Nowadays, the Libertadores has become something wanted by fans and institutions alike. For me, its a great pleasure to play the Libertadores, I played it last year and this experience after 14 years in Europe was indeed spectacular for me. What would you give in change if you won the Libertadores? (Laughter). The two Championhips.

a Copa Santander Libertadores es el evento futbolstico ms importante en Sudamrica. Juegan los mejores equipos de cada pas e invitados de Mxico. Es un torneo de muy buen desempeo a nivel tctico y tcnico, mostrando que en cada equipo se trabaja de una manera organizada, planificada. Los conocimientos aplicados estn a la par de lo que se juega a nivel mundial.
MUCHO TALENTO Los jugadores sudamericanos en cada partido ratifican la riqueza tcnica que poseen. Esto hace que muchos de ellos sean contratados por grandes equipos del mundo para darle mayor prestigio a sus respectivas ligas. Quiero destacar a los siguientes futbolistas: Rafael Moura (Fluminense), Matas Rodrguez (Universidad de Chile), Jhasmani Campos (Bolvar), Dorlan Pabn (Atltico Nacional) y Jorge Henrique (Corinthians). GRANDES EQUIPOS En el actual torneo he visto equipos con buen nivel futbolstico, nminas bien diseadas, un gran esfuerzo econmico de los diferentes directivos por conformar cuadros altamente competitivos y la asistencia de los aficionados es satisfactoria. Quiero destacar para ocupar puestos de privilegio a Fluminense, Universidad de Chile, Atltico Nacional, Vlez Srsfield, Santos y Corinthians. Son conjuntos conformados para conseguir el titulo y han mostrado buen ftbol, orden tctico y un deseo inmenso de ser campeones. La historia futbolstica de Atltico Nacional est marcada por ser un equipo triunfador, organizado y financieramente estable. Este ao conform una nmina competitiva con el objetivo de ser campen de la Copa Libertadores. Ha mostrado hasta el momento buen juego, caracterizado por ser ordenado tcticamente, pulido manejo del baln y eficacia en la definicin. Era un candidato fuerte para ser campen. Universidad de Chile es otro de los equipos que ha mostrado excelente funcionamiento. Sus jugadores en el terreno son disciplinados y solidarios. Son muy fuertes de local y de visitante han sacado resultados que lo pusieron como lder de su grupo, superando a su rival ms difcil, Atltico Nacional.

Para los pases, tcnicos y jugadores que hemos logrado el titulo de Copa Libertadores, es un honor imborrable en la mente y en el corazn de cada uno de nosotros.
he Copa Santander Libertadores is the most important football event in South America. Each countrys best teams and Mexicos guests play it. It is a tournament with an excellent performance at both tactical and technical levels, evincing that each team works in an organized and planned way. The subjects applied are at a par with what is played at a world level.
with a good football level, well-designed rosters, a tremendous economic effort of the leaders to conform highly competitive squads and a satisfactory fans attendance. I want to highlight Fluminense, Universidad de Chile, Atltico Nacional, Vlez Sarsfield, Santos and Corinthians in order to occupy privileged posts in 2012. They are welldesigned groups to attain the title and they have evinced their good football, tactical order and a tremendous desire of being champions, The football history of Atltico Nacional is marked for being a successful team, well-organized and financially stable. This year, they prepared a roster of competitive players with the purpose of being the champions of the Copa Libertadores. They have shown good play, characterized by their tactical order, refined handling of the ball and efficient definition. This was a strong candidate to win the championship. Universidad de Chile has presented another team with an excellent organization. Their players are disciplined and mutually binding. They are very strong as home team and as visitors they have attained results that have put them in a leadership position, surpassing their most difficult rival, Atltico Nacional.
MUCH TALENT The South American players ratify in each match the technical richness they possess. This characteristic makes it possible for many of them to be hired by the great teams worldwide to give more prestige to their respective leagues. It is a showcase for teams, coaches and players to improve their qualifications as they are observed by the institutions of Europe and other continents. I want to especially mention the following footballers: Rafael Moura (Fluminense), Matas Rodrguez (Universidad de Chile), Jhasmani Campos (Bolvar), Dorlan Pabn (Atltico Nacional) and Jorge Henrique (Corinthians). GREAT TEAMS In the present tournament, I have seen teams
FOLLOWING THE STEPS OF ONCE CALDAS In the year 2004, when Once Caldas, of Manizales, and not a very well-known side, attained the title of the Copa Libertadores in the home tournament, several aspects had exerted a strong influence: A team with a triumphant mentality Tactically ordered in the field of play Physically well prepared Unconditional support of leaders and fans I perceive these qualifications in clubs like Lans, Bolvar, Deportivo Quito among others. The foregoing proves that the distance among the teams called great and those called small, little by little has been becoming shorter. For the countries, coaches and players who have attained the title of the Copa Libertadores, it is an unforgettable honour in the minds and hearts of each of us.

RODOLFO RODRGUEZ
ue uno de los arqueros ms importantes de la historia del Club Nacional de Ftbol, destacado tambin en la Seleccin Uruguaya, en la que ostent durante dcadas un rcord de presencias en el arco celeste con 79 partidos, recientemente superado por Diego Forln. Parti a Brasil y brill en el Santos, donde es considerado como una de las estrellas de la historia del club paulista. Cree que ms all del xito actual de la Seleccin Uruguaya, debe comenzarse con una necesaria transicin de jugadores y ubica en su vitrina de ttulos ms preciados la Copa Libertadores lograda en 1980 con
Nacional. -Qu opinin le merece el actual momento de la Seleccin Uruguaya, tercera en el Rnking Mundial de la FIFA? -El ftbol uruguayo a nivel de seleccin lo veo muy bien, pero creo que ya se debe empezar a realizar una transicin con nuevos jugadores pensando en un futuro cercano. Quizs mi opinin pueda parecer negativa o de un tipo amargado, pero es la realidad. En varios pases, Argentina, Per, Colombia, Paraguay, e inclusive Brasil no se realiz con la debida antelacin un proceso de recambio de jugadores y cayeron mucho. Por eso entiendo que Uruguay, con este gran equipo de profesionales a ni-

-Uruguay puede lograr una medalla en ftbol en los prximos Juegos Olmpicos? -Pienso que s. Hasta el Mundial, nuestra seleccin fue una sorpresa, ahora ya no lo es, eso obligar a trabajar mucho ms intensamente.
de Uruguay para Londres 2012 -Debera ser. Es una muy buena oportunidad para evaluar jugadores para lo que ser la Copa del Mundo de 2014. En este grupo seleccionado todos los jugadores son muchachos muy inteligentes y buenas personas y creo que ninguno se va a molestar si los tcnicos les dicen en determinado momento que no sern tenidos en cuenta. Creo que todos quieren tanto a la Seleccin, que siempre van a mirar por el bien del ftbol uruguayo y no van a anteponer razones personales. -Cree que hay jugadores que llegan de divisiones menores con posibilidades? -S, sin duda, en Uruguay hay muchos y buenos jugadores juveniles que vienen empujando de atrs y los tcnicos de selecciones ya lo tienen claro eso. Por suerte para Uruguay hay varios chicos con posibilidades de ser utilizados en la seleccin mayor con su debido trabajo y en el tiempo que los tcnicos crean correspondiente.
Rodolfo est recin llegado del campo. Apenas dej el ftbol se volc a la actividad agropecuaria en un campo de su propiedad en el departamento de Durazno, del Interior uruguayo. -Lo sorprendi que los dos grandes (Pearol y Nacional) quedarn eliminados tan rpido de la Libertadores? -La sorpresa fue que Pearol llegara a la final de la Copa el ao pasado. Fue un gran mrito de Diego Aguirre, un tcnico joven y muy capaz que puso a Pearol en una final despus de 24 aos. Este ao esperaba ms de los dos grandes. En cuanto a Nacional, pens que poda avanzar de fase. Pero qued demostrado que los equipos uruguayos no estn a la altura de los otros del continente; en ese aspecto no lo veo tan bien a nuestro ftbol. -Qu fue Santos de Brasil en su trayectoria? -Un club muy importante para m del cual guardo hermosos recuerdos. Santos es como mi segunda casa, es una familia. Ir a Vila Belmiro o al centro de entrenamiento es como ir al Estadio Luis Troccoli ac en Cerro, donde surg. Hace un mes estuve en un crucero que organiz Santos por los 100 aos. Algo maravilloso, cuatro das navegando con dirigentes, ex jugadores y cerca de 1.600 hinchas. Compartimos momentos increbles y disfrutamos mucho de esa gran familia que es Santos y all, conociendo la realidad y la forma en que se trabaja en el club, uno se da cuenta por qu Santos ocupa el lugar que ocupa y obtiene los resultados deportivos deseados como fue ganar la Copa Libertadores despus de tantos aos. Santos
Campen de la preciada Libertadores de 1980, que lleva el capitn Vctor Esprrago. Jug en los 12 partidos de esa gran campaa y recibi slo 5 goles. Champion of the coveted Libertadores in 1980, carried by captain Vctor Esprrago. He played 12 matches in that great campaign and only received 5 goals.
hoy es una gran empresa, no slo un club de ftbol. -Tuvo contacto con los jugadores actuales? -S, claro, realmente es un grupo impresionante. En una de mis idas a Santos estuve hablando con los jugadores y qued sorprendido por la sencillez y la calidad humana de ese plantel. Hay muchachos que me saludaban y me sorprenda porque eran muy jvenes y me expresaban su reconocimiento y me manifestaban que si no supieran quien era yo no mereceran estar en Santos. Cada uno tiene muy clara la historia del club. Ellos se forman desde chicos viendo las fotos de Pel, Zito, Coutinho, Mengalvio... -Qu arquero le gusta del Santos? -Rafael, sin duda. Me animo a decir que es el golero del futuro en Brasil, tienen unas condiciones tcnicas muy buenas. -Cmo lo ve a Neymar, la gran estrella de Santos y de Brasil? -Es un fenmeno, un fuera de serie. Tiene caractersticas extraordinarias, una contextura fsica excelente y tcnicamente es de esos jugadores que surgen en el mundo una vez cada veinte aos. No se lesiona, parece que juega fcil pero es uno de esos que son difciles de marcar. Un jugador diferente, co-
mo Messi, y hace la diferencia en cualquier parte del mundo. -Piensa que Santos puede lograr el bicampeonato en la Copa? -S, no sera nada extrao. Puede porque tiene casi toda la plantilla del ao pasado y alguno que lleg que es muy bueno, como Jorge Fucile, que se integr muy bien al equipo. Un jugador con grandes caractersticas. En mi ltima estada en Santos estuve con l hablando y me pareci un muchacho excelente desde el punto de vista personal, inteligente, maduro y eso tambin hace que haya encajado tan bien en el grupo y la hinchada lo quiere, que es algo muy importante. -Usted fue campen Paulista en 1984 con Santos. -S, es un recuerdo imborrable. Tenamos a Z Sergio, a Toninho Carlos, Paulo Isidoro, Marcio, Serginho, un equipazo aquel. Le ganamos a Corinthians en Morumb. Ganarle a ese rival y en Morumb es algo muy importante en Brasil. -Cul fue la gran atajada de su carrera? -Creo que si se quisiera recrear no se podra. Fue una sucesin de cinco atajadas dentro de una misma y rpida accin. Ocurri en un partido contra Ro Preto en Vila Belmiro. Yo no s si fue la mejor de mi carrera, pero s la ms espectaCSF G 115
cular, de esas jugadas que no se dan casi nunca, Hace un ao la directiva de Santos me rindi un homenaje por esa atajada. Existen los llamados goles de Placa donde se coloca una placa recordatoria en el museo del club. Hasta ahora, nunca se haba destacado una atajada y me hicieron el honor de recordar esa atajada ma contra Ro Preto.
Arquero de excelente estatura, muy serio y de gran presencia anmica, Rodolfo brindaba una gran seguridad a su equipo, al tcnico y a los hinchas. En la cancha el Flaco no tena amigos, no te conoca, recuerda su compaero Waldemar Victorino para descubrir su grado de concentracin. -Qu es ser campen de la Libertadores? -Es algo impresionante, un gran orgullo que uno comienza a valorar ms con el paso del tiempo.
Cuando se est jugando, es ir pasando cada partido y como que uno no se da cuenta de la importancia de jugar la Copa. La Libertadores es muy importante. Hay grandes cracks o dolos que no tuvieron la suerte no slo de ganarla, ni siquiera de poderla jugar y cuando dejan el ftbol, afirman que el gran debe en su carrera es no haber podido jugar la Copa. Por lo tanto me siento un afortunado. Ser uno de los elegidos que gan la Copa es un gran orgullo. -Cmo define al Nacional de 1980? -Tena una directiva nueva, joven, seria, que daba respaldo al jugador, con un gran hombre al frente como don Dante Iocco. Haba un cuerpo tcnico nuevo y supieron elegir una combinacin de jugadores de experiencia y jvenes que funcion muy bien. Haba un equilibrio necesario para conseguir objetivos, entre los que tenamos tiempo en Nacional, otros ms experimentados que ya haban ganado todo en 1971 como Esprrago, Morales y Blanco, y otros nuevos en el club que aportaron de forma magnfica toda su capacidad, su entrega y su fuerza. Mujica, como tcnico, tuvo la sabidura de elegir a los jugadores justos. -Algn recuerdo especial de esa Copa del 80? -Algo impresionante fue el partido final contra Internacional en Porto Alegre. Fueron como 20.000 personas desde Montevideo. Cuando estbamos caminando por las calles no podamos creer la cantidad de uruguayos que haba. Salir a la cancha y ver a toda esa hinchada alentando fue un respaldo y una alegra enorme para nosotros. Sentamos que no podamos fallarle a esa gente. Despus, en Montevideo, en aquella noche fra y hmeda de agosto, un partido duro frente a un gran equipo como el del Inter, el recibimiento de la gente cuando salimos al campo, todo fue hermoso e imborrable. Ese de Internacional es hasta ahora el nico equipo campen brasileo invicto y es catalogado
como uno de los ms importantes de la historia del club. No era un cuadro ms que tuvimos al frente y eso enaltece nuestra victoria. -Seguramente su gran debe fue no haber podido jugar un Mundial. -Sin duda. Estuve cerca, pero a pocos das me lesion y no pude estar. Viaj con el plantel y puse todo para poder llegar pero no pude. Jugu tres Eliminatorias y cuando clasificamos para Mxico, en ese Mundial no pude atajar, son los sinsabores del ftbol. -Cmo ve a los arqueros actuales... al puesto de arquero con relacin a su poca? -Los goleros de hoy deben ser ms completos de lo que ramos en mi tiempo. Hoy no se concibe un golero que no sepa jugar con el pie, deben tener ms fundamentos tcnicos, podramos decir iguales a los del resto de sus compaeros. Es mucho ms valioso un golero con buenos fundamentos tcnicos. El cambio en los goleros se debe bsicamente a la variante que hubo de las reglas que han hecho de este puesto algo ms activo y dinmico. Otra diferencia con el paso de los aos son las pelotas. Hoy son mucho ms livianas y rpidas, muchas veces dificultan al arquero, esto tambin lo exige de otra forma. Creo que de mi poca hubo un adelantado en el puesto que fue Hugo Gatti, un avanzado, con una tcnica distinta y que hoy podra jugar sin problema. Otro tema que en este tiempo es ventajoso con respecto al nuestro es que los goleros cuentan con un entrenador especfico y eso es una gran cosa. Yo en Nacional no tuve entrenador y en la Seleccin tampoco, recin cuando llegu a Santos tuve uno. -Qu arqueros le gustan a nivel mundial? -Hay dos que me gustan mucho. Uno es Valds, el del Barcelona, un fenmeno, con unas condiciones tremendas. Y ac en Sudamrica, repito, Rafael, el de Santos, como deca antes es el arquero del futuro de Brasil.
participaron socios y exjugadores. El equipo ideal de todos los tiempos qued conformado con Rodolfo Rodrguez; Carlos Alberto Torres, Mauro, Alex y Leo; los volantes, Zito y Clodoaldo; los creadores, Robinho y Neymar; y Coutinho y Pepe los delanteros. Se aclar que la compulsa dej fuera de concurso a Pel por considerarlo netamente superior al resto. -Para m esta distincin es un gran orgullo, es imponente estar en el once ideal de la historia de Santos. Incluso me sorprendi que me hayan distinguido a m y no al gran Gilmar, que fue un grande no slo del Santos, sino del ftbol brasileo. Me siento inmensamente feliz por esto.
Rodolfo acaba de ser elegido el mejor arquero de la historia del Santos en una encuesta realizada recientemente por el club de la que
e was one of the most important goalkeepers in the history of the Nacional Football Club, also well-known in the Uruguayan National Team, wherein he held a record of appearances in the Light-Blue goal with 79 matches, a record that was recently surpassed by Diego Forln. He left for Brazil and shone in Santos where he is considered one of the stars in the history of So Paulos club. He thinks that far beyond the present success of the Uruguayan National Team, a needed change of players must be enforced, and he put the 1980 Copa Libertadores won with Nacional in the show-case of his most cherished titles. Whats your opinion as to the present moment of the Uruguayan National Team, third in FIFA World Ranking table? Uruguayan football at a national team level is fine, but I think that this is the right time to make a change of new players thinking of the near future. Perhaps, my opinion may have some negative connotations or it may seem as coming from a bitter man, but thats the truth. In several countries, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Paraguay, and even Brazil, a process of changing players was not determined earlier and they lost strength. That is why I believe that in Uruguay, with this excellent staff
of professional experts, it must be immediately made to prevent them from undergoing the same unacceptable situation. The Uruguayan cycle that played in such a wonderful way the World Cup and the Copa Amrica must be enjoyed to the utmost, though it must be understood that for some logical reasons some player will put an end to his time of playing and consequently, you must have one or more good men to keep along the right road. This is like a countrys economy. You must take precautionary measures and save while the country is going through a good moment in case afterwards you do not have such excellent possibilities at hand. That transition point may be Uruguays Olympic National Team for London 2012. It should be. That is a very good opportunity to appraise players for the 2014 World Cup. In this select group all the players are very clever and good boys and I think none of them will be annoyed if the coaches tell them at a given time that they will not be taken into consideration. I think that they love their National Team so much that they will always think of the good of Uruguayan football and will never try to change plans according to their personal reasons. Do you think that players from the lower divisions have some possibilities? Yes, undoubtedly yes. In Uruguay, there are many good juvenile players that have been pushing from behind and the national teams coaches know it quite well. Luckily for Uruguay, there are many youngsters with possibilities of playing in the senior national team in the due work and time the coaches deem convenient. Uruguay may win a medal in Football at the upcoming Olympic Games. I think it is quite possible. Until the World Cup, our National Team was a real surprise, though it is no longer so and hence, the team will have to work much more intensely.
Rodolfo has recently arrived form the countryside. As soon as he left football, he devoted himself to a country estate he owned in the Durazno (Peach) Department in Uruguay. Were you surprised when the two great teams (Pearol and Nacional) were so early eliminated from the Libertadores? The surprise was that Pearol got to the Cups final last year. It was the great merit of Diego Aguirre, a young and capable coach that put Pearol in a final after 24 years. This year I expected much more from the two great teams. As regards Nacional, I thought they would move to the next phase, but it was proved that the Uruguayan teams are not at the same level of the other teams of the continent; I dont see our football so well in that aspect. What did Brazils Santos represent in your career? It was a very important club for me and I have very nice memories about it. Santos is like my second home, its family. Going to Vila Belmiro or the training centre is like going to the Luis Troccoli Stadium here in Cerro, where I grew up. A month ago, I was on board a cruise Santos organized to celebrate their Centennial. It was wonderful, sailing during four days with leaders, former players and some 1,600 fans. We shared unbelievable moments and enjoyed the great family that Santos really is, and there, we saw the way in which they work at the club and you realize why Santos is in the place it is and attains the expected sport results as winning the Copa Libertadores after many years. Today, Santos is a great business enterprise, not only a football club. Did you have any contact with the present players? Yes, of course, they are indeed very impressive. During one of my incursions to Santos, I talked to the players and was surprised by the simplicity and human warmth they all had. Some boys greeted me and I was surprised because they were very
young and they seemed to have known me quite well and they said that if they did not know who I was, they would not be worthy of being in Santos. Each of them had a very clear idea of the clubs history. They play from a very early age watching photos of Pel, Zito, Coutinho, Mengalvio Who is the Santos goalkeeper you like best? Rafael, without doubt. I dare say that he is Brazils future goalkeeper. He has excellent technical qualifications. Whats your opinion on Neymar, the great star of
previous year and any other that arrived and is quite good like Jorge Fucile, that joined the team quite well. He is a player with great characteristics. During my last stay in Santos I talked to him and he seemed to be an excellent youngster from the personal viewpoint, clever, mature and that has also helped him to be in good terms with the whole group and the fans, which is also very important. You were a Paulista champion in 1984 with Santos. Yes, thats an unforgettable memory. We had Z Sergio,
Campen paulista en 1984 con el Santos FC, tras derrotar 1-0 a Corinthians. Un ttulo muy recordado por el club, que no volvi a ganarlo hasta 2006. Paulista champion in 1984 with Santos FC, after defeating Corinthians by 1-0. This title was well remembered by the club, because they did not win it again until 2006.
Santos and Brazil? He is extraordinary, different form all others. He has overwhelming characteristics, and an excellent physique, and technically, he is one of those players that appear in the world once every twenty years. He is never injured and it seems that playing is easy for him, though he is very difficult to mark. He is a different player, like Messi, and you see the difference in any part of the world. Do you think Santos may attain the bi-championship in the Cup? Yes, it would not be unexpected, because it has almost the total range of the
Toninho Carlos, Paulo Isidoro, Marcio, Serginho, a wonderful team. We defeated Corinthians at Morumb, and surpassing that rival in Morumb was something very important for Brazil. Which was the greatest saving of your career? I think that if I tried to recreate it, it would be impossible. It was a succession of five savings inside another one of the same and quick action. It happened in a match against Rio Preto in Vila Belmiro. I dont know if it was the best of my career, but it was indeed the most spectacular, one of those moves that almost never happen. A year ago, Santos leadership
CSF G 117
rendered me a homage for that saving. There are some goals called Plaque when a commemorative plaque is placed in the clubs museum. Up to that moment, never had a savings been so astonishing and they rendered me the honour of remembering that saving against Rio Preto. A goalkeeper of an excellent height, very serious and endowed with a strong mental power, Rodolfo offered much security to his team, coach and fans. In the pitch, he did not have any friends; he didnt know you, recalls his teammate Waldemar Victorino to highlight his amazing power of concentration. What is the feeling of being a Libertadores Champion? Its most amazing; a great object of pride you value with the passing of time. When you are playing, you pass match by match and you do not realize the importance of playing for the Cup. The Libertadores is very important. There are great cracks or idols who have not had the good luck of not only winning it, but also of not even playing for it and when they leave football, they stress the fact that the great debit of their career is not having been able to play for the Cup. Hence, I consider myself very lucky. Being one of the chosen ones who won the Cup makes me very proud. How do you define the Nacional team of 1980? They had a new group of leaders, young, serious, that endorsed the player, with a great man in front as Dante Ioccco. There was a new technical staff and they succeeded in choosing a combination of experienced players with the young ones that worked quite well. There was a much needed balance to attain objectives among all those that had time in Nacional, others more experienced ones that had won everything in 1971 like Esprrago, Morales and Blanco, and some new ones that brought all their knowledge, commitment and strength on behalf of the team. Mujica, as coach, had the wisdom to choose the right
118 G CSF
players. Do you have any memory of that Cup of 1980? Something really awesome was the final match against Internacional in Porto Alegre. Some 20,000 persons came from Montevideo. When we were walking along the streets, we could not believe the quality of Uruguayans that were there. Entering the pitch and seeing all
history. It was not simply one more side we had in front of us and that fact upgraded our victory. Im certain that your big debit is not having been able to play a World Cup. Undoubtedly, yes. I was quite close to it, but a few days after I was injured and could not play. I traveled with the team and did my best to do it. I played three Qualifiers and when we qualified
La Pantera en su hbitat, el arco. Su agilidad haca honor al apodo. Hasta hace poco el jugador de ms presencias con la Celeste. Una leyenda. / The Panther in his habitat, the goal. His nimbleness made honour to his nickname. Until recently the player with more appearances witn the Light-Blue shirt. A legend indeed!
those fans encouraging the players was a tremendous joy for us. We felt that we could not let those people down. Afterwards, in Montevideo, in that cold and damp August night, we had a hard match against a great team like that of Inter, the peoples reception when we entered the field, everything was beautiful and unforgettable. That team of Internacional is the only Brazilian champion team up to now and it has been catalogued as one of the most important in the clubs
for Mexicos World Cup, I could not save a shot. Those are the unpleasant situations of football. Whats your opinion on the present goalkeepers in connection with those of your time? Present day goalkeepers must be more thorough than what we were in my time. Nowadays you cannot think of a goalkeeper who does not know how to play with his feet and they probably have a more technical knowledge, equal to
that of their teammates. A goalkeeper with a sound technical foundation is much more valuable. The change undergone by goalkeepers is basically due to the change performed in the rules made in that position which are more active and dynamic. Another difference undergone with the passing of years are the balls. Nowadays, balls are much lighter and quick and sometimes they make the goalkeepers task more difficult. I think that in my days, there was a goalkeeper who was advanced for his time and that is Hugo Gatti, who had a different technique and today he would be able to play without problems. Another subject that is an advantage when compared with our own, is that goalkeepers have a specific specialized coach and that is very important. I never had a coach in Nacional or the National Team and I only had one when I got to Santos. What goalkeepers do you like at a world level? I like two of them very much. One is Valds, of Barcelona. He is excellent and has extraordinary conditions. Here in South America, I repeat, Rafael, of Santos, and as I said before, he is the goalkeeper of Brazils future. Rodolfo has just been selected as the best goalkeeper in Santos history at a survey recently held by the club in which members and former players participated. The all-time ideal team was made up with Rodolfo Rodrguez, Carlos Alberto Torres, Mauro, Alex and Leo; midfielders Zito and Clodoaldo; inventors Robinho and Neymar and forwards Coutinho and Pepe. It was made clear that this checking left Pel outside because he was considered totally superior to the other players. This honour makes me really proud. Its very important to be among the ideal eleven of Santos history. I was even surprised by this distinction instead of Gilmar, who was one of the greatest players not only of Santos but of Brazilian football. I am very happy for this special homage.

Romero se refiere a la Mutual de Ex Futbolistas de Santa Cruz, cuya bonita sede en un punto neurlgico de la ciudad recibe todos los das a un nutrido grupo de deportistas que no han perdido el entusiasmo de darle a la pelota. La sede y campo deportivo est enclavada en un predio de 18.000 metros cuadrados. La estrella es la cancha reglamentaria, con un csped impecable y sistema lumnico que ha servido incluso para prcticas de la Seleccin Boliviana.

organiza un torneo anual con 30 equipos de dos categoras: senior y supersenior. Pueden actuar atletas de 34 aos en adelante y el requisito es haber sido futbolistas en alguna categora profesional o de Asociacin. Los partidos tambin estn a cargo de conocidos ex rbitros, algunos de ellos internacionales, como Pablo Pea. En los distintos equipos actan cracks como Chichi Romero, Marco Etcheverry, Milton Melgar, Limberg Gutirrez, Luis Cristaldo, Platin Snchez, Daro Rojas, Limbert Cabrera, Juan Manuel Pea. Todos los equipos llevan el nombre de un ex jugador reconocido. El recordado Rolando Aguilera, fundador de la Academia Tahuichi, era el fornido delantero del equipo Edgar Lara. La cita es simple: hay que darse una vuelta cualquier tardecita por la Mutual, casi en el centro de Santa Cruz. All, entre el ruido de pelota y con aroma a parrillada uno se puede encontrar con aquellos que animaron tantas Copa Libertadores, Eliminatorias y Copas Amrica.

t is the best Mutual of former footballers in South America, so much so for its infrastructure as well as for its administration. An exemplary institution, says emphatically Erwin Chichi Romero, considered the best Santa Cruz player in the history of Bolivian football. It is not a small title; a substantial part of the talents of this Andean country have surged from Santa Cruz. Romero refers to the Mutual of Former Football players of Santa Cruz, which beautiful premises are located in a neuralgic point of the city, daily receiving a large number of sportsmen who have not lost their enthusiasm for kicking a ball. The seat and sports field are nailed in a property of 18,000 square metres. The reglamentary pitch is the star, with an impeccable grass and a unique lighting system that has even served for practices of the Bolivian National Team. It is surrounded by dressing-rooms, recreation areas, grill rooms and
steak restaurants, offices and meeting halls, the gym. The Mutual also offers a free service for injuries and cardiological studies to determine the members state of health. But the Mutual is not simply infrastructure, it is the point of the periodical meeting of almost all the former professional players surged in Santa Cruz or those that have remained to live there. Former glories of Oriente Petrolero, Blooming, Destroyers, Real Santa Cruz, Guabir, play every week an internal tournament and afterwards they remain to chat an eat grilled meat. This a confraternity that is not often seen. The Mutual, founded in 1979, organizes an annual tournament with 30 teams of two categories: senior and supersenior. Athletes with 34 years age or more are allowed to play provided they were footballers in any professional category or as associates. The matches are also in charge of known former coaches, some of them internationals like Pablo Pea.
In the different teams there are some cracks like Chichi Romero, Marco Etcheverry, Milton Melgar, Limberg Gutirrez, Luis Cristaldo, Erwin Platin Snchez, Daro Rojas, Limbert Cabrera, Juan Manuel Pea. All the teams bear the name of a well-known former footballer. The well-remembered Rolando Aguilera, founder of the Tahuichi
Academy was the strong forward of the team Edgar Lara. The date is simple, you must go any afternoon by the Mutual, almost in the center of Santa Cruz. Here, with the noise of the ball and the smell of grilled meat, you may find those who played so many Copas Libertadores, Qualifiers and Copas Amrica.

a voz de Alberto Sonsol suena desde hace 30 aos en la radio uruguaya, pero el 15 de abril transmiti una emocin especial. En el Parque Central, Nacional recibi a Cerrito, que present como lateral derecho a su hijo Diego. Fue una cosa nueva, yo estaba nervioso por cmo le poda ir a mi hijo en la cancha, no por mi trabajo. Estaba emocionado , cont el relator de Sport 890. Diego jugaba su quinto partido en Primera Divisin, como lateral derecho. Era volante central, con Javier Mascherano como referente. Fue muy lindo, era cumplir un sueo de mi padre. En el partido no te ests acordando, ests concentrado. Todo jugador suea ser transmitido, que te escuche la gente. Yo conozco un poco ms cmo se trabaja en una radio, as que me parece algo normal, pero es especial, repas el futbolista. Cerrito no concentra antes de los partidos, as que Diego almorz en su casa. Cuando iba a salir, Alberto comenz a aconsejarle que se cuidara en las barridas y que la pelota no le rebotara en las manos. Vos relat y yo juego, le respondi el hijo, que lo acompaaba a las canchas desde pequeo y conoci a los grandes juga-
dores en los vestuarios. Alberto seala que los nervios en la familia apuntaban a que a Diego le fuera bien. Me gust mucho que su esfuerzo de tantos aos se haya coronado. Verlo jugar en Primera con un grande, con mucho pblico, fue muy lindo. Me impact la cantidad de gente que se aperson a desearme lo mejor. En los das previos, la experiencia del relator se conmovi. Habl con mis amigos y todos me decan que lo hiciera como soy yo. Por momentos lo mencionaba como Sonsol, tambin le deca el nene o mi hijo, algn dale, Diego. La fui llevando como pude. Las diferencias entre Nacional y Cerrito se tradujeron en un 6 a 1. Diego cumpli, con mucha entrega y recuperando balones. Alberto quiere que se consolide en Primera. Su hijo se plantea metas a corto plazo, que ahora pasan por la permanencia de Cerrito en Primera Divisin. Con 23 aos recin cumplidos, formado en Pearol, Danubio, Central Espaol y River Plate de Montevideo, tiene tiempo para jugar en uno de los grandes y salir al exterior. Desde la cabina de Sport 890 en el estadio Centenario se escuchar una voz multiplicada en los receptores diciendo una vez ms: Lleva la pelota Sonsol, avanza mi hijo Diego, vamos nene...
he voice of Alberto Sonsol has been heard in the Uruguayan radio for the last 30 years, but on April 15, he made a special broadcasting. He received Cerrito in Parque Nacional, presenting his son Diego as right half. This was something new; I was very nervous because I didnt know what would happen to my son in the pitch. I was really thrilled, said the speaker of Sport 890. Diego was playing his fifth match in First Division, as right half. He was a central midfielder, with Javier Mascherano, as referral. It was very nice; I was fulfilling my fathers dream. When you are playing the match, you don think about such things, because you are concentrated in the game. Every player dreams to have his name broadcast to be heard by the people. I know a little more about how you work in a radio, so that it seemed to me as something quite natural, but the truth is that it is something very special, said the footballer. Cerrito did not concentrate the players before the matches, so that Diego had lunch at home. When he was about to leave, Alberto began to advice him to take special care of the sweepings and to be careful for the ball not to rebound in his hands, You talk and I play, answered the son, who had been accompanying his father since his early youth, meeting the great players in the dressing-rooms. Alberto pointed out that the commotion in the family moved them to think that Diego would be successful. I liked that his efforts after so many years would finally have a good end. Seeing him play in
124 G CSF
First Division with such a large public, was wonderful. I was surprised by the large number of persons who came to wish me the best. In the previous days to the match, Albertos words evinced his feelings. I spoke with my friends and all of them told me that he should do as I did. At certain moments I called him Sonsol, though I also said Baby or my son, and I even said come on, Diego. The differences between Nacional and Cerrito were made clear with a 6-1. Diego made his best with a great commitment and recovering balls. Alberto wanted his son to consolidate in First Division. His son planned objectives at a short term, which now pass with his permanence in Cerrito. With scarcely 23 years of age, formed in Pearol, Danubio, Central Espaol and River Plate of Montevideo, he has time to play in one of the great teams and go abroad. From the Sport 890 cabin in the Centenario Stadium, a multiplied voice will be heard coming out from the loud-speakers, saying one more time, Sonsol has the ball, my son Diego moves ahead, come on, my boy

Es martes 11 de diciembre de 1979. En el estadio de Vlez Sarsfield, estn a punto de definir la Copa Amrica de ese ao. En Asuncin haba ganado Paraguay 3-0; en Santiago se impuso Chile 1-0 y debieron jugar un desempate en Buenos Aires que finaliz 0 a 0, lo cual dio el ttulo a la Albirroja por diferencia de gol. Enormes problemas tuvo Paraguay en cada presentacin; el tcnico Ranulfo Miranda deba poner un equipo distinto al otro en cada caso, apel a la cifra rcord de 32 jugadores. Juan Bautista Torales y el mencionado Florentn fueron los nicos que jugaron los 9 partidos. Pero en base a un gran amor propio, al espritu de lucha de su gente, Paraguay los fue sacando adelante de a uno. Sobresalieron el triunfo 2-1 sobre Brasil y el empate a 2 en Maracan. Tambin otro 2-2 con Uruguay en el Centenario. Fue una conquista memorable del siempre ponderado futbolista guaran.
las Figueroa and Aldo Florentn, captains of Chile and Paraguay, are greeting each other in front of referees Ramn Barreto (Uruguay), Arnaldo Csar Coelho (Brazil, covered) and dison Prez (Peru). It is Tuesday, 11 December 1979, at Vlez Sarsfield Stadium and they are about to define the Copa Amrica of that year. Paraguay had won 3-0 in Asuncin; Chile had the upper hand in Santiago by 1-0 and they solved the matter with a play-off in Buenos Aires that ended in a goalless draw, thus giving the title to the White-and-Reds by a goal difference. Paraguay had to solve many problems at each presentation; coach Ranulfo Miranda was forced to put a different team in each case, appealing to the record number of 32 players. Juan Bautista Torales and the aforementioned Florentn were the only ones that played all the 9 matches, though it was thanks to a great dose of amour propre, that their peoples fighting spirit succeeded in pushing them up one by one. They attained a 2-1 triumph against Brazil and a 2-2 draw in Maracan, as well as another 2-2 with Uruguay in the Centenario. It was a memorable conquest of the well-balanced Guaran footballer.
