Eddie Fleischmann: He finds Valdir Sanz at Costa Verde, the threat of Roberto Martinez and not speaking to Mickey Rosbigliosi for 10 years | Football Stories | game

Eddie Fleischmann parks his car next to the heritage Acosta Park in San Ysidro. “I hope the tow truck doesn't take my car,” he says nervously, looking a little worried at his blue Mercedes-Benz in the distance.

About 50 meters away he sat down on a bench to begin his speech. He crosses his arms for the first question. Eddie arrives at the agreed time and says what he thinks, and his fierce honesty, he says, will cost him permanent criticism, even from his own colleagues.

Eddie Fleishman's Beginnings

His webcast starts in an hour, and we have time to chat about his career, controversies with colleagues, players and leaders, and serious events he's been through. We press play and begin the interview.

One of the many incidents that make Eddie laugh is the hot month of February 1997. Alianza Lima's historic record holder Valdier Sanz has had an unforgettable year. At the end of that year, the Blue and White became national champions after 18 years. However, earlier in the year, precisely on February 24, the famous 'Wally' scored one of the best and most memorable goals of his career. None other than the goalkeeper in front of him, Dida from Brazil's mighty Cruzeiro club.

Events with Valdier Sanz and Roberto Martinez

It is the Copa Libertadores tournament and the stage is the National Stadium. The attendance of 19 thousand spectators at least predicted the defeat of the blue and white team. The fans were not so confident that their team could defeat one of the highest ranked teams in South America. However, the night turned out to be so magical for Voltaire that the victory celebrations would have ended on the beach in Lima until the next day.

According to Eddy, on February 25 at 6 a.m. he was running in Costa Verde, and in the distance he saw the aforementioned soccer player, who had scored a goal in the nearby club's victory a few hours earlier. The historic record holder was in the company of two women, beer and loud music blaring from the speakers of his parked car.

The sports journalist thought it was an optical illusion and opened his eyes wide again. At that moment Valdir was listening. One of his favorite salsa groups is 'Hey Hey Camaguey'. The song 'Ya Para Que' was the most popular song in the clubs of that time. “We wanted to create a different world. But all in vain. Because we do not have the light of experience. Now we are paying for our innocence. Why? If there is no love. It's not worth persuading anymore. Everyone's on a happy path…”, says the most danced song of the year.

Eddie couldn't deny what he saw, and by that time his companion had also confirmed who had celebrated the previous night's victory in Costa Verde. Later that afternoon, Eddie revealed everything he had seen on a radio show he worked on. The next day all the sports newspapers reflected the fact of 'Amboy' to Alianza Lima's historic achievement.

Because of this revelation, Don Ernesto Sanz, father of Voltaire, puts a cross on Eddy. And threatened him that he didn't want to see him at Matute Stadium. Years later, Eddie wanted to hear from the protagonist the confirmation of the episode told in Costa Verde; That is, Valdir himself, but the player categorically denied it. “I have never been there. “It's not me,” the footballer would have told him. He's confused and laughs when I insist if it's someone else. “Yes, I saw it. It's Voltaire,” he says flatly.

Another story a sports journalist tells is when Former soccer player Roberto Martinez He threatened to beat. Eddie says the incident took place when Gisela Valcárcel's ex-husband criticized him for his football performance and lack of ambition to play for a team abroad. The former Universitario de Deportes player called him on the phone and threatened him.

“I want to meet you,” the midfielder, wearing the colors of Universitario de Deportes, enthused to him. Another incident Eddie mentions is when Luis 'Gudo' Guadalupe commented on one of his TV shows about an ejection he suffered in a game. “I said what a criminal entry by Guto' Guadalupe,” Eddie said.

However, they told 'Guto' that Yeti described him as a criminal. In this way, the sports journalist says with a laugh that 'Guto' wanted to beat up one of his reporters. “I want to meet Colorado because I'm a criminal, he can't say I'm a criminal,” said the former football player. However, after making him watch a video on the truth statements, 'Guto' understood that it was a misunderstanding.

“I wanted to go back, it seems, haha,” Eddie saidA few weeks ago he met 'Cuto' in Ferreñafe (Lambayeque) at a reunion of former players of the 2011 champion team Juan Aurich. “Everything is fine in Couto. “Everything was clear” Dice.

On a park bench near Eddie's house, the conversation continues with a chorus of birds as a musical background.Eddy also recalls his discussion with Alfredo González, the controversial former president of the Universitario de Deportes. At the same time he had a fight with former Argentine football player and coach Carlos Salvador Bilardo for making him wait and not giving him an interview.

The sports journalist responds with great confidence to what he thinks, and doesn't hesitate to remember offensive comments made to him by the remembered sports journalist Mickey Rospigliosi.

“Marmelaro, he called me, but the truth is, I didn't understand what it meant. He said he had support from the federation, that he was a patron of Delfino or a follower of Manuel Burca or something like that. I say this completely naturally because I don't have a straw tail. I can see all the leaders, all the players, all the coaches, all the journalists in the Peruvian sports environment. I have nothing to be shy about and can look everyone in the eye without feeling awkward or uncomfortable,” says Eddie.

His internet game show is just minutes away from the talk. The famous 'Colorado' says he hasn't spoken to Mickey Rosbigliosi for ten years And she only did so when she visited him in the hospital because of his delicate health.

Eddy, which team are you on?

I have been a part of many teams throughout my life because I went to the field with my older brothers from a young age. The first team I played for was at the Universitario in 1975. The U of Oblitas, Sumpitas, 'Cachito' Ramirez. Then it was Cubillas, Cueto, La Rosa and then Alianza Lima with Cristal de Uribe and Roberto Mosquera.
