Players like these enter the memories of the fans and never come out. I would even go so far as to say that there are football players designed/destined to defend a shirt that recognizes their historical identity among its attributes, regardless of nationality. If U If it is drama, it is neither a wall nor a pit. And if he is a player – with permission from Toto, Martinez, Leguia – he will not be a juggler: U will be more destructive than a goldsmith, more dedicated than subtle, more daring than a champion of kicks. . One who dives first to retrieve the ball. A mold that is not for everyone, Chile is filling today Rodrigo Urena.

A decision is expected by mid-2022. Even if things go well today, the risk is huge: Universitario decided not to renew contracts in 2020 for 15 first-team players, including some runners-up. Or precisely because of it. The idea to restore the locker room is based on two arguments: building the Centennial team a year early and finding other leaders with Finals experience and fire to fight for championships.
The first two names that emerged to sign were from Chile Rodrigo Urena and crystal steering wheel Horacio Calcaterra. Two great midfielders who met those requirements and, considering the highlights of their careers, played and battled. Calcadera paid off his three-year contract with Matute’s outstanding goal at Southern Arc. And a striking example in the Chile locker room: the first day he set foot on the Campo mare, he asked if he could do a double shift to get in top shape as soon as possible. “You don’t know what Rodrigo is. “It’s going to eat everybody.”, Jean Ferrari wrote to me on WhatsApp in December and we were all Googling his name. And him: already settled in Lima, he asks a few questions and immediately goes to YouTube and watches videos of Puma Carranza, who has elevated the wheelbarrow into a work of art.

“I talked to him today,” said Puma, who stepped onto the mat two hours before the star turned 27, before anyone else. They will soon forget about playing Chile.. Urena, in tears, with cement legs and a Chilean flag as Superman’s cape, returned the affection: “Noooo. I have a lot of respect for Sangha idols. But what he’s saying is incredible. They’ve accepted me so warmly, where I’m from, and they respect my customs. I’m very grateful. “I’ve got a centenary and three more years left.”. He then put on the face of someone who chewed out the protector again before heading to the ring.
Such players enter the memories of the fans and never come out.
