already said, or wrote, Román Iucht today: "The adjectives are exhausted, the words become superfluous. His headed goal by almost forty meters besides being a world record will add a scene in the movie of your sporting life. " And that movie often have ingredients that even the most creative of the writers would dare to dream. Neither Cristiano Ronaldo or Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ruud van Nistelrooy have not written in his script as a goal yesterday. Not many of the oddities that the race has left Palermo in the retina of all.
Yesterday's was another of those unforgettable scenes starring only he can. Boca earned after much. Riquelme did laugh, usually expressionless and his "rival" behind the scenes (though that smile and hugs after announcing they may be the best news that Boca can have today). He had all eyes were alight, expectant, on Maradona (even more, actually).
Within days the selection is going to define whether or not to direct passport to South Africa 2010. If you have or not even that, to cut nails in a playoff. And to the delight of many and nightmare of many others, Palermo begins to impose itself as the name of hope. And that was not in the script anyone.
In 2006, I wrote what you read below. It was after two goals from Martin Banfield, such as closing a week very special for him. Optimistic is entitled to that definition of Carlos Bianchi. And as optimistic fool that is unbiased and, yesterday in a split second and said "why not?
Palermo "saving the selection? many ask "Why not? OPTIMISTIC
unique history of Palermo from Boca reach students, preceded by a reputation as a scorer and executioner River. At first, the time spent and the goals never came, but it was the scorer for Boca in the first two tournaments won with driving Bianchi (20 goals in 18 games in the Apertura 1998), which is worth the call of Marcelo Bielsa to integrate the selection would play the Copa America in 1999. There for 3 goals, but has a horrible night anthology (and pathetic record) by missing 3 penalty against Colombia. Back from that bitter experience, his knee is broken and leaves many months out of football.
Will he return? Is it the same? Returns. And nothing less than the defining match of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores 2000. And it's a goal. A detail: the party was against River. From there to Tokyo, where he became an early riser executioner, no less than Real Madrid in the Intercontinental in 2000. After an unhappy experience would come in Europe (where he scored another serious injury.) Back in the mid-2004, apparently killed by his dark time in Spain, she has won 5 titles with Boca.
Palermo's goals not only are many: they appear at key moments to Boca. Capital but also at times for him. As in the lap of the injury against River. Like yesterday.
Yesterday was 2 goals against Banfield. The kind that often makes Palermo: hitting bitten, fishing rebounds. Scoring goals. A goal is a goal. The "unfairness" of football, may be say is that the stack is as good as Maradona's against England in 86, that these goals terrible than reaching the net on the rebound. But a goal is worth one goal and Palermo has 200 in his career.
Palermo is not a virtuoso. His heavy feet tall until it makes it look awkward. But he does not hesitate. "Optimist's goal" called Bianchi. Perhaps this is why: because no doubt, because not afraid of experimenting ridiculous or improbable Chilean bulky scissors. That's right: just nod like him in Argentine football. He headed goals, a penalty, hitting or entering it forcefully bit and falling. Made 200. Yesterday reached that number. Just yesterday.
On Wednesday August 2nd wife, Lorena Barrichi, had a premature delivery and the baby died a few hours later. It was assumed that Palermo would not play against Banfield. Be requested.
The TV was already crying on the celebration of each goal and when it was replaced.
There he is: the big guy who mock the fans of other teams, who noted with disdain the acute ward analysts, who broke his knee, which penalties in a pineapple 3 night with the sky and white, could not shine in Spain and broke up in a small collapse of a stadium in the first world. The pain suffered bigger last week.
in May 2000 that its return after a knee injury, when all it took for dead, Juan Sasturain wrote a wonderful column in Pagina 12, which is good to review now.
striker El Cid
The legend is old and beautiful, and is the origin of nationality and English literature. Ten centuries before Charlton Heston put on his coat of mail and the love of Sophia Loren that was much more beautiful than the original Gimena Doña likely, and because the Cid Ruy Díaz de Vivar-riding is the land of Castile. And the legend of the hero of the long reconquest of territory Christian occupied by the Moors who has the epic poem recited such as misinformed and secondary students, including a legendary victory. It is said that the Cid was great when not only did the Arabs feel the real weight of his sharp sword, but more so when your lonely, ominous ghostly presence imposed fear and respect the enemy. So: the last battle won by the Cid after death. His men, knowing the effect that their presence caused the Moors, settled his body on the frame of the famous Babieca and properly splinted, they sent him to face fear and disband take infidels with results still being felt on the map. True or not-what imported into After-the legend is beautiful. Something
, including the difficulty of verifying whether what is said is true or not, happen when within a few centuries, the legend of that wave front fake blonde and clumsy, and atypical legendary scorer, a dead live again eviction, fear and doubts in a magical evening. There will be the emergence (not announced less disturbing) the big hit to the opponents who suddenly silent in the stands and at the key moment was halted in the field. And it will be difficult to accept, and will be easier to think that it was not, especially as the goal in the last minute. Who will believe the legend of the Cid scorer.

UPDATE 11/10/1909
I said above. "Palermo began to impose itself as the name of hope." Yesterday
the first time the selection was far from playing well, but there were flashes of Aimar, Higuain, Di Maria. But lately the selection does not testify or for the heroic, does not give or to wait for a miracle.
And Messi is the best player in the world, but when you put the shirt of Argentina is a player of the lot or less. A sometimes annoying. Aimar free throws and had sent an arc so far appeared on purpose. Messi on the other kicked him as he was playing with a cousin of 5 years in the bow.
But the goal came from Pipita. And the relief was so good weather. Peru dominated us like a good team. And it started to rain. And became a deluge of rain. And the Peruvians made their goal. And time was fulfilled.
And all the scenery was mounted to the epic: the time spent, torrential rain, a corner that seemed wasted.
A selection that does not even wait for the miracle, is a player who can expect anything, that erre 3 penalties in a night or falling while becoming a hit, that goal a header from 40 meters and do what you did last night. Now comes
Uruguay. Uruguay is not Peru. But Argentina is Argentina. And Palermo, Palermo. We have much more to expect.
