It was always vox popul that the dream of Ezequiel Lavezzi (35 years old) would have been to finish his sports career at Central. El Pocho would have given even what he did not have to fulfill the wish of his son Tomás to see him in the rogue shirt. But fate indicated another way for the good-natured kid who formed in the inferiors of Coronel Aguirre. That is why last December he confirmed through his social networks that he was retiring from football after ending the link with Hebei Fortune from China. Everything was given so that this book of unfinished longing would never open again with the idea of writing another chapter. Until Cristian González was confirmed as the coach of the first Central. The friendship relationship that Kily and Pocho have maintained for years is also an open secret. Even, on more than one occasion the rogue DT publicly declared that “Pocho is dying to put on Central’s shirt and I would love to direct him.” And accordingly, the former Argentine national team player knew how to confide to his environment that “he would have loved to have been managed by Kily in Central.”
González was made official last Wednesday as a technician for Central and one of the first issues that mobilized him was to grab the phone and call Lavezzi. It was a communication from two close friends, fans of Central, although this time Kily spoke as a coach. Without going into details, because really only they know what they said, the intention of the DT was to touch the intimate fibers of Lavezzi and excite him with the possibility of revealing the decision to continue in the comfort of a retired player. Kily understands, especially in this scenario of an uncertain football return, that Pocho is still in time to fulfill the wish of his son and the whole family to enter the Giant with the Central shirt.
Lavezzi has been in Europe for months and in each publication on social networks he is seen enjoying this stage of former footballer. Take the opportunity to visit friends of life and also those with whom you lived the best moments of your career. A few days ago he was in Paris with Angel Di María (see aside) and one of the topics of the talk between them was González’s assumption in Central. Fideo, another weakness of Kily, also eats Pocho’s head so that he can give himself the great pleasure of his life and return to play even a few games in Central.
Although Lavezzi does not agree with the routine of a footballer who is in full activity, he continues to train as if he were. In addition, if anything characterized Pocho it was his facility to put himself in optimal physical and soccer conditions. It is true that in recent times he had to mistreat an injury to his right knee after having meniscus and cartilage surgery and that also pushed him to retire.
The telephone conversation between Kily and Pocho ended up in the typical call of someone who tried to light the sacred fire again because it was Central. No more than that. There will surely be another communication in which González will seek to continue activating Lavezzi’s emotional springs, but from there to thinking that Pocho will reverse his determination to play in Central there is an ocean away.
For Kily it would be a great emotional and football support to convince Pocho and add him to a squad that he imagines with a massive promotion of kids from the inferiors. She would love to have him with Marco Ruben as reference axes within a group that will need experienced people to lead the way for the boys. If Pocho said yes, the economic question would not even be discussed. If Lavezzi puts on the shorts again it will only be to please his son Tomás, his whole family and also to remove that thorn from wearing the club shirt that is a fan. If you sign a contract it would be more than anything to give a legal framework to the return. If Pocho would never do anything, it is to charge a link if he does not deserve it for what he is showing on the field. He forged a huge career in football and economics. Nor would it be traumatic to physically tune in this context in which professional players have been training at home for more than 100 days and with routines via Zoom. We will have to see where this seduction game from Kily ends to convince Pocho to play again. The truth is that long before taking over as coach of Central, when Cocca’s cycle seemed untouchable, González entrusted Ovación with the following: “When I am a Central coach I would love to lead Pocho.” Maybe that wish is fulfilled.
