This Thursday, el Kily went through the screen TyC Sports revealed a anecdote that he never told: the day he kicked a decisive penalty with San Lorenzo against Newell’s, who was about to become champion. “Tomorrow there will be a penalty, I don’t want you to get close to the ball”, Cholo Simeone told him. He ignored her.
The anecdote that Kily González had never told
Around the debate that was generated with the Racing penalty against River that decided the 2022 Professional League championship, Kily González decided to tell a situation that he lived with Cholo Simeone and that he had never revealed before: “Newell’s – San Lorenzo match, in 2009, Newell’s with chances of becoming champion and I played in San Lorenzo. The night before the match, Cholo comes to my room and tells me that tomorrow there will be a penalty. “Ahh, you’re a fortune teller too,” I say. “Tomorrow there is going to be a penalty and I don’t want you to even get close to the ball”, he tells me…”
“Cholo let me go to sleep, I’ve had enough with the people from Central who are driving me crazy”, The former man of the Argentine National Team retorted the DT who at the time tactically commanded the Cyclone. And he continued narrating: “In a against San Lorenzo they commit a penalty, I was not the one in charge of kicking it. He was in three quarters of the court and when they commit it I run for the ball and out of the corner of my eye I looked at Cholo … “.
“I went and kicked it. They cut me off and I wanted to dig a well. They puteando me to the mute, those of San Lorenzo and those of Central”, he concluded the anecdote with pure laughter, and then launched a brief analysis drawing a parallel between what he had to experience and the decision not to execute Enzo Copetti. “I assumed, going over the top of the coach, in that fable of wanting to win, I made the commitment to kick it and the coach told me not to kick because of what it could generate if I did or if I didn’t. These are times when the player has to take on the challenge of personality to take on any type of situation. He marks you as a player for better or for worse, more so in this Argentine football”.
