Ignacio González, Eduardo Lobos, Francisco Prieto and Marcelo Ramírez are some of the long list of goalkeepers that have passed in Colo Colo. Everyone shares a beautiful friendship that was forged in the Cacique.
The Colo Colo goal must be the biggest in Chilean soccer. The responsibility of defending the portico of the most important team in the country is only for the brave and Ignacio González, Eduardo Lobos, Francisco Prieto and Marcelo Ramírez know it well, who shared in the Monumental Stadium.
In fact, the four goalkeepers, thanks to their experiences at the Cacique, forged a beautiful friendship that continues to this day. At different ages, they all contributed to the professional improvement of each one and it is something that values, for example, Ignacio González. El Nacho shared a tremendous image through his social networks where you can see a meeting between the tube keepers.
The affection of Ignacio González for the former goalkeepers of Colo Colo
The recent incorporation of O’Higgins used his social networks to share the moment: “Very good meeting with great friends and professionals that football has given me. I wish you the best in everything and thank you very much for helping me grow in sports and especially the human side”, was the message posted by the man trained in the Macul pastures.
And precisely, about this friendship, is that he was consulted by LUN. In the morning paper, González pointed out that he was “a partner of Pancho Prieto and Eduardo Lobos in Colo Colo. I was much younger, but they taught me a lot and a beautiful friendship was generated. I grew up watching them, absorbing their experience. And the Rambo was a reference or idol. I will always be grateful to him because when I came to Colo Colo at the age of 14, he was the teacher who was most present in my training. It was hours and hours that he stayed so that I could gain ground and learn the technical concepts. He was a key piece for the base that I have as a goalkeeper”.
The group of friends, yes, was not complete, since “A couple of goalkeepers like Álvaro Salazar or Raúl Olivares were missing, because they were not in the city. “We have a group and we are in constant communication, but we usually get together on vacation for work reasons. I would like to be in charge of a group and be able to organize a meeting with archers of all time. I have not seen in Chile that something like this has been done”.
Finally, Nacho said that “we talk about life, what is each one in. I understand that Lobitos is directing San Antonio (currently without a team) and Pancho Prieto is the goalkeeper coach for his staff. El Rambo, meanwhile, is directing in Limache and I signed for O’Higgins a little while ago.”
