Last Wednesday, March 16, Carlos Bilardo turned 84 years old and in Argentina he was paid many tributes, especially in sports programs. And it's no wonder, because he won them World Champion in 1986 with Diego Maradona as the main figure. However, not everyone sees it from the exclusive tribune of praise.
Pedro García, for example, spoke about the B side of the former Argentine technician. And while he recognized the great qualities of the 'Doctor', he also remembered all the 'tricks' he did throughout his career. He called it a “trap”. Get to know everything he said in the 'Al Angulo' program of Movistar Deportes.
“Something ambivalent happens to me with Bilardo. He is a patient of technical management, an obsessive of tactics, a deranged of what is the review to achieve something similar to defensive perfection... that's how he was a World Champion”, started the renowned sports journalist.
“Bilardo fascinates me because it refers me to the best Maradona. The best Maradona of all was directed by Bilardo. And recognizing his rigor, tactical review and illness of watching all the football in the world to be able to propose what he posed... he had an incredible video library when there was no YouTube. He was in anticipation of the obsession with seeing rivals,” he continued.
“However, Bilardo was the protagonist of events related to the trap. I don't want to use another word. And I quote you a couple: a coach who tells his kinesiologist 'step on it to the rival', I don't like it. I also don't like that in a World Cup, Bilardo's team, because he had to see, they approach Branco (player from Brazil) with a bottle with a sleeping pill. That's cheating,” Pedro Garcia launched.
“I also can't forget that, watching a match Peru vs Argentina for the World Cup (June 1985), when if the 'bicolor' won in Buenos Aires she qualified directly... in that meeting, the one who had been the best in the first leg was Franco Navarro. The match starts and Julián Camino (Argentina), who didn't used to play, goes and breaks the Peruvian. That came from above, that came from Bilardo,” he recalled.
After that, they saw the images of that match between Peruvians and Argentines. “Julián Camino went to blow it up to Franco Navarro. And the referee only got yellow from him. That was red, jail and public repudiation. Look at that! I can't believe it! That was all Bilardo's. He was also the anti-football player,” he said.
“Afterwards, Bilardo makes me laugh. I celebrate ingenuity and spontaneity. I love how he became a journalist and commentator... all you want. But I can't help but see it and refer to something like the trap,” Pedro García closed.
