How Effective Is Stocrin

Juan Carlos Arteche fue un jugador que está en la memoria de una generación de aficionados al fútbol que rondan ahora los 40 años.
Esta es la opinión de un gran aficionado del Atlético de Madrid, Manuel Moreno, sobre su figura, y sobre un instante concreto que para Manuel resume un recuerdo muy vivo sobre el fútbol de aquellos momentos.

Os dejo con él.


"Hi Paul,

Arteche was simply great, and without it no one could understand the history of Aleti. He was a player of those that leave their mark on a computer. He was 11 years playing with us (were not more because of Jesus Gil ) and is the type of player I always wanted to have. belonged to a generation, longed, in which players throughout his career remained faithful to a team.
As a player, he was honest, heartfelt, was emptied by his team ... those qualities which today are cast so much. As a defense, it was expedient, serious, insurmountable and against many comments I've heard (eg, De la Morena) was no tuercebotas with the ball. He was a leader, playing the ball, raised his head and was perfectly capable of giving a pass, short or long, with precision. Many people, especially those of the opposite team, they filled his mouth saying he was a murderer. In my opinion they are ignorant, simple people who only sees the surface. I can tell you, as data, which was only sent off three times in his career. But it was a shame it was only 4 times internationally. If it were in the other large capital equipment, would have sung a different story. But then it never would have been our Arteche.
Arteche is impossible to speak of and do not remember the game against Betis. That day there was a historic feat, and that party belongs forever to the epic and Arteche Aleti. We were losing 1-3, and got the second half 2-3. The party at night and raining, seemed lost. And then came Arteche, who scored the 3-3 in minute 85. And at 90, after corner, again Arteche headed in doing our best to get the 4-3. As he fell, broke his meniscus, and left the field on a stretcher with the entire audience standing. Wonderful. I remember that game like it was yesterday. I was listening on the radio in those days which chronicled an entire game without interruption. Then I saw the images on TV, it was fantastic.

Paul, I'm glad to hear you say that you knew and you could talk with him. Remember him as a legend.

Hugs, Manuel ".
