Guerrerie (none other than Marcos Angelelli) made this proposal when he walked around Balneario 12 at the height of the pre-season of Estudiantes in the summer of 2004. Carlos Pilate applied sunscreen (the players below called him a “Joker”) and criticized one of his executives. The proteges, the defender, was due to a lack of attachment to his shoe homeland. After resigning, Angelelli retired to the locker room and returned to the beach with a tape covering the Brazilian flag that adorns the flip-flops of the famous brand.

In 2003, when ordinary people began to worry about Estudiantes de la Plata, their Estudiantes was attacked by Carlos, the Pincharata community. It was a time when Salvador Pilate could not refuse his fate. “Flaco Poletti came and they called me Veron, the English witch, and the Spanish Martin Palermo. “He made it public with a diver. At the age of 65, he took over for the fourth time as an advisor to the Platens Club, where he won the title in the Metropolitano in 1982 and joined the national team. It was the last step of the Doctor on the bench of the deputies, and in addition to that, he was later the manager and journalist of the national team, in addition to omitting other activities such as politics and acting. I continued to connect with football.

True to his style, reinforced by years and obsessions, Villardo poured out events and stupidity with his own label, but left Estudiantes in 2006 with Primera. He also achieved the goal of leaving the base with several boys who would become champions in Primera under his guidance. Athletes such as Marcelo Caruska, Marcos Gerabel, Jose Sosa and Mariano Pavone passed through their hands as coach Diego Simeone.And they enjoyed a special path and suffered. On the day of the 84th birthday of a doctor, there is an unmissable story about his final step as a technical director.

Pre-season based on austerity

Estudiantes footballers carefully descended from the microphone and watched the panorama with distrust. The team arrived in Mar del Plata for the preseason, and in front of him was Hotel Varna with two stars, two floors and 21 rooms.It is modest but cozy.So they will stay for a basic job in order to return to the competition.

Bilardo, accustomed to the comfort surrounding elite clubs, told the press published in Punta Mogotes: “We do well, it's a bit tight, but it's good.” There was no TV in the room, 29 inches in front of a spacious armchair in the lobby, several TVs went down from the microphone to share moments of leisure. On the side, a classic Siam refrigerator provided a vintage touch.

The first impression helped the football player get used to it.Often they rushed to the building where they were training in the port area of La Ferris. Mike frolic outside the hotel.And if the unsuspecting person entered the accommodation at night from the desk in the lobby instead of the staff, they naturally found Bilardo on the phone and broadcast it for a radio program, just as they did in the studio. If a journalist wants to get an interview with Ernarigon about his development, he should make an appointment at dawn, full time and big nose.

I train a lot at night

The anecdote belongs to Gonzalo Kruzener and he communicated it in the interior of the Lavos del. “When he returned from Mar del Plata, Pilate was desperately looking for a striker and did not bring him. One Thursday, after a double shift in which we were “shot”, he said, “Russia, today 22.30, already dinner, it would not have been if they had not been with Eloy (Colombano) and (Dante) Senger.” So, around 19:00 when we finished training, we went to the boarding house and went back to court around 22:20 We wondered what this would be like (Bilardo). We arrived at the door of concentration and after a while they saw Bilardo, Brown, Rem, and physical trainers fell into two cars.”

“'Come on, come in. I'm going to watch a River and Racing game on TV.” Fernández Lagata (Gaston), who switched to racing on the river that day, scored a goal. The first half marked the movement of the striker, and when it was half time, he told him to change to the locker room.I didn't know anything. When I arrived, there was a costume with ankle boots down. I asked Prophman. “Yes, the doctor asked me to leave.” We changed our clothes and went back to the office. Sit down. We will watch the second half of the year and train.” We looked at the boys and each other and thought he was crazy. At midnight, there were no courts lit up for training. He took us to the end of the country, we rarely saw it, it became warm, and he stopped Rem, Brown and Sensei in three lines. It showed us how to move and with that temperament we had to avoid defenses. It was 12 o'clock in the evening! We were there for about an hour, and he lifted the ball to his knees instead of his side, and taught him how to overcome it and impose penalties. This is what Villardo looks like. Character,” he concluded.

Musical marathon by DJ Villardo

Genuine decadent bell-suit Vergarabat, La Mosca, and band XXI Bilardo dealt with tactical exercises and DJ trays.In Estudiantes, Carlos Salvador received a patent for “Musical Marathon Training”. The practice lasted from 7 to 11 hours.More specific or general work.And in the background there is cheerful and motivating music and a playlist chosen by professional dancers who know how to show their strengths at carnivals.

“Music is about breaking the monotony of the country and motivating the players a little,” he said of his unique way.His longest marathon started at 9 am and ended after 20 o'clock.Each football player passed 10 trials on a tiring day. “You do what you like, so you don't get tired.” Noz claimed as he dropped the army.

Self Dismissal and Citybell Prison

In 2004/2, the student lost 1-57 to Independiente in the 4-1 stadium. For the coach Villardo, who was not able to celebrate the recognized goal in the finals against Germany, at the title celebration held in Mexico 86, the defeat was a deep pain and impossible to heal. Due to such a level of self-criticism, he made a famous statement.

“I am responsible for the defeat. Also, if I was the club president, he would call me and say, “Leave.” These four goals are that they can't be done to you. If everything goes wrong, the coach has to take responsibility. If I were the president, I would be abandoned.” He spoke with laughter, which was included before the syndicate.

“After we win a favorable corner, we can't score a goal. It's something that never happened to me. One goal goes too far, but four... He continued to whip himself up. Bilardo did not say goodbye to himself, but imposed a punishment: he was trapped in the country of City Bell, “so as not to waste time on travel.” There he was seen by a calm person walking through the court in the dark after presenting a radio program on the phone to find a solution to the wave of insomnia at dawn.

Frustrated singer Angeli

Marcos Angeli was the protagonist of another doctor's stupidity. Field assistant Miguel Ángel Lemme told the stage “There was Carlos's room at the meeting, my room came and Angelely's room came. I taught him props for playing the guitar. I made Angelelie sing. When Carlos was angry, he ran away and we won. And I told Carlos that we won. So I said I had to do it again. Then I let Angelelli sing, and he shouted at her and the little boy ran out.” I explained in detail the repeated choreography. “These are the beautiful things we live next to the owner.” Even Cabal completed the nostalgic cabezon.

MAGIC WAY

Bilardo, the symbol of Estudiantes, gladly provided all the knowledge and esoteric artillery so that the club remained in the elite. “We left the country and went to the other side of the Camino Black. When I crossed the road, there was a dead road and chips popped out. And when we came back from running, he was always standing there. Then one Sunday, he told me. “Come on, let's go find a boy,” I was talking to Propman, and they brought in an employee who had a self-sustaining life. He cut the track and put it under the sleeping bed until we were saved from the descent. And he took her home, saying that the truck was lucky, a track of 1 meter, yes, bent at the end “, El Cabezon Rem described an incredible move that was not surprising because he knew all the repertoire.
