From teammates with whom he shared in the Tricolor as well as from the different clubs where he played and coaches who led him, they have expressed their voice of encouragement in this hard moment that Freddy Rincón's closest family and friends pass through.

A Brazilian football history like Joel Santana, told in Blu Radio's Sports Blog, what was his experience directing Freddy Eusebio Rincón when he was in charge of Corinthians.

In addition, the former coach of the South African national team said that he has a deep admiration for Freddy Rincón, who was one of the best players he was fortunate to have under his command.

On the other hand, former Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Goycochea, who for many years defended the Albiceleste goal, and who received two goals from Rincón in the historic 5-0 at Monumental in 1993, stressed for the same medium how difficult it was to face the Colombian in one-on-one.

In the same way, the former Millonarios remarked that Freddy Rincón was a very complete player not only because of his physical portent but also his technical wealth, which made him unique.
