He had a very important step in Argentine football, being one of the pioneers of the technical game, standing out in River Plate for many years. The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) recognized Amadeo as one of the best goalkeepers of the 20th century.
His time with the Argentine National Team was brief, he only played 20 games, including two finals: the 1958 World Cup and the 1964 Nations Cup.
“Pato” Fillol stood out defending under the three sticks of the Albiceleste, especially in what was the first conquest of the World Cup in 1978, especially his performance in the final of said tournament against the Netherlands is remembered.
He has had a total of 58 appearances wearing the team's shirt.
It doesn't need to be said much, he was the goalkeeper who led Argentina to the final and then became world champions in 1986. Despite not having participated in the qualifying rounds of said competition, he earned his starting position and had a performance that raised his level. and prestige.
In addition, he wore the River Plate shirt where he became champion of the Copa Libertadores, Copa Intercontinental and Copa Interamericana.
Remembered for being a fundamental pillar in the World Cup in Italy in 1990. Goyco managed to stand out and remain in history despite not having become world champion. At that time he replaced Nery Pumpido and had to save four penalties: two against Yugoslavia and another two against Italy.
The IFFHS has recognized his work twice as the second best goalkeeper in the world.
The whole world knows why Dibu is and will be part of the history of the Argentine National Team and, above all, one of the best goalkeepers who have ever worn the albiceleste shirt. He began to write his story in the 2021 Copa América when he became an absolute figure after giving fans back the security of having a goalkeeper up to their standards and taking them to the final which they later won, and in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar where he was the best goalkeeper of the competition and of course, a key pillar to be able to win the World Cup again.
Without a doubt, he is one of the most remembered figures in what was a generation that fought a lot and did not have the expected reward.
