Once Caldas fans returned in good numbers this Saturday to the Palogrande stadium in Manizales to support their team in a key match of the League semi-finals, against Independiente Santa Fe.
Pablo Peirano’s team came into that game with two victories in the first two games, while Once Caldas beat Equidad on the first date and then tied with Tolima in Ibagué.
One of them, Mateo García, was captured by the official broadcast cameras crying while the Manizales anthem played.
This is how Mateo García arrived at Once Caldas
He has become a fundamental piece for coach Hernán Darío Herrera’s scheme and He has been a starter in 18 of the 22 games that the ‘white team’ has played this semester. He did not play on the first date due to a technical decision in the other three games he missed, one due to an accumulation of yellow cards and the other two due to injury.
Once Caldas is already trying to retain him. “We are not thinking today about the issue of renewal, we are going to wait until the end of the home runs to sit down and talk,” García’s representative, Lucas Restrepo, told local media Pasión Blanca.
Curiously, García had a time at Millonarios and trained in that club. “My entire family on my father’s side are very fans of Millonarios. That’s why I ended up doing my entire process there. I gained a special appreciation for that institution because of everything about my father,” the player declared to journalist Juan Esteban Londoño. .
