Video | Like Chavo del 8: this is how Vladimir Hernández said goodbye to Junior de Barranquilla

After scoring the goal that led to the final of the 2023-II League with shots from the penalty spot and then Junior’s ninth star, Hernández did not have much continuity this semester: he played 16 games, but only four as a starter. He didn’t score goals.

However, Hernández remained in Junior history. In his two stages in the team (2008-2016 and 2023-2024), he played 368 games, scored 65 goals, contributed 35 assists and won four titles: three Leagues (2010-I, 2011-II and 2023-II) and one Colombia Cup (2015).

Hernández said goodbye to his teammates and three of them, Emanuel Olivera, Nicolás Zalazar and Walmer Pacheco, were the promoters of a curious and fun video with which ‘Vlacho’ said goodbye to the Junior dressing room.

Vladimir wrapped his things in a transparent plastic bag, tied it to a broomstick and began walking towards the locker room door, while his teammates told him ‘Don’t go, Chavo.’

Thus, the Junior footballers recreated one of the iconic scenes from El Chavo del 8, the comedy written, directed and starring Roberto Gómez Bolaños, which was produced for 24 years, from 1971 to 1995, and lasted many more on the air, until a dispute between the comedian’s family and Televisa forced it to be taken off the screens in 2020.

“End of a story,” Pacheco manages to exclaim as Vladimir looks at the camera and says goodbye to the club with which he made his professional debut in the A.
