September 6, 2013 is a date that marked Cecilio Waterman, he national tournament scorer after opening the account – yesterday – in the 2-1 victory of Universidad de Concepción over Unión La Calera, at Ester Roa. Almost exactly seven years ago, at the Rommel Fernández stadium in Ciudad de Panama, his team drew 0-0 against Jamaica, a result that ended up costing him a good part of the ticket to the playoffs for the World Cup in Brazil. In that meeting, the current striker of “Campanil” had clear goal options. But he failed them.
“He was crucified,” he recalls Julio Shebelut, from “At 8 with the Shebe” and “Batakazo” from Blast Panamá, explaining why, at 29, he only has seven appearances in his country’s team, despite a respectable track record in Uruguay. “Here he has been unfairly condemned for the failures in the National Team”, complements his colleague Ricardo Icaza, from TVMax and TVN.
This also coincided with the fact that the attack by the “Canaleros” was dominated in recent times by Luis Tejada and Blas Pérez, the two historic gunners, but from now on it could be redeemed, by pairing with an old acquaintance. “It is the rebirth of Waterman, he has all the qualities to be a starter and succeed. At present, he is the best forward in Panamanian football, above Gabriel Torres placeholder image“, Warns Shebelú, with whom Icaza agrees:” The career he has had puts him in a good position, along with Torres, scorer in Ecuador. “
“It is powerful and fast, it has had certain problems with the definition, but it has matured,” adds Shebelut, who also refers to the particular surname. “Here he is known as ‘Water Gol’, the ‘Water Scorer’”, he closes.
Yesterday, under the Penquista rain, he continued clearing his name.
