Hernán Pacheco was one of those responsible for the training of Falcao García as a professional soccer player. The DT directed it in Lanceros de Boyacá, when he was only 13 years old and took his first steps in high-performance sport.
In dialogue with Antena 2, Pacheco revealed an anecdote that explains why Falcao was unable to play at Millonarios, a club that he has repeatedly declared a fan of.
The coach revealed that Silvano Espíndola, a former Millionaire player in the 80s, founded the Fair Play football school and contacted him to help him with technical management: “We started work and Silvano tells me to keep an eye on Radamel’s son because it is a phenomenon ”.

Pacheco said that Falcao reached the youth category, being three years younger than his teammates, and in his first match scored “five or six goals out of the nine we scored that day, at that time I was surprised.” From then on, Falcao was a scorer in the Bogotá League and was part of the Bogotá National Team.
“When we started to form the Primera B team, Lanceros de Boyacá, we had to comply with Dimayor’s rule by putting two players under the age of 18, so with Silvano we decided to take Falcao because it made a difference and that’s how it all started,” he recalled. .
Regarding Millionaires, Pacheco said that when they return from Venezuela together with their father, the ‘Tigre’ happens to play with La Gaitana, an amateur club, and from there he hit the final jump.
“Silvano clothed Falcao very well and promised him that he would take him to Argentina, but first he had to make a step for a First team and we had to take him to Millonarios between 2002 or 2003, when the coach was‘ Flaco ’Rodróguez. He was going to train but they had him aside, they did not pay attention to him, so Silvano, along with a businessman, took him directly to River, “he said.
For the coach, one of the reasons why they did not take Falcao into account was because “at that time it was believed that the young player was not serving and Millonarios, as always was a leading team, could not carry out processes, it only served to be champion with players to match. “
