Pablo García: Che Guevara of PAOK



[ad_1]

I assume, as we used to say, that he was the president of any (soccer) team. In that case, I don’t know if I would take Pablo García as a coach. But if I were a general, no discussion: I would take him with me, even unarmed, to go to any war, without letting myself be overshadowed by any terror.

They give me that feeling of who and what is the modus vivendi of man. his warrior character, his courage in the stadium, the fearlessness that governs him so that he does not get sick in front of anyone …

He’s a boy, as Pantelis Zervos called Nikos Kourkoulos in “Lola”!

If he is a good coach as well as a boy, this will show in due time: he proved that he is, sitting on the bench of PAOK’s K-19 team, which he led to the throne for three consecutive seasons and made it dominant and almost Irresistible.

Of course, both: one thing is a group of 19 years and another is the professionals, who even force Garcia to learn the art of the barber on the head of the Cassidian!

There is also the bad (and in fact fresh) precedent with Danny Pogiatos who left Panathinaikos last night and before this García has a great challenge, and seems doomed to win a bet: not as an official, but as a starting coach.

García is Uruguayan.

At the risk of being misinterpreted, I believe – and I have been protesting for years – that Uruguayans, Romanians and Puerto Ricans are not nationalities … They are professions. Garcia just doesn’t promise what it is. It is also what is promised …

You can’t be more Uruguayan, brother. More Uruguayan you die! García seems to have come out of a mold that no longer exists. From a factory that closed, but some derivatives and their fingerprints remained … On Saturday George Savvidis said goodbye to Abel Ferreira, writing that “you came man and you go man“.

Welcoming Garcia could add another thread to this reference to the man. “You came a man, you went a man and you became a man “.

Of course, García never left PAOK, where he joined in 2008 and met all the conditions to do what a friend of mine said, who is a fan of his …

Press person PAOK!

This was by definition and continues to be García: a figure who, if PAOK was not born, would become such. If he didn’t become like that, obviously PAOK fans wouldn’t love him. They would not worship him with the slogan “PAOK, religion, terrorism, honor and glory to Pablo García.”

They would not consider it out of control to conclude “No Garcia, no party.” They would not name Pablo García de Arnaia street.

But he wasn’t ungrateful either, promising that he would draw one with the Double-headed Eagle near the rest of the tattoos – something he hasn’t done for any of the previous teams he played for, including Real Madrid and Milan.

Twelve years have passed since he first blew his nose in Toumba, in which, with few gaps, he does not lose sight of the same: he took a short break in 2014 at Xanthi and returned first as a coach at the academies and yesterday as head of the first team. ..

I laugh now as I write this, but as his predecessor walked out the front door, his speech invaded from behind!

I mean this because Abel Ferreira said that “the best way out is through the front door“but his successor didn’t have to ring the bell and introduce himself: he booked breaking open doors. In his career, García fell many times, but he got up even more: he already writes this on the tattoo that has hit his chest …

“Falling is allowed, getting up is compulsory”, όπερ μεθερμηνευόμενον, falling is allowed, getting up is compulsory! If you didn’t know that this buzzword is old, you’d think he either made it up himself, or was thrown in to wear it …

What kind of player was Garcia? Old, genuine, well six. Six and actually six feel good!

Throughout his life and not only in football, the new PAOK coach is a sui generis boy and this has nothing to do only with where he was born and what country he represents …

It has to do with his upbringing, his psychosynthesis, his temperament, his performances and he goes on to say … I don’t know him personally, nor have I dated him to find out if he really is the one showing or just showing someone he would like to be … I think the first is valid: he’s a guy and a talker!

In an interview on May 19, 2010 on TV Macedonia he had stated that he does not consider himself “owner of the truth“!

Great conversation, after all, I did not cut him because of … a dust that roars that all his practices are politically correct: many times, after all, he is not, like then, in the Cup match with Olympiakos in Neos Faliros, where he punched Diogo! the in his fights with Nacho García, Mitchell Salgado and some others who ruined his money.

Am I the other? In an interview, he repeatedly stated that “Fortunately I did not score against Olympiakos, because it would leave my team with ten players. I would do something m @@@ a about the celebrations and the referee would show me the red card“. Such a claim even raises a Nobel Prize for self-knowledge!

When other players went on vacation to … sinful Mykonos, Garcia donned his hunting outfit and went up into the mountains, accompanied by Joe Bizera, citing his ideological background for this choice.

Mykonos is a cosmopolitan island and does not suit the leftists. What job do I have there?“.

Elsewhere he has a job, where his ideology and attitude define his life: sucking his favorite mate (national drink) from his hermit crab or eating the palate with kalimoutsos, organizing a barbecue at his house in Trilofos, to follow with a bow, is inspired by the “father of the Uruguayan nation” José Artigas (who has it tattooed on his arm) and the divorce “freedom or death” and does not come together …

With all this, PAOK found its next coach: more than one coach (dare I say) found the man who suited him best and will raise the flag of an internal revolution …

He found someone who by nature is called and can pose as Ernesto Che Guevara!
