One day, when he was still in Havana, they went to play against someone and the goalkeeper was missing. he advanced, went to the goal, and thus the legend was born. ‘It was the best thing that happened to me, maestro’ – he told me! A few years later, he was discovered by FC Porto in a tournament in Chile “, it is written.
“He came to Portugal and started playing for FC Porto. He was champion and loved the city and the club. He married a Portuguese woman and had a daughter. He didn’t want to leave Porto! He was a dragon! He hadn’t gone to the goal that day, maybe he would have been one more boy in the streets of Havana, maybe still with us, but never having lived the dream he was living when I met him! ”, he adds.
