Alberto Gonzalezfootballer who moved to Boca from 1962 to 1968 and three times champion, He passed away at the age of 81. He also played in Atlanta, Banfield and Unión Española de Chile. As a coach he led Deportivo Morón (1974), Estudiantes de Buenos Aires (1978) and Deportivo Español (89/90). At Xeneize he was interim DT in 1984, as well as working in the lower divisions.
Nicknamed Gonzalito, he made his debut at Bohemio as a left winger, although his First Division appearance coincided with changes in the football system and the implementation of a 4-2-4 formation. Before him he was a fan, because he gave air to his teammates, and his conditions were more suited to playing as a midfielder than as a striker. One of his teammates was Antonio Rattin: he assisted him in midfield, and for this they gave him the nickname of Rueda de Auxilio.
His scoring ability made him indispensable in recovering the ball, and his more than acceptable technical virtues helped him to give a good target to the caught ball. In Boca he scored 12 goals in 189 games.
He also went to the national team due to the good partnership he had with Rattin, he went to the 1962 and 1966 World Cups and the 1964 Nations Cup, won by Argentina. He managed to play 19 games for Albiceleste, with one goal.
Boca’s history department has informed the Olé newspaper that a tribute will be prepared on social networks.
