Who is Pablo Solari, the Argentine who became the legend of Colo Colo and now wants to hurt River

At this point, Pablo César Solari is already a legend with his own name on the other side of the Cordillera, more specifically in Chile’s Colo Colo. The thing is, the Argentine is the main player so Cacique has not lost in the category for the first time in his 95 years of life. There is a photo. Goat party. The famous Chilean team drew 0-0 at the Universidad de Concepción. Pablo Solari (until then, an unknown youngster who hails from Córdoba and gets his own name) faced the slant, twice clinging to pass two defenders and score a great goal. Y he does it incredibly easily, as if his team isn’t playing history. That’s the picture, but the video is worth a thousand words.

One skepticism that deserves to be clarified is that the Argentine who plays in Chile does not belong to the Indian dynasty Jorge Solari, the former River and Real Madrid, Santiago, or the famous model and host Liz. But he is Argentine and plays soccer well, as does the family with Rosario origins that are the same as his last name.

Coming back to the important thing, this is a hot potato that Solari had to pick up in February of last year. And it didn’t burn. “95 years behind a 19 year old“, published La Tercera.” Pablo Solari saved Colo Colo, “said El Comercio, though others sought more”You have to make a contract for life“, asked another, more excited.

In February 2021, Pablo Solari went from childhood to come as a youth to strengthen the Cacique squad “towards the hero of the squad of honor”, ​​as commented by the Clarín correspondent in the trans-Andean country at the time. Paul started to show his good football little by little, coming in from the bench, being more of a major star in major matches until he became the main piece.

“Pablo Solari is not a booster, he is a young player for the future. The reinforcements we wanted to bring did not arrive“Gustavo Quinteros, DT Lemma’s assistant, said then. But things accelerated.

The child facing River today (no longer a child, he turned 21) was born in a small town in Córdoba with 1000 inhabitants called Arizona, one of the quietest places where there is almost no school, a square and a paddock, a lot of paddock to play with. And the Arizona Social and Sports Club, of course, where Solari started playing more or less seriously. At age 8 it all started.

The most curious thing is that Solari is called Pablo César by Aimar. That’s how his father, a Millo fanatic, placed him. And he also has a brother named Santiago Solari, in clear homage to Indiecito. And, how could it be different, as a boy he tried himself in Núñez. It was an intense week where the family finally returned to Córdoba. “We didn’t dare leave him,” said his father, Víctor (the one who delivered his passion for the red band), a legendary scorer nicknamed “El Matador” in his amateur days.

Later, Solari tried himself in Vélez and did not stay, but in his most natural place: Talleres de Córdoba. From there he jumped to Colo Colo, but before that he tried out with a youth team that played in the famous tournament at L’Alcudia. There he scored in light blue and white in the 4-1 win over Mauritana. Who brought him to the First? Nothing less than Cacique Medina, the DT who misses T so much these days. It wasn’t that long ago, in 2020, and he was on the bench twice more against Newell’s and Lanús, in the Maradona Cup.

It is worth clarifying that they want to nationalize Solari as a Chilean to play for La Roja and the possibility is in their plans. In any case, you will have to wait more than three years for your citizenship to have the required seniority.

Solari’s great career just began in Colo Colo, where he became a legend. Where now he will try to be the executioner of River, the club of his loved ones. One way to continue writing your story. And his name is also starting to ring in this part of the Cordillera.
