Matthew Alcaraz one of his dreams came true and it’s all thanks to Matias Coccaro. The 16-year-old youth, who is part of Aldosivi’s Seventh Division, was present in the match against Huracán at the José María Minella stadium as a ball catcher and returned with a gift he hadn’t expected: striker’s boots.
Ang Lobo from Parque Patricios won 2-0 against those led by Martín Palermo, with two goals from Uruguayan. In 40 minutes into the second half, when he left the field of play like a figure to give way to Walter Pérez, the young San Luis native shouted at the scorer if he could keep something with him …
Far from denying, Cóccaro explained that I promised shorts which he uses and has nothing to give, but Matthew convinces him in all kindness.
“Zorro” Cóccaro, the Uruguayan scorer who scored the goal judged the game.
“I promised in a nutshell and said if I did a hat-trick I would give it up. The kid yelled at me ‘Cóccaro give me something and I told him I couldn’t, that I didn’t have … He thanked me and I thought that because he was polite and well-mannered, he deserved something. So I decided to give him my booties“, said the Hurricane striker.
How is the experience according to the story of Mateo Alcaraz? “In the second half, when he came out, he went behind the goal and I asked him, ‘Cóccaro, did anyone ask you for shorts?’ and he says yes. And I say, ‘oh well, thank you very much.’ And when he was leaving I asked him if he could give me the shirt and he turned around, laughed and asked me how much I was going to wear.I told him 42, He looked at me and came to me again.He took them out and gave it to me. He said to me: Enjoy them, they go with goals “,
“This is my second time as a ball catcher and this is the first time I’ve felt like asking a player to give me something. I was surprised because no one is giving you now“, he assured.
The booties he received were more useful than he thought would advance his career, as they were “high-end” and not all players had the opportunity to buy them for high price they have and the number of times they have to change them during the season.
Despite the gift, he now feels the pressure of having to convert so that Zorro doesn’t fail, who as a result scored twice the last time he used them. “I play midfielder and it is my responsibility to have these boots. I want to make goals but more help ”, declared.
Regarding the striker’s personality, he said: “He’s a very good guy, very humble. There are other players who can come out angry and can react badly when you ask for something. He’s very calm, he gave. all balls “.
