The photo with his wife and daughters, before the game, as if he wanted to make the moment eternal. The ovation from the stands, which made his surname flesh until it was recorded in the history of the club. It seemed like goodbye for Sebastián Torrico.
The 42-year-old goalkeeper from Mendoza, emblem of San Lorenzo, had decided to go to Barracas Central. Suddenly, he was an appetizer. But no one can guarantee that the classic with Boca was not his last match under the clubs of Barça. Not even number one.
“The truth is that it is a difficult situation. I will talk to my family about it and see what I will do. I have so many mixed feelings, but I am grateful to the people of San Lorenzo, who treated me very well from the first moment, to my teammates, to the coaching staff “, he said as soon as the match was over, through a live broadcast on the Instagram account of TNT Sport.
#TorricoNoSeVa was the social media hashtag when it emerged that the veteran goalkeeper accepted Barracas Central’s proposal. The decision of Rubén Darío Insúa, to give continuity to Augusto Batalla, opened the exit door for Mendoza. At his age he needs rhythm. And being on the bench is a passport to retirement, which Torrico is not yet willing to accept.
“Torrico is from Boedo, he does not start from Boedo”, sang the San Lorenzo fans, when the 1 took his bow. at the start of the game.
Did Insúa give you the title against Boca out of conviction or pressure? “My expression of hope is that he will end his brilliant career here. Torrico is an excellent goalkeeper, very important for his team-mates and he can save another couple of years ”, said the coach at a press conference.
This Saturday there was a lime and a sand one for the goalkeeper. He missed Rojo’s goal, but blocked a great free-kick from Oscar Romero. People cheered him wholeheartedly. Was it the last flight of the Condor?
