To ask for 10 all are worth, to walk through the countryside, quite a few;
but to honor him, you have to have patience, talent and elf.
That dark and shuddering torrent, of which Federico García Lorca spoke: "The duende is a power and not a work, it is a struggle and not a thinking."
Alejandro Darío Gómez Villaverde was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on February 15, 1988. He will celebrate his next birthday in Seville.
33 will fulfill, without plundering or flogging.
He left enough in Bergamo, in the Atalanta domains.
There he touched the sky and tested the ground after antagonizing
Gian Piero Gasperini
.
"He has been the most important player in my five years. I think I managed 200 games and he played 195, but there are situations that should be studied," said the Italian coach.
"When I leave the whole truth will be known," replied the footballer.
He was happy and he stopped being so.
His life is full of polilleros trips, the kind that cross the night and crash against the light.
As a child he felt like the Independent Athletic Club of Avellaneda.
His uncle,
Hugo Villaverde
, defended the Red jersey for more than a decade.
In his mother's genes was his brazen, insolent and sharp character written.
Low leash.
To fight for every inch of grass.
He made his debut in August 2005 defending the Arsenal Fútbol Club blue shirt with red sleeves.
He had fifteen minutes to demonstrate why a seventeen-year-old boy, who was still called Piojo, was called to be a starter in Sarandí's team.
There he raised the
Copa Conmebol Sudamericana
, after scoring two goals in the final, in a double game, against Mexican America.
He spent four seasons at El Viaducto, working as a hitch.
When he left, he already had the ten on his back.
Your preferred number.
Like
Oliver Atom
, the cartoon character that has been tattooed on his right calf.
From Sarandí to San Lorenzo, and from San Lorenzo to Catania.
In both he was trained by
Cholo Simeone
.
In both he wore a red and blue cane.
Along the way he was leaving flashes of claw and generosity.
He played hard, vertical and associative.
His position was listing.
Neither playmaker, nor second striker, rather cornering, passed out on the wing, looking for the right foot to conquer the rival area with centers and incisions from the front.
Ukrainian money tempted him and he asked to go to
Metalist Kharkov
.
"We were going to play the Champions League, I was fighting for the championship with Shakhtar, it was full of Argentines, I was going to win three more times ... But it was a terrifying year. I left in September and the war started in December," said the Argentine. .
As soon as the season was over, he asked to return to Italy.
Finally, the footballer chose Atalanta.
In Ukraine, where he had suffered so much, he lived one of the happiest moments of his career: qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
A historic day for him, a historic day for the Dea.
The disagreement
Until his divorce with Gasperini, Papu had been a benchmark in Calcio.
His team played relentless and suicidal football and he was the unquestionable leader.
With 10 he created and destroyed, he was the first in the pressure and the last in the auction.
252 games, 59 goals and 71 assists
with the elastic Bergamasca.
The happiest days at the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia Stadium, the happiest days at the Gómez Raff home.
But all love is also a precipice.
"The best is yet to come, I love you," Papu wrote on a wall note to his wife Linda just a few days ago.
The plane tickets were already taken out and the agreement closed with Monchi.
The emotional ambassadors of the Nervionense club had done their job.

... "They all spoke to me wonders about the city. It lives very well. Heat. The city is beautiful ...", said the Buenos Aires native in his presentation.
"The goblin must be awakened in the last rooms of the blood," wrote Lorca.
"La maglia sudata semper", was Gomez's farewell to the Atalanta fans.
"I can't wait to meet them," was his greeting to the Sevilla fans.
In the middle, Papuchito, as his mother called him as a child, bearing the weight of 10 on his back.
Although his new team has assigned him 24, his is a number that goes on the inside.
Much more than a number stamped on a T-shirt.
An obligation, a golden regret, a roar first, a constellation in the veins.
