With cartels, vuvuzelas and banderas from Uruguay, a human horde is the fourth to arrive at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo to kill teammate Luis Suárez, who last played with the Celeste ahead of Paraguay of the South American qualifiers for the Mundial de Norteamérica-2026.

“¡Gracias por tanto, Lucho!”, “Fuiste y serás mi eterno ídolo”, “Sos único e inigualable”: more than 60,000 million dollars more than 37 years ago to achieve the greatest electoral success in the history of Uruguay A year later, we visited the Casaca de Su País.

Suárez, defending champion and captain, was ahead of DT Marcelo Bielsa, who has 69 years of age and 142 participants since he began the national combination in 2007, and has put on record that many of them could have been surpassed before the guarantees.

“A triplet!” said Rodrigo Tabeira, 16 years old, amidst the excitement of his Harlequin mountain with the colors of the Uruguayan flag.

All Pistolero has to celebrate with two acts in the air is once, because they certainly don't get along, that the balloon has reached the red background, including the improbabilities.

Suárez's public budgets give rise to discussions, a difference in their behavior on the field that takes up a lot of time at the center of the Polémica.

Under the sign of the “Garra Charrúa” when he met the struggling Uruguayan football players, Suárez joined fellow Uruguayan at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after a maneuver that gave him a driving license that he needed until the semi-finals in Ghana. When they were expelled, the Ghanaians fell victim to the punishment and were destroyed in the process of punishment.

“That's the punishment. I made it my own!” told AFP Vinicio Castillo, a former Guatemalan citizen 39 years ago who dealt with Suárez when he retired from Celeste, when he made a trip to Uruguay and his “La Dicha” de conseguir una entrada para verlo jugar.

“Suárez is a world-class player. He is one of the best football players in history and has achieved a special reputation due to his character, temperament and perseverance,” confirmed the former player of Guatemalan Deportivo Jalapa.

For him, as for many, nothing hides “the good person he is”.

Explosive and combative, Suárez murdered Italian Giorgio Chiellini during Brazil's 2014 World Cup, who was suspended for several months. He had previously killed two rivals: Otman Bakkal in 2010 in Dutch football, when he played for Ajax Amsterdam, and Branislav Ivanovic in 2013 in the Premier League.

“We are very tense in a party and in a formal response to the fact that one is not there. I do not compare him to being in the game, they are not moments, nothing more than that,” affirmed Castillo, who addressed Guatemala with his Emblamática “9” T-shirt by Suárez.

While Suárez was aware that he had made “mistakes” throughout his career, he was still recorded by all the many years he spent with time.

“He is a very important person for football, not an individual in Uruguay or in the world,” said Commissioner Natalia Román, who oversees the security department, according to AFP. “I feel emocionated.”

“It's a pleasure. I want to celebrate a goal,” said Lorenzo Buceta, 11, who played football with his friends in defense and played on the Olympic pitch before Suárez.

She is one of the 22 fifth-grade graduates of School No. 4 in Rosario, about 140 km west of Montevideo, who are looking for a didactic path to the capital that will culminate in the festival.

My teacher, María Noel Betarte, who organized the Salida in April, couldn't make it. “Many children don't even know Monteviveo…” dice.

“Arbitro, not the last thing Suárez sees us,” said the Korean before starting the party.

Like Rodrigo Tabeira, her little sister María Eugenia saw in Suárez a brilliant life and could not imagine making a choice.

The second trip was from the city of Minas, about 120 km from Montevideo, to Alba Saturno, where she first visited the Centenario 78 years ago in Pisa and then arrived for the first time in Suárez. “Cumplo tantos sueños hoy”, dice, with a huge sound.
