An idol in the institution is, without a doubt, the player who has won the most titles in the long history of Independiente Santa Fe. Omar Sebastián Pérez, who went through great clubs such as Junior and Deportivo Independiente Medellín, among others in Colombia, in the team that It shone the brightest in the capital team.
He moved an entire crowd with the Copa Sudamericana, perhaps the most important title in the history of Independiente Santa Fe and an intercontinental trophy such as the Suruga Bank Cup. In addition, he played 374 games with the Bogotá team and scored 77 goals, in addition to the nine competitions he won. A maximum reference of the establishment, but with a painful situation.
Once Omar Sebastián Pérez hung up his cleats, he said goodbye to all the Santa Fe fans, but the club did not have any details for one of the great idols in the history of Independiente Santa Fe. Years following his departure, there was talk of a farewell to the height for the native of Santiago del Estero. However, everything was formed by him to carry out his last game that summed up the moments of joy for him and with the former players that he shared and with those who are still active.
However, he managed to do everything on his own with the help of his restaurant, Santiago del Estero and others interested in helping Omar Sebastián Pérez have a farewell remembered by thousands of fans who showed up at the Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium. An emotional goodbye between the tears of the Argentine, but also with the displeasure and non-conformity of midfielder number ’10’.
And it is that, Santa Fe did not return the desired affection. The institution did not want to be part of the farewell at any time, and the most painful thing for Omar Sebastián was that in the clothing for the match, he might not count on the shield of the cardinal team. They completely refused and Omar released a dart, but not before thanking all the spectators who accompanied him.
He wanted to leave a message to the faithful fans who were watching his career and his goodbye, but he took the opportunity to throw a dart and a taunt at Eduardo Méndez and Santa Fe managers who forgot him in the most emotional game, “they are part of the grain of sand added so that each one of you can enjoy all the titles lived, beyond the fact that there are people who want to eliminate us from history, gentlemen, you have something in your heart that I will always be proud of, because each one of the guys made it possible for this to be a good time.” He thanked the fans and the players who accompanied him, but subtly, he threw a dart at Santa Fe.
“They want to eliminate us from history”, the management with Omar Pérez was treacherous, because they did not give him a farewell as he deserved, he literally left through the back door and in the one he prepared they did not want to help either. It hurt Omar not to carry the institution’s shield on the uniforms. It is as if the directors and Eduardo Méndez as president really wanted to forget the glory that the Argentine gave to the cardinals.
