In the last year three idols said goodbye to Colo Colo with a Monumental Stadium packed: Esteban Paredes, Matías Fernández and Jaime Valdes. The last goodbye was that of Pajarito this Sunday, where he had a Colocolina legend among his great guests: Carlos Caszelythe club’s greatest idol.
The King of the Square Metro received a true ovation from the thousands of attendees at Pedrero, for the respect that Colo Colo’s all-time top scorer deserves. And one day following The Last Flight of Jaime Valdés, Carlos Humberto Caszely revealed a story regarding the Bird and its beginnings in Palestine.
“Approximately 27 years ago (1997), two very good friends like Ricardo Dabrowski and Raúl Ormeño asked me to go to give a talk to Palestino, there I shared some football secrets with a young talent. Years passed, the young talent grew, he became a tremendous player who lived many years in Italy, played in great teams and He returned to Chile to fulfill his dream in the team of our loves“, begins the story regarding the first meeting between Caszely and Valdés who was taking his first steps in the Arab club.
Don Carlos adds that “A couple of weeks ago, this player called me to invite me to his farewell, he remembered that conversation and for me it was an honor to have been yesterday with other greats of our dear and beloved Colo-Colo. Jaime Valdés I wish you much success in this new stage of your life. My respects to Pajarito, to my old people from the ’62 World Cup and to all the boys who shared with me in the great Colo-Colo of All Time. My respect and admiration always“, concludes the beautiful message of the national idol.
Jaime Valdés’ thanks to Carlos Caszely and the representatives of Colo Colo
Jaime Valdés thanked Carlos Humberto Caszely for the post he dedicated to him on his Instagram account, with a brief comment: “Dear teacher, it was an honor for me to have you. Hug to the greatest“.
Where the Pájaro did expand more was at the post-farewell press conference at the Monumental. He was asked regarding what he feels knowing that Colo Colo historians, such as Carlos Caszely, Arturo Vidal or Esteban Paredes, give him a place among the greatest of the Cacique:
“For me, the fact that they were accompanying me today is a tremendous pride, and even more so that they can put me in the history of Colo Colo.. I am not a youth player, because La Cisterna was much closer to me (from his house in El Bosque) and I did not have the possibility of coming to the Monumental, but I never hid it, I always said everywhere that I was a Colo Colo fan from a very young age. .
He ended with a humble statement, giving as an example his idol who accompanied him in his farewell to football: “I don’t know if I live up to them as idols of the institution, but I’m leaving happy because they accompanied me. Iván Zamorano was always an idol as a child and having him here is going to be unforgettable“.
