Any football commentator, who speaks at breakneck speed during a game, would struggle to say his name. Therefore, to make the task of naming him easier, since 2017, when the world met the Antioquian forward Efmamjjasond Gonzáles, they named him the “calendar” man.
Gonzáles, who was born on June 12, 1999 in Arboletes, Antioquia, is dark, strong, tall (he is 1.89 meters tall). He has an undeniable talent for scoring goals. He is a talented attacker since he was a youth and played in the minor divisions of Atlético Nacional. Two goals in the Half World Cup that was played in 2017 in Ecuador, when he was part of the Purslane team’s under-18 team, prove it.
However, Efmamjjasond became famous for the particularity of his name. The forward, who is now 24 years old and plays for the Kaizer Chiefs Football Club team in the first division of South African football, has the initial of the 12 months of the year on his identification.
(E)neuro, (F)ebruary, (M)arch, (A)bril, (M)ay, (J)une, (J)ulio, (A)like, (S)eptember, (O)ctober, (N)ovember, (D)ecember: all added together give the name of Efmamjjasond, who prefers to be called by the last six letters, Jasond.
Where does the name come from?
The answer is simple. Yes: the parents of the young man born in Urabá Antioquia chose the name inspired by the initials of each month because “we like them all,” as they told the newspaper El Tiempo.
Gonzáles, who during his time in the minor divisions of Nacional was a pupil of Dayro Moreno – who next Saturday could become the top scorer in the history of Colombian football with 225 goals in the duel between Once Caldas and DIM –, left of the green box in 2019.
Argentine coach Jorge Almirón, who led the King of Cups in both semesters of 2018, was impressed with his performance and, when he was hired to coach San Lorenzo de Almagro in Argentina the following year, he requested in “El Ciclón” that they would let the young man try himself out for a few weeks.
They signed him. He signed a contract with the Argentine team in September of that year. He scored his first goal on October 4, 2019 in the duel against Central Córdoba in the League’s reserves tournament. That day his team lost 2-1.
A year later, within the framework of the covid-19 pandemic, Efmamjjasond was loaned to All Boys. He made his debut as a professional footballer on November 28, 2020, in the duel against Brown de Adrogué. Seven days later, on December 5 of that year, he scored his first professional goal. It was in his club’s 1-0 victory against Santamarina.
He was in All Boys until the end of 2021. Then he was loaned to Club San Miguel. He was with that team throughout 2022. He did not have many minutes. He got the opportunity to go to Real Santa Cruz in Bolivia.
In Bolivian football he scored 8 goals in the 15 games he played during 2023. Since August of that year he has played for the Kaizer Chiefs Football Club of South Africa, a team that is located in seventh place in the League standings with 29 points. .
Efmamjjasond Gonzales has played almost every game. However, he does not usually start, but rather he enters in the second half of the matches. The next game his team will play will be on March 30 against Cape Town City (8:00 am Colombian time).
