In raw honesty, Diego Godín, the captain of Uruguay, said directly: “They will see the Godín of today, not the one from 20 years ago.” It is clear that the centre-back does not have the physical condition or the pace of the past. And he also knows that “you don’t win on field experience alone”, but he is confident of playing and enjoying his fourth World Cup.
He came in demand at the World Cup. To the point that three months ago he was more outside of Qatar than inside. After playing with Vélez Sarsfield, his current club, at the beginning of August, one of the most rebellious patellar tendinopathy prevented him from playing, training or barely even climbing the stairs.
At the end of August he made the decision. He left for Spain, to change specialists. He spent a month, stick and stick, double sessions and a lot of effort. He returned to Argentina in October, placed fifth well and managed to play a game and a half with Vélez before the closing of the Argentine League
responsible pleasure
Even without official confirmation from DT Alonso, who won’t reveal anything until an hour before the match against Corea, Godín pointed to the start. The holder and captain, to become the sky blue player who has served as captain the most times in the World Cup.
He knew this was his last World Cup as a player. He knew that the corridors leading to the field in these maximum jousts, as a player, he would never pass through.
He then admitted that he was “enjoying every moment, every detail”. So even when they “massage me, or share a wife.” He also clarified that “when you enter the field, it’s hard to talk about fun”
Time makes you more melancholy and the captain, in his last dance, aims to imprison every memory.
