Ricardo Bochini will now receive at the start of the League match between Athletic and Valencia the ‘One Club Man’ award given by the Ibaigane club annually to players who have completed their entire careers at the same club. “I am very happy and proud to receive this award from a club the size of Athletic, known around the world. This difference is a very important thing that I will share with the people of Independiente because it gave me everything. Eternal gratitude to Athletic. It’s a great award that those who play in the same club receive ”, explained an emotional Bochini in the Jose Iragorri press room in San Mamés.
“I am the first from South America and a pride to receive this award. First time they also give me an award in a country other than Argentina. Very grateful to all Athletic. This is quite unusual because some players only wear one shirt. You only have players from here. I’ve always been on the Independent. Since I was 15 years old I went to the Independent pension where I slept, had lunch, had dinner. I live there. I was known to the people of Independiente when I was young ”, explained Bocha.
The living legend of Independiente and Argentine soccer wore 10 on his back in Rojo’s most glorious era. Maradona himself came to make sure Bochini was one of his references. “One who plays as a 10 has to be a midfield player, create goal plays or reach the goal itself. I tried to enable forwards or reach the goal using dribbles, walls, passes … Now it’s You don’t see much 10 because the game has changed a lot. I’m, let’s say, the team’s point guard from midcourt forward. “
