O, mejor dicho, NO ALCANZAN PARA PODER DECIRLO TODO. El Gráfico está tan feliz como todos los argentinos. Esta noche de histórico domingo, sentimos que su alma sonríe y en cada uno de los teclados, los periodistas que hacen El Gráfico deslizan su emoción. Es fácil en- tender que se trata de un día especial. En esta hora -en que queremos decirlo todo- NOS DAMOS CUENTA DE QUE SOLO HAY UNA MANE- RA DE EXPRESARNOS: brindar esta edición en la que volcamos con conceptos, fotos y testimonios EL DIA MAS GLORIOSO DEL FUTBOL ARGENTINO. Para nosotros no es el final de nada; acaso -¿por qué no confesarlo?- podría ser el comienzo de todo. Estamos felices por el triunfo de la Selección y, ya más calmados del primer impacto, estamos felices por todo cuanto hicimos desde el primer día del proceso, al que también podríamos llamar “La Era Menotti” o el “Operativo Mundial 78”. Si no dijéramos que hemos recibido muchas felicitaciones por nuestro trabajo antes y durante el Mundial seríamos insensibles. Nos gustó que nos reconocieran el esfuerzo (ojo, esfuerzo no es sacrificio), pero no encontrábamos la forma adecuada para el agradecimiento. Decir gra- cias es tan convencional como decir “es nuestra obligación”. Detrás de la obligación pusimos el alma del periodista. Y el alma del periodista es su amor, su pasión y su deseo. El Mundial nos obligó a todos los ar- gentinos a esforzarnos; El Gráfico cumplió su papel: durante este mes de junio realizamos las cuatro ediciones normales, más otras tres ediciones extras.

  • Yo Soy El Diego De La Gente
    Diego Armando Maradona (Buenos Aires, 1961), jugador zurdo, poseedor de una extraordinaria técnica y una singular destreza con el balón, destacó pronto en una época marcada por la paulatina desaparición de las grandes figuras del fútbol. Internacional desde los 16 años, en su meteórica carrera pasó el F.C. Barcelona (con quien conquistó la Copa del Rey y la Copa de la Liga), en una estancia polémica, donde se ganó decididos partidarios y apasionados detractores. Pasó hacia tiempo, por sobrados méritos, a la galeria de hombres ilustres, de genios del deporte, que arrasan masas y corazones. Su historia, con tintes de melodrama, está en boca de to- dos. Pero, hay cosas que están sólo acá adentro, en mi corazón y que nadie sabe, dice Maradona en este libro. ¿Quién puede saber qué pasaba por su cabeza antes de dormir, en una piecita de dos por dos, en Fiorito, acom- pañado por sus siete hermanos? ¿Quién osaría afirmar cuál fue su mayor alegría y su peor tristeza? Nadie mejor que el propio Diego, perdón, El Diego... de la gente, como a él le gusta ser y que lo llamen. Desde sus hu- mildísimos orígenes, hasta la mayor de las glorias, pas- ando por cada una de sus muertes y sus respactivas re- surrecciones, por las definiciones de sus amigos y sus enemigos, todo queda relatado aquí, en este libro, en primera persona, donde se descubre un Maradona ín- tegro y también íntimo. Un Maradona que se confiesa sin reservas.

Lucila Crexell.- FUNDAMENTOS Señora Presidente: El pasado miércoles 13 de Diciembre del corriente año, el Club Atlético Independiente conquistó su segunda Copa CONMEBOL Sudamericana, luego de empatar 1 a 1 con el Flamengo de Brasil, en un partido que se desarrolló en el mítico Estadio Maracaná, acrecentado así la leyenda del “Rey de Copas”. En el primer partido decisivo Independiente había vencido al conjunto brasileño por 2 a 1, con los goles de Emmanuel Gigliotti y Maximiliano Meza, y necesitaba un empate para consagrarse Campeón de esta nueva edición de la Copa Sudamericana. Si bien, durante la primera parte del encuentro el equipo “carioca” puso en aprietos al de Avellanada con el gol marcado por Lucas Paquetá ante un Maracaná eufórico, apenas unos minutos más tarde, el joven Ezequiel Barco logró el empate al tomar la pelota y ejecutar el tiro libre penal, acallando las voces del Maracaná, gol que a la postre le terminaría dando el tan ansiado título al “Rey de Copas”.

  • MUNDIAL 78 Suplemento Página/12, 01/06/08 El Gauchito Gil
    MUNDIAL 78 Suplemento Página/12, 01/06/08 El gauchito gil Hace exactamente 30 años, el 1º de junio de 1978, empezaba en Buenos Aires el Mundial de fútbol. Durante el mes siguiente desaparecerían 63 personas, Videla recibiría seis veces diferentes el aplauso de un estadio lleno de argentinos y la prensa local se cuadraría casi con unanimidad para refutar “la campaña antiargentina” que en el mundo denunciaba los crímenes de la dictadura. El hecho de que este mes se organice en el Monumental “la otra final”, un acto que reivindicará la vigencia de los derechos humanos, y las reacciones revulsivas que despierta, invitan a revisitar los sentimientos y argumentos complejos y contradictorios que sigue despertando aquella Copa. Por Gustavo Veiga Trilogía: “Conjunto de tres obras trágicas que un autor presentaba a concurso en los juegos de la antigua Grecia”. Comprender el significado que tiene el Mundial ’78 para la Argentina de los últimos treinta años requiere de un paso previo: la búsqueda de similitudes en procesos semejantes. La rueda de la historia gira (Benito Mussolini en el Mundial de Italia del ’34), gira (Adolf Hitler en los Juegos Olímpicos de Berlín del ’36) y sigue girando (Jorge Rafael Videla en un estadio de River colmado). En ese trípode se apoya un paradigma del acontecimiento deportivo que explica cómo tres dictaduras del siglo XX se apropiaron de su subjetividad, de los valores que representa el deporte para la política cuando ésta lo necesita. Las tres pudieron glorificar de manera extrema los éxitos de sus atletas, porque la Italia del Duce se consagró campeón, la Alemania del Führer ganó con holgura los juegos que organizó y la Argentina obtuvo su primer título mundial de fútbol.

Metropolitano. El primer campeonato de 1973 fue disputado por 17 clubes, uno menos que en el año precedente, por cuanto descendieron Lanús y Banfield y ascendió All Boys, institución que no jugaba en Primera División desde 1926. En la previa, el gran candidato al título era San Lorenzo, que se había quedado con las dos competencias de 1972. Los principales candidatos a destronarlo eran River Plate, que incorporó a Enrique Wolff y Edgardo Di Meola; Boca Juniors, que se reforzó con Jorge Benítez de Racing, Vicente Pernía de Estudiantes de La Plata y el cordobés Carlos Guerini. Tampoco había que descartar a Independiente, aunque su participación en la Copa Libertadores le restaba chances. Pocos pensaban que el gran animador del campeonato iba a ser Huracán. Con la dirección técnica de César Menotti, el Globito formó un equipo que es recordado como uno de los mejores en la historia del fútbol argentino. Jugó virtualmente con 5 delanteros, aunque dos de ellos partían desde el medio campo, conformando una línea de forwards a la vieja usanza, integrada por Houseman, Brindisi, Avallay, Babington y Larrosa. El equipo se complementaba con una defensa de experiencia y personalidad, en la que sobresalían Basile y Carrascosa. El arranque de Huracán fue extraordinario e indicativo de lo que sería su actuación en el campeonato. Ganó sus 6 primeros partidos, con 22 goles anotados y 4 en contra, incluyendo goleadas frente a Argentinos Juniors, Atlanta y Racing.
