Agustín Marchesín I had everything to continue making history at the club America, coupled with that in Mexico had all the comforts and could continue to put down roots, but the invitation to go to play Porto in 2019 It made his life take a turn, because it meant that the door had been opened to go to European football and not only that, but he would go to replace his great idol: Iker Casillas.
Few like the Argentine goalkeeper, who has been a champion with all the clubs he has played for, such as Lanús, Santos, America and now Porto, so it is clear that he did not err in making the decision to exit the America to try your luck in Europe, where even today he has the opportunity to have a friendly relationship with Casillas.
“It made me very happy that a team like Porto came looking for me. It was very difficult for me to make the decision because I was doing very well at América, the biggest club in Mexico, and they also loved me a lot and I was doing well. stuff. I was very comfortable, but this was a very personal challenge and what Porto represented added to me a lot: the possibility of playing in Europe and the Champions League. They were a lot of things that I put in the balance and, of course, the possibility of coming to replace the one who, I think, is the best goalkeeper of all time.
“The other day I was with him (Iker Casillas) because he had a shirt that he wanted me to sign. He is a great person. He is my idol since I was little and everyone knows it, but now I had the pleasure of going to his house, to talk with him, share moments, ask him for advice on any exit from the goal or on how he saw such a goal that they made me. In those moments that I shared with him, he showed himself to be a truly exceptional and very humble person, beyond the world known as he is. It’s a legend, and When I leave football, the token that I replaced my idol will fall on me: Casillas“said the Argentine, in an interview with the newspaper La Nación.
Marchesin today you have the opportunity to play in Portugal, the land of Cristiano Ronaldo, although he as an Argentine immediately comes to the defense of Lionel Messi, noting that this is the best player in the world.
“Yes, obviously, but as an Argentine I defend Leo to the death. Here, obviously I have many who admire and love Cristiano, and both are monsters. But I always say that you can’t compare them, because they are excellent and they are cracks, but Leo is the best, “said Marche, who has shared a dressing room with Messi in the Argentine national team.
Wink to America?
The keeper of the Dragons He accepted that in the future he would like to return to Mexican football, because it is a football that he took a lot of affection for, although I do not specify without the Eagles.
“I would like to return to Mexico at some point for all that I had to live, and later, if I return to the country, my dream is to return to Lanús, the club that always gave me everything, “he said.
