Within 75 years of existence, Luis Miguel Salvador marked an era in the history of Monterrey, as much as player in the 90s and how executive of the team. In that facet was the most important man to convince Humberto Suazo to get to Rayados, and an exclusive interview with As México remembers it.
“The story is curious. A Suazo we saw it in Colo Colo, played South American and Libertadores, he was an international player, and when we had an approach to see how his situation was, the door opens to have an approach with him. I told Miguel Herrera, ‘you have to go visit him personally’so we traveled to Buenos Aires and then we fly to Santiago”.
“The representative passed by us and we went to a restaurant. There we wait for Humberto, We ate spectacularly and we were returned to the airport to return to Buenos Aires. We slept there because we had to be in Monterrey early and when we were having dinner, the agent tells us that Humberto did not believe that we only went to eat And he told me ‘Yes, he wants to go to Monterrey for the detail of having come here“Added Luis Miguel Salvador.
The day he was injured before a final
Another episode that Salvador related occurred in 2011, before the first final of the Concachampions. “In the first game against Salt Lake we were 2-2 and on the return, a day before the game, we were training at the Salt Lake stadium and Humberto had a discomfort in his shoulder, he wanted to operate and was very restless. There i said ‘Pacifier, you take charge tomorrow of winning and you operate where you want’. The next day we won our first final and with Suazo’s goal, “he said.
