The ball goes to the right band of the attack of Colo Colo. It is dominated by its end, which begins a slalom. One, two markers along the way. A third, sprawled. The goalkeeper, defeated by the violence of a shot that surpasses him. It is not another goal in the history of the Chilean Cacique: It is the goal that saves him from relegation who would have been the first in its 95-year history. And it is also the first cry in the professional career of Pablo Solari, a young man from San Luis who was born in March 2001 and has soccer in his blood.

Solari is from Arizona, San Luis, and learned to kick in Sports Arizona. From there he went to Rumbo a Vélez, in La Pampa. And it was in the Pampean club where he saw it Sebastián Pait, former director of scouting of Workshops, from Córdoba, who signed it. “He got it. Talleres invests heavily in recruiting.We have contacts and evaluators throughout the country. We attach importance to the training of footballers, who also finish school at that stage, “he says. Maximiliano Salas, Former player and member of the child-youth soccer of Talleres, the club that still owns the Solari file today.

“Here he played a lot of rightmost, but you can also go left because master both profiles, despite being right-handed, “Salas describes Solari. And he adds: “It is fast, powerful and strong and has a biotype of an athlete, with good technical qualities: he kicks well and has a great one on one. “ Some of this was shown in the play of the saving goal for Colo Colo, which will remain for years in the retinas of the Cacique fans. It would have been so traumatic to lose the category for the white team that before the game there were violent threats to the squad. Well, a 19-year-old foreigner ended up solving the situation.

“Part of our youth strategy is that boyshave international competition. That’s why we play a tournament in Ecuador called “La Mitad del Mundo” and another in Ypiranga, Brazil. Pablo [Solari] he was in this whole process, “recalls Salas. Last November, the adolescent crossed the Andes mountain range. Gustavo Quinteros as a coach, he arrived Walter Lemma as a field assistant. El Chavo, a former Lanús midfielder, among other clubs, had had Solari in reserve and the fourth in Talleres. Lemma knew what Solari could give. He remembered him and managed a loan with a purchase option of 50% of the token for about $ 700,000, that will expire on June 30 of this year. Solari landed in the Cacique cadet division, the reserve, with a view to playing in the first. Over time he earned a place on the team. With his goal, a preferential place among the Cacique fans.

Comparisons serve to contextualize. Anyone watching him play might think Solari is a Cristian Pavón’s pigeon, another Cordovan trained in workshops who made a career thanks to his dribbling and dribbling on the bands. “Pavón is faster, but both have interesting technical qualities”, ditch Salas, who still works at the T today and knows all the youth of the Cordovan club. Like Pavón, Solari already knows what it is to wear the shirt of the Argentine national team: did it during the tournament of L’Alcudia (Valencia) of 2019, directed by a namesake of his, Esteban Solari.

Son of a footballer and with brothers also players, Pablo Solari told in an interview with the San Luis The Journal of the Republic what identifies with Matías Suárez, another sharp Cordovan, who was trained in Belgrano and had a great participation in Anderlecht, in Belgium. And now he shows his talent in Marcelo Gallardo’s River. “In Arizona, with the children, I played 5, then I went on to play 9 and in Talleres I was already at the wheel, a traditional 8. Then they tested me as an extreme, and that’s what I’m playing,” he said in that talk, days later of his call to the selected one.

Colo Colo appreciates it. For Solari, the white club is still top-notch.
