Tomás Roncero’s passion for Real Madrid began in his childhood. The Carrusel Deportivo analyst spoke with Dani Garrido and explained his first visit to what would be his usual stadium in the future: the Santiago Bernabéu.
“In November 1973, when I was eight years old. My uncle Luis came from town and told my father to take me to football. We went to see a Madrid – Las Palmas. Impressive: 5-0. When I entered the field, the sensation was of a little boy who for the first time sees the house of his dreams “, he began to relate.
“There was an incredible noise and I said ‘joe, papa’. Then a man appeared with a gray suit, an imposing hat. My father told me that that was Bernabéu. I found it imposing “, added.
“Goalkeeper Junquera, Zoco and Pirri behind. Pirri scored two goals. I remember Netzer, who raised his head from the center of the field and crossed a 50-meter pass. At that time a Spaniard did not lift the ball more than 20 meters. I asked him to my father to see how he had arrived and he told me ‘son, he’s German’ “, explained.
“Óscar ‘Pinino’ Mas played upstairs, who became famous for boleas. They told me that he is now a taxi driver in Buenos Aires. But this was my first experience, it was a great game. ¿How could I not be from Madrid for the rest of my life? My father was the culprit “, concluded.
