DON ALFREDO DI STEFANO, THE PHENOMENON OF THE CAPRESE BLOOD, HAS STOPPED RUNNING
She stopped forever ‘saeta rubia, “the thunderbolt blonde, or el aleman, German, because of his blond hair. Alfredo di Stefano, Capri blood in his veins, native Argentine and Spanish life, he stopped racing at age 88. He killed a heart attack. Di Stefano is a football legend. He has never won a World Cup and he’s gone while playing the world. His palmares from sample 1 who won the Copa America in his early twenties, 8 times champion of Spain with Real, 5 consecutive European Cups always with the “Merengues” and scoring in all the finals, 2 Golden Balls. Di Stefano is madridista. He is the football history of the Blancos. It ‘was the first player total. He played to goal but fell often in midfield or defense you found to lend a hand and then set off towards the goal.
Elected Cup twice (1957 and 1959), Di Stefano had made 49 goals in 58 games in the Champions Cup (now the Champions League). In 1989, a jury formed by the readers of France Football magazine placed him at the top of the special list ‘Super Golden Ball, while in front of the prestigious names of players like Cruyff, Michel Platini and Beckenbauer. Even the life and works of the thunderbolt blonde go to Italy, to the beautiful island of Capri, where Don Alfredo often visited his cousins Theodoric and Raphael. Difficult to establish a ranking on the most ‘all-time great football. Of course if we put ourselves in third place Pele, the first two places there are undoubtedly two Argentines (Maradona and Di Stefano) with Italian blood. Indeed Neapolitan blood, el nino de oro, and Capri, the saeta rubia. Adios Don Alfredo.
