When you’re a kid and you begin to play football, you’re full of hopes and dreams that you believe you’ll achieve because you think you can. From the age of 10, I’ve seen teammates, some who were better than me, get left behind. And this is nothing more than a learning process that speeds up when you become a professional at the age of 17 and you begin to see that the football you knew has nothing to do with professional football.
That’s when Luis appeared in my life. He’s my football professor, the one who put a stop to my ambitions until I was prepared, the one who gave me advice and who explained to me which teammates were the ones who genuinely liked me and which were the ones who had ulterior motives, as well as how the media functioned at this level. He reinforced the values that I had learned during my entire life, those of the football from before. As he told me almost daily, “Niño! You don’t know anything about anything.” With the passing of time, I realized that he did this because he was fond of me. To be frank, I never saw him like this with any other player. He was preparing me so that I could get to where I wanted to be, and he was doing so with affection he always had for me. He believed in me.
During our second period together, he did with the national team what he did with me previously. He took our heads out of the clouds and he told us, “get rid of those egos, you’re not better than anyone until you’re a team.” This process was full of rough patches, of enemies on the road that we left behind because we were convinced that we needed to get by them to achieve our goal. And by the time we finally understood it, his speech about how we could be the champions of Europe was no longer just a motivating speech, but rather a real objective. He made us believe that in football is the first step towards the most difficult dreams. And this was when we were at our lowest point, when the results weren’t what we wanted and the doubts from the outside were bigger than ever. But we lived in a bubble that Luis created especially for us and only for us. This strategy had a happy ending and he will be known as the man who changed Spanish football, the one that made us dream, believe, fight and win. Before each game, we would shout, “Win, win and win!”
He’s no longer with us now, but those of us who knew him have already won. Those of us who learned from him will win again, and those of us reading about his passing will thank him because we will win again, and probably always win. You will never be gone, because you left us an indelible legacy.
Thank you, viejo. Rest in peace.
