Ubaldo Matildo
Fillol
,
"El Pato
", former goalkeeper of the Argentine national team, once again regretted this Monday
the theft
he suffered on Saturday of
his gold medal
won in the
78 World Cup,
he assured that
he is thinking about leaving the country
and announced that
he is offering a reward
to recover his highest award.
The former coach also maintained that he is not leaving because his current economic possibilities do not allow it, but if the scenario were different, he would do so.
In addition, he asked that
"whoever regrets it"
or knows something about the award,
contact him
and he
will reward them in exchange for recovering the decoration
.
In statements to
Radio La Red
, the former Quilmes, River, Racing and Vélez, among other clubs, said that he is "regretted" by what happened while
he was celebrating Olga's birthday, his wife, with his family
.
"I'm
hurt
, but I don't let my guard down at all," the "Duck" began, although he added that he lives with "a
very ugly feeling
" since he feels "empty and tired."
"
They took away my sports career
," he crudely summarizes.
In 2009, Ubaldo Filliol with Sergio Goycochea, in an event prior to the 2010 South Africa World Cup.
"I'm sad. I
have suffered two very serious robberies
in Quilmes, when I lived there. They kidnapped me, they hurt me," he recalled, as he did with other similar episodes when he moved to the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Belgrano in 2011.
On that occasion he believed that the medal won on June 25, 1978 at the Monumental stadium, after defeating Holland, had been stolen by criminals along with "a lot of other things."
On that occasion, he believed that the medal had been stolen, however, he said that a few months later
it appeared in one of his daughters' rooms
"in a little box", along with a watch that he had given to his wife.
After the painful memory, Fillol confirmed with a noticeable tone of sadness that that box
is now in the hands of others
, along with other valuable objects that "represent" his sports career.
Fillol was River's goalkeeper in 1975, when the Millionaire claimed champion after 18 years.
Among the achievements that the goalkeeper who wore the number 5 of the first world champion with the blue and white team garnered under the three sticks, the title
with River in 1975
also stands out , after 18 years of drought, and
the 1988 Super Cup
, defending the colors
of Racing
, a team he also managed.
"I'm tired, hurt. I told my children that today I have no economic or sporting possibilities to go to another country, but if I had,
I would have left
."
And he added: "It's the
first time
I have that feeling that I'm tired,
bored
."
Less than 48 hours after being the victim of a new incident of insecurity, Fillol speculated that there was a possibility that the incident
would have been even more serious
if he entered his house and the criminals were still at his home in Villa del Parque.
"I don't know if I went in and the thieves were inside,
if they shot me, I was with my family
. They broke into my room, they broke into their house like punks. So much so that I still have the robbery and robbery guys here doing all kinds of inquiries," he said.
But one of the greatest leaders in the history of Argentine football later reiterated that he still has his "guard" up.
"I didn't lower it, but
I want to leave. It's going to be difficult
, but if the opportunity presents itself, I'll leave."
"Five armed robberies, they took everything from me. They took away my sporting life. I am empty," he confessed again.
Finally, he said that on the recommendation of his lawyer,
Fernando Burlando
, he decided to offer a reward to recover his world champion medal.
"I put
on my networks that I offer a reward
for anyone who repents, totally in reserve. Because they
are not going to give it the value that I can give it
. If someone buys it, too."
On his Instagram account, Fillol wrote, along with a video: "Thank you very much to everyone for the love I received these days, to the police for their commitment, to the media for the dissemination and to Burlando for accompanying us and giving us their support right now."
Then Fillol expanded his proposal.
"As a result of the facts that are publicly known, I want to state that there will be a reward for
those who provide information
so that the stolen objects appear, among which is the world champion medal from the 78 World Cup. Send information privately to my account Instagram or Burlando," he said.
Ubaldo Fillol and the "embrace of the soul" with Alberto Tarantini.
And he closed with his usual phrase "hug of the soul", in reference to the legendary photo taken by Ricardo Alfieri, in which the goalkeeper is seen with Alberto Tarantini and a man without arms, after winning the final.
