Carlos Monzón and Nicolino
Locche were the most admired world boxing champions and, from 1978
on, we stopped being the soccer "moral champions" to achieve two world
titles for the regular level (1978 and 1986), and two in the junior level
(1979 and 1995), good achievements in some other contests and an incredible
exodus due to the quantity and quality of good players (not only soccer
players) who emigrated to more competitive, better paid and organized
tournaments. Italy,
Spain, France and other countries, especially the European ones, welcomed
the Argentine players and coaches in the areas of soccer, volleyball,
rugby, hockey, basketball and cycling. Several even naturalized in order
to take part in the national teams of their host countries and also to
stop being foreigners in their respective clubs. Left: Carlos Monzón. Right: Nicolino Loche. |
