You already know that the best betting software loves to explore the weird world of sports, and today we will talk about a true legend of football: El Trinche!
On April 19, 1946, an unknown soccer legend was born in Rosario, Argentina. His name was Tomás Felipe "El Trinche" Carlovich, a midfielder who wore the number five shirt, but had all the potential in the world to be a number 10. In all, he only played four games in the first division of Argentinean soccer, and was injured in three of those games.
Even with such a small repertoire, he received a jersey from Diego Armando Maradona that read "you were better than me. If it wasn't enough to attract the attention of the greatest idol of Argentinean soccer, years later he would also awake the interest of Pelé.
The first kicks
During his career, El Trinche always played in lower division clubs in Argentina. His proudest achievement was serving his heart club, Central Córdoba of Rosario. He was defined by journalists in many different ways, from "tale character" to "skilled bohemian".
His story is so intriguing that it has become the plot of a book, a play, and countless reports. He started his soccer journey playing in improvised soccer fields and showing all his talent in small teams. In the "terra terra", he caught the attention of Rosário Central, where he would play in 1970.
His first opportunity in the first division would come there, but he played only one game and left disgusted with the managers. He would only return to a big team seven years later, being hired to play as a midfielder for Colón de Santa Fé. However, he was injured in all three games in which he had the chance to play.
Great Pottential
El Trinche's golden chance came in April 1974. On the 17th of that month, the Argentine national team played a friendly match against the regional team of Rosario in front of an audience of 35 thousand people, at Newell's Old Boys stadium. The event was to serve as a preparation for the World Cup in Germany.
Surprisingly, the team from Rosario went on to give a "thrashing" to the selectees. Legend has it that Argentina's coach Vladislao Cap asked the regional team to take Carlovich off the field to avoid further embarrassment - he was substituted in the 60th minute when the score was 3-0.
Rumor has it that several Argentine coaches wanted El Trinche's talent on their teams, but he no longer had the desire to leave Rosario and turned down various invitations.
Relationship With other Legends
According to the stories told about Carlovich, he would have received an offer from Milan, Italy, when he was still playing for Independiente Rivadavia, an Argentinean B series team. In addition, he would have received letters from Pelé himself to play for the New York Cosmos in the United States.
The meeting with Brazil's historic number 10 never took place, but something just as remarkable was to come. In 1993, when Maradona returned to Argentinean soccer to play for Newell's Old Boys, the author of the "hand of God" said something remarkable. "I always thought I was the best in the world, but ever since I arrived in Rosario I've heard wonders about a certain Carlovich. So now I don't know anymore," he declared to the local press.
The two only got to know each other personally in 2020, when El Trinche managed to get Maradona to autograph a Central Córdoba shirt for him. Months after the meeting, the anonymous Argentine star would die of a beating after an attempted bicycle theft. His story on the pitch may not have been the most emblematic of all time, but he certainly left unforgettable memories for the places he passed through and the people he met during his lifetime.
