Aymar fight: to accompany Sole García in his day to his souvenir of Sydney 2000

Luciana Aymar is synonym for hockey, not only Argentine but also worldwide. The best player in history, part of immense achievements with the lions as the first Olympic medal in Sydney 2000, He was present in a very special afternoon-night for Argentine hockey with the reopening of the “Soledad García” court at the Mario Alberto Kempes Sports Pole. In a hand -to -hand note with AM850.com, Lucha referred to what it means having accompanied her friend at that time and also remembered the Sydney Olympic Games.

“Cute to have come. At first I had told him no, because he had a labor commitment in Buenos Aires, but I did everything faster I could to take the plane and be here. I know how important this particular event is for her, the reopening of the court, and for me too, because I shared with Sole beautiful moments “Rosarina began. And he added: “We live together in the Cenardwe have contained ourselves at many times that we have needed and we have many anecdotes together. He had the need to share this moment with her. I love to see her photo at the door of the stadium, what people love her because she is an emblem for Argentine sport. It seems to me that this is very good to the Cordoba hockey and also the Argentine, because this affection continues and praising the players of the selection that have given so much to hockey. “

“With Sole we were the smallest. Our cabal was that I always combed her and made the typical braids to play. I think that helped me a lot to concentrate on the game, it was our time and Everyone knew that nobody had to bother usthat I had to comb it “he declared laughs about anecdotes with Sole in Sydney 2000. And then continued: “Every time I had to sleep with Sole it was a pleasure because we accompanied us a lotimagine that we slept all the time together in the Cenard. Of course, Sole at night he spoke asleep and many times I sang songs from Argentina asleep or said that we have to accommodate that painting ‘and I said’ What a picture, Sole? ´. Then he went back to sleep, he told her that she had to rest that tomorrow we played. Above it was hard for me to sleep and once I reconciled the dream the “fat” appeared singing songs from Argentina and I didn’t give more hahaha. Oh well, I have very nice anecdotes with her and we were going from one place to another together. “

“If I had to choose a moment with Sole García, it would be the 2010 World Cup, which were very strong things that we lived. We had such a strong chemistry inside the court, I think I was never with a player with whom I knew what I was going to do perfectly with the ball, the movements he did and where he had to pass it as with her. I always looked for her, there ran other players like Mechi (Margalot) asking me for the Bocha and I or Bola, she passed it to Sole, obvious. Mechi told me ´Alucha, pass it that I am alone ‘and I thought no matter how alone and Sole is with five players, I was going to pass it to Sole hahaha. “

Already going a little more towards the theme of the 25th anniversary of Sydney 2000, Aymar talked about whether they are aware of what they generated from that JJ.OO. until today: “I think that None of the 16 players and the coaching staff is really aware of what was achieved with hockey. I began to value my career much more and the Argentine hockey revolution with the lions once I retired. When you are inside, you are all the time with a new purpose and tournament, so you are not aware of what you are causing. Today I am grateful for everything I could play, what we could achieve with the Argentine National Team and in my personal career, because it was a fight with myself too. The hockey generated a great personality. “

“25 years ago, Lucha was very rebellious in the game, I played a starter but the responsibilities were the greatest, so I just taking a certain prominence. Cacho (vigil) told me ´Lucha, stop making so many scribbles on the court, it is forward that you have to go. Of course, I went to one, I came back, I spent it again, I went back hahaha. It was my style of play and measure that the years passed I learned a lot with these great coaches I had. I changed my style of play a lot, I forged a more structured personality, I was a more resilient person, with effort and dedication, and that was given to me. From the 2000 Sydney fight to the fight he stopped playing, they are two totally different players “Luciana Aymar closed on her way in the Argentine National Team, with an anecdote in between with Sergio “Cacho” and an explanation of how it evolved as a player.

On September 29, 2000, the Lionesses achieved an achievement that will be remembered for a lifetime and began a golden age that continues until today. So great was what was achieved in Sydney, that today a player like Soledad García is recognized with her name on a court in her province and is accompanied by Luciana Aymar, her friend and the best player in the history of hockey.
