Carla Cortéz, the archer of a Ducilo who made history

Carla Cortéz traveled in a constant dream during the months since 2024Ducilo’s goalkeeper stood out under the three sticks of Berazategui’s Tricolor and her personal performance led her to train with Las Leonas and help her club reach the first women’s final in its history.

“The truth is that we are a growing team, we have been doing hard work for three, four years, and well, Now it was time to show on the field everything that we have grown and have to grow, because it is a group that has no ceiling and we are here for more.“, he began by clarifying Carlita.

Ducilo came to the match for the title of the Baires Championship Cup against Lomas, and although he had a great final instance, the trophy went to the Las Conejas side, but how the Arenales team were already classified for lifting the Metro Cup … that quota ended for those of Berazategui: “Let’s enjoy next year, the Super 8 is a very important tournamentalso very good, in which we can measure ourselves against other good teams, which have also recently emerged as champions, and we are going to show what we know how to do”.

Beyond the evolution that occurred in the squad and the way of executing the challenges, Cortez is sure that they can continue to grow: “We are a team that wants to improve day after day, there is an idea in the teamthe coach has a game plan, We tried to implement it in all the training sessions, and then translate it into the games, and we were projecting it, for now it is going well”.

Leaving the present a little behind, we went even further in time to investigate the beginnings of carli and the first memory of how attachment to his position arose: “I started in seventh grade, I think I was 13 years old, it was a coincidence, because we took turnsone day it was my turn, they liked how I saved and from there I didn’t want to leave again. “He started to catch me, I was a defender and I stayed in the goal.”

And he added, “In sixth grade I realized that it was my place, when I started training as a goalkeeper, and today I continue training with him, so years ago, with Miguel Ibarraand since that time I liked the training, I got the hang of it, and from there I told my mother that I wanted to be in goal.”

Carla had a dream year, but it is difficult for her to assimilate the moment and understand the dimension of the things she can achieve under the three suits: “Girls always tell me the same thing, I’m kind of embarrassing about thatIt’s like it’s hard for me to accept things, but I think I’ve had other years that were better than this one, but in 2024 I felt more mature, more confident, I’m 28 years old, So it was a really nice year and being able to be recognized for the entire journey I took is a pamper to the heart.”.

Besidesdared to define what it would mean to win a title with Ducilo: “A lot, I’ve been here since I was 8 years old, we are one of the first Ladies A teams, which is getting to play in big championships, it would be history and it is already a huge source of pride.”

But, within this context and the great moment they are experiencing, what makes the goalkeeper continue dreaming?: “The girls. The team is very united, every year we strengthen it more, so they always motivate me to continue more, more and more. Also the goalkeeper’s training is good, so it kind of motivates me to continue improving myself.because I always say that one never stops learning. Every year you learn new things and you have to continue improving them”.

Ducilo was one step away from playing the A/B Repechage to be promoted to the First Division of the Metro for women, but a ruling by the disciplinary committee ruled that Olivos be the one to play that spot against San Lorenzo: “It’s an issue because we were fighting there to play in the Playoffs, it was a dream, really. It would have been spectacular, incredible, something historic for the club as well.”.

Despite the failures that left Berazategui’s Tricolor without the possibility of playing the match, Carla limited herself to talking about what gives her the most satisfaction… her team: “It is a pride, I am very happy, it is something that was always expected with this team. We have also had another very good litter, but we were never able to get there and now it is a young team, so it is good to be able to continue dreaming of more,” Cortéz sealed.
