Mati Fernández

It was in 2006. It is thought that being older you get the true tastes, however here does not happen that. Ten years ago I started to see his goals every week on the Sunday news. Then I saw them in the middle of the week, when that Colo Colo full of stars passed every phase of the "Copa Sudamericana", guided by Matías Fernandez. "The" 14 "of the whites is a crack" said Fernando Niembro, who wanted to see him play "a little bit" in Argentina. That was how I met him, one free shot after another, the "Maradonian" goal, the "matirabona" and the prize for the best player in America. From Chilean father and Argentine mother, born on May 15, 1986 in the Caballito neighborhood of Buenos Aires. There began to take his first steps Matías Ariel Fernandez Fernandez, however soon he would cross the mountain range to go and live in La Calera. Later, Matías, who was 14 years old, played a championship final for the club "Union La Calera" against Colo Colo, when they were impressed by his talent. He immediately went to live in the pension of the "Tía Adriana" in departmental. The rest is known history. Part of this story is that after going to Europe, he never again became the player that we all enjoyed in Chile. That's something I've always wanted to ask you even though I'm almost sure of the answer. It is here that it makes perfect sense to study the psychology of sport.
