El notable libro del Pollo Véliz y la foto ausente

Colaboración de Esteban Valenzuela

Notable el libro Sin amagues que me envió el querido Leonardo Pollo Véliz, donde entrelaza con humildad total 60 años de historia del fútbol, la sociedad y sus luchas democráticas y describe sus esfuerzos por introducir la cultura en su medio, especialmente el teatro que ayuda a forjar carácter y saber cumplir distintos roles.

Nunca se refiere a sus asistencias y goles excepcionales, ni tampoco profundiza en sus méritos de llegar con Colo-Colo y Unión Española a final de la Libertadores, y lograr como DT el tercer lugar del mundial Sub 17 de Japón en 1993. Por eso nos abrazamos por tercera vez; siendo un joven fanático de O’Higgins lo hice como miembro del Clan Celestín en 1982, cuando terminó su carrera que había comenzado en los 60s en Everton. El 93 premiamos a la sub 17 siendo alcalde de Rancagua, y luego coincidimos con nuestras familias en unas cabañas del Cajón del Maipo en Semana Santa. Allí hablamos mucho de fútbol y política. El libro hace descripción con muy buen relato de los claroscuros y las epopeyas; lo marca a fuego el 73 y habla de la transversalidad secreta en lo deportivo que iba de Abel Alonso hasta Ascui en lo empresarial, pasando por la persecución que sufrieron muchos como el Dr. Reyes.

Muestra el periplo hacia el empate en Moscú en pleno 73, las locuras y corruptelas de parte de la dirigencia, el catolicismo comunista de su amigo Caszely, su visión socialista democrática, sus aprendizajes con el Zorro Álamos, Luis Santibáñez y el aporte de Mirko Josic en la modernización del fútbol, previo a Bielsa, contribución clave para el proceso que llevó con éxito el 93.

De la memoria del Pollo vertida en 185 páginas, hago mención a su perfil del loco Castillo, la epopeya de Lo Hermida y su tributo a una sola voz del Colo 1973 y el Ballet Azul. Pues resulta que en lo más oscuro de fines de los 70 o primera mitad de los 80, los esfuerzos de una asistente social no daban frutos porque los vecinos estaban agarrados del moño. Ella estaba submarineada en ese sector popular luego de denunciar la masacre de Laja, perpetrada por una entente clásica de esos tiempos (uniformados y civiles, pertrechados con recursos de empresas de la zona). Era el absurdo de tiempos de odio y división provocada: importaba menos la prostitución o la indignidad del PEM y el POJH, precipitada por el hambre, que unirse frente a la adversidad. Como era costumbre en esa época, la valentía de la asistente social convocó a la parroquia, a un periodista, a la organización vecinal y a futbolistas estrella, entre ellos el Pollo, para hacer un partido que sellara la paz entre l@s vecinos. No se acuerda el Pollo si los vecinos unidos le ganaron a nuestras estrellas futbolísticas de entonces, pero el hecho es que sí se fundieron en un abrazo de paz. Capaz que en esa concertación se incubara lo que más tarde fue la derrota del dictador.

El loco Castillo de Viña resume la ilusión, la suerte y devoción de un hombre sencillo por el equipo de su ciudad, Everton, al que le puso todo su tiempo y dinero, ganado en la Polla Gol. Terminó mal el loco, consumido por la droga bajo algún puente del estero de Viña, pero nunca le perdió el amor a su Oro y Cielo. Y la dedicatoria del Pollo Véliz al Ballet Azul de Sánchez, Carlos Campos, Rubén Marcos se entrelaza en las mismas páginas con las grandes letras de homenaje al Colo 73 de Galindo, Rubilar, Leonel Herrera. Gran generosidad de Véliz para destacar lo que es la esencia del fútbol, a ratos desencaminada: un espacio de encuentro y goce en el que se aplaude a todo el que maravilla con el balón, sea de aquí o de allá.

Un libro imperdible del estudiante porteño que educó futbolistas, viendo la Negra Esther de Andrés Pérez, que reconoce extravíos nocturnos, que detalla el miedo al encontrarse con el Mamo Contreras…. El caballero dotado de rapidez, táctica y visión global que nos lega un libro imperdible.

Al final, están las fotos de su historia pero faltó una; la de su paso por O’Higgins el 82, que aquí compartimos, sin amagues, gracias a la colección de Leo Sandoval.
