Nacional: The Pride of Montevideo

Club Nacional de Football, based in Montevideo, Uruguay, is a professional sports club with a storied history. Founded on May 14, 1899, through the merger of Uruguay Athletic Club and Montevideo Fútbol Club, Nacional has become synonymous with success, especially in football. While football remains its primary focus, the club also excels in various other sports like basketball, futsal, tennis, cycling, volleyball, and chess.

Nacional's dominance in domestic football is undeniable, boasting 49 Primera División titles, with the most recent victory in 2022. The club has also secured multiple domestic cups, including eight Copa de Competencia and seven Copa de Honor trophies.

On the international stage, Nacional has made its mark with nine titles recognized by FIFA and CONMEBOL, including three Copa Libertadores. With 618 points, Nacional ranks as the second-best club in the history of the Copa Libertadores. The club has also triumphed in all three Copa Intercontinental tournaments it has contested, becoming a three-time world champion in 1988. Notably, Nacional is the only Uruguayan club to have won the Copa Interamericana twice and the Recopa Sudamericana, capturing the inaugural title in 1989. The club's international accolades include four Copa de Honor Cousenier, three Copa Aldao, two Tie Cups, and one Copa Escobar-Gerona, all of which were jointly organized by the Argentine and Uruguayan Football Associations. With over 166 official titles, Nacional is the most decorated club globally.

The club’s identity is closely tied to the colors white, blue, and red, inspired by the flag of Uruguay's national hero, José Gervasio Artigas. Although some matches are held at Montevideo's Estadio Centenario, Nacional’s home ground is the iconic Parque Central. Located in the La Blanqueada neighborhood, this stadium is historically significant, having hosted one of the opening games of the 1930 FIFA World Cup. Parque Central was also the sole venue for the 1923 and 1924 Copa América editions.

Nacional’s rivalry with cross-town club Peñarol is legendary, with their encounters known as El Clásico del Fútbol Uruguayo. Both clubs have the distinction of never being relegated from Uruguay's top football division.

Nacional’s international success is also reflected in its ranking by CONMEBOL as the best-performing Uruguayan team from 2007 to 2012. The IFFHS recognized Nacional as the best Uruguayan team of the 2001–2010 period and the seventh-best team in South America. By February 2013, the club had reached an impressive 60,000 members.

A Rich History

Nacional’s origins date back to the fusion of Montevideo Football Club and Uruguay Athletic Club on May 14, 1899. The club adopted red, blue, and white, colors historically connected to José Gervasio Artigas. In 1900, Nacional expanded by incorporating Club Defensa and its players, marking the beginning of its journey at the Estadio Gran Parque Central. Despite initial resistance from foreign-controlled clubs, Nacional’s impressive performances earned it a spot in the Uruguayan League in 1901. The club clinched its first Primera División title in 1902, the same year the red jersey was replaced by the iconic white one.

In 1903, Nacional fully represented the Uruguay national football team in an international match, defeating Argentina 3–2, marking a significant milestone in Uruguayan football history. Two years later, Nacional claimed its first international title, the Copa de Honor Cousenier.

The club underwent a significant transformation in 1911 under the leadership of José María Delgado, opening its doors to players from lower social classes. This change led to the inclusion of legendary figures like Abdón Porte, who became a symbol of Nacional until his untimely death in 1918.

During the early 20th century, Nacional’s players pioneered a unique playing style characterized by less physical confrontation and more imaginative play, including fast combinations, dribbles, and short passes. This approach led to a period of success, including the 1915 Triple Crown, which comprised the Primera División, Tie Cup, and Copa de Honor Cousenier. Nacional continued to dominate, winning multiple league titles and international tournaments, solidifying its place as a football powerhouse

Remembering Amadeo Carrizo, River Plate’s revolutionary goalkeeper

A big thank you to the great Mouhamad Rachini who wrote the following about the late great Argentine goalkeeper Amadeo Carrizo who passed away just a few days ago. Make sure to follow Rachini on Twitter at ThatArabKeeper!

–

When we think back to the iconic goalkeepers of the 1950s and 1960s, we often focus on two Europeans; Lev Yashin of the Soviet Union and Gyula Grosics of Hungary

For obvious reasons, these two are often credited with being the first modern goalkeepers. Yashin was well-known for his organizational skills, his vocal and physical command of his box, and for his eagerness to play off of his line. And Grosics was a big proponent of the sweeper-keeper style of play, and his willingness to handle the ball and act as an eleventh outfielder allowed Hungary to dominate international football in the early 1950s.

But while Yashin and Grosics were excelling in Europe, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, another goalkeeper was captivating South American audiences with his own brand of daring, revolutionary football. This was before the era of Hugo Gatti, René Higuita and José Luis Chilavert; in fact, those goalkeepers have cited him as being their inspiration.

From 1945 to 1970, South American audiences were entertained by a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, named Amadeo Carrizo.

Carrizo debuted in 1945 as a teenager, and he didn’t call it a career until 25 years later at the age of 44. Between 1945 and 1970, Carrizo made over 600 club appearances.

Of those 25 years, 23 of them were spent in the service of the great Buenos Aires-based club River Plate. He made his club debut in the middle of the La Máquina era, where legends like José Manuel Moreno, Félix Loustau, Adolfo Pedernera, Ángel Labruna and a young Alfredo Di Stéfano had propelled the club to national dominance.

Carrizo won two Argentine Primera División titles with that set of players, as well as two Copa Aldaos, which was a precursor to the Copa Libertadores. Despite his young age — he accomplished these feats before he turned 22 — Carrizo was already showing signs of greatness.

But it was after the end of the Máquina era that Carrizo really shined. In 1948, Carrizo made 15 or more appearances in a single season for the first time in his career. A season later, he kept 15 clean sheets in 34 appearances, including 14 clean sheets in the league.

Three years after that, in 1952, Carrizo won his first league trophy in the post-Máquina era. Carrizo appeared in 22 matches and kept two clean sheets as River Plate won their first Primera División title since 1947.

Carrizo would go on to win four more league titles in the next five seasons, including three straight between 1955 and 1957. Carrizo made 169 league appearances between the 1952 and 1957 seasons, keeping 48 clean sheets.

This would prove to be Carrizo’s most successful club tenure, although he did keep a career-high 16 clean sheets in a 1966 season that saw him backstop River Plate to the Copa Libertadores final.

Carrizo would call it a career four years later at the age of 44. By then, the Argentine had joined Millonarios of Colombia, with whom he had played two seasons with.

Despite playing his entire career as a goalkeeper, Carrizo wasn’t actually too big of a fan of saving goals. In fact, he seemed to prefer scoring them.

“I always liked to play upfront. Those up front are the ones who have fun,” he once told Un Cano. “The goalkeeper stands there like a sap hoping he doesn’t concede. When he does everyone is already criticizing him – ‘What did he do?’ ‘Why did he come out late?’”

This probably explains why, unlike most goalkeepers from his era, Carrizo refused to remain in the shadows. Instead, Carrizo took up a proactive role. He stayed in constant communication with his backline, alerting them of incoming danger and instructing them of potential offensive outlets. He would also open himself up as a passing option to a teammate under pressure, and when he’d receive the ball, he’d venture out of his box and take on opposition players, much to the shock of his teammates and fans.

One famous occasion occurred in a 1954 edition of the Superclásico. Carrizo obtained possession of the ball and was immediately hounded by Jose Borello. The Boca Juniors striker was one of the league’s top scorers, and with Carrizo alone in possession, Borello attempted to unnerve the goalkeeper into giving up the ball.

But Carrizo had other ideas. Rather than mindlessly booting the ball out of bounds, Carrizo challenged his opponent mano-a-mano. Despite pressure from Borello, Carrizo dribbled around his adversary before laying it off to a teammate.

River Plate won the derby 3-0, and Carrizo’s moment of magic was the game’s main talking point.

Carrizo played at a time when a goalkeeper’s only job was to save shots, but the Argentine rejected that premise. Carrizo believed that a goalkeeper should be as comfortable handling the ball as any of his teammates. And although he didn’t always come out on top, Carrizo was supremely confident in his abilities.

But Carrizo was as good with his hands as he was with his feet. The Argentine was an excellent saver of the ball, capable of stopping shots with two hands or one strong fist. Carrizo was particularly fond of handling the ball with one hand. In fact, one of his trademarks was rising for a deep cross and comfortably snagging the ball out of the air with one outstretched arm.

That circus act had a home in South America, where creative and acrobatic football reigned supreme. Unfortunately, Carrizo failed to have the same effect on an international stage. 

Carrizo was only capped 20 times by the Argentine national team across a 10-year period. These include three caps in a disastrous 1958 World Cup that saw Argentina lose two games — including a 6-1 loss to Czechoslovakia — and finish bottom of their group.

Still, Carrizo had some fans from abroad, one of whom was Lev Yashin himself. The two goalkeepers only ever played against each other once — a friendly club match in 1968.

But it’s clear the two greatly respected each other. Maybe it’s because of the revolutionary goalkeeper ideas they shared, or perhaps it was just due to the fact that, as goalkeepers, they knew how difficult it was to excel in a position everyone disliked. 

Whatever it was, the two had a strong bond. Carrizo and Yashin appeared in a cover photo for the magazine El Gráfico in 1968, and following their friendly match, Yashin gifted Carrizo his gloves as a token of appreciation.

  Carrizo died on March 20, 2020; exactly 30 years after Yashin passed away. Carrizo was laid to rest at the age of 93, just over a week after he had undergone back surgery.

The tributes came in quickly. River Plate got the hashtag #AmadeoEterno trending and called his death “a day of great pain for all the people of River Plate.” Boca Juniors also sent their condolences, calling him a “legend of Argentine soccer” on Twitter. The Argentine FA’s Twitter account called him the “glory of our football”.

Tributes also came from other former Argentina goalkeepers including Ubaldo Fillol, who called Carrizo “an example for all those who love the goalkeeper position”, and Nery Pumpido, who tweeted that Carrizo’s “teachings will remain for a lifetime.”

Carrizo wasn’t your ordinary goalkeeper; he was a ground-breaking revolutionary who was well ahead of his time. He played the position of goalkeeper as it should’ve been played; proactive in handling situations of both an offensive and defensive nature, daring in both corralling loose balls and challenging opponents, and creative in both defending his goal and attacking that of his opponent’s.

And while his European counterparts may get most of the praise, history will never forget the play of Argentina’s capped custodian.

Rest in peace, Carrizo. #AmadeoEterno

8 DE AGOSTO El Rojo buscará en Japón su título número veinte El resurgir de Independiente con Ariel Holan les sirve a los de Avellaneda para ganar terreno en un ítem que habían descuidado en los últimos años: las copas internacionales. El Rey de Copas (ganó el apodo el 29 de agosto de 1976 tras conseguir su duodécimo trofeo -el 12 es el rey en la baraja española-), acumula 19 títulos internacionales y se acercó a Boca, máximo ganador continental. El miércoles 8 de agosto en Japón enfrentará al Cerezo Osaka por la Copa Suruga Bank en busca de una nueva conquista, la número 20. Una aclaración: en este repaso se cuentan todos los títulos en copas internacionales oficiales. Incluso antes de las que organizó Conmebol o Uefa, se disputaban las pautadas entre asociaciones nacionales como la AFA-AUF (Uruguay) en Sudamérica, o las de España, Italia, Francia y Portugal (Copa Latina). Las Copas de Independiente El Rojo levantó siete Libertadores (1964, 1965, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1984), dos Intercontinentales (1973, 1984), tres Interamericanas (1973, 1974, 1976), dos Supercopas (1994, 1995), dos Sudamericanas (2010 y 2017), dos copas Ricardo Aldao (1938 y 1939) y una Recopa (1995). La gran polémica en torno a la cantidad de títulos internacionales que tiene cada club se dio después de una comunicación confusa difundida por la Conmebol en 2015. La entidad sudamericana dijo en primer término que incluía a las Copas Aldao y Tie Cup Competition como títulos oficiales pero enseguida dio marcha atrás e informó que no avala los torneos disputados antes de 1960. “Las copas de clubes disputadas previamente a 1960 no son avaladas por la Conmebol, sin perjuicio que lo pudieran ser por otras entidades, federaciones y/o asociaciones deportivas. Por ende, no entran en el cómputo de títulos internacionales”, comunicaron. Más allá de esto, de acuerdo al registro que lleva Clarín, deben computarse todos los títulos internacionales oficiales. Ahí cabe incluir a la Copa Aldao, o también llamada Copa Río de La Plata, que fue una competición de carácter internacional organizada por la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA) y la Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol (AUF) en la que se enfrentaban,
