Career

Club career

Amadeo Carrizo began his football career in 1945 with CA River Plate in Buenos Aires, where he made his debut on May 6, 1945. There he was part of the famous La Maquina , which won numerous championship titles for River Plate in the 1940s and 1950s. Overall, Carrizo won with River Plate, where he played with other great footballers of the time such as Ángel Labruna , Félix Loustau , Ermindo Onega , Walter Gómez and Federico Vairo , between 1947 and 1957 seven times the Argentine football championship, as well as twice the Copa Aldao and once the Copa Ibargurs . From 1948 he was the undisputed goalkeeper. In 1966 he reached the finals of the Copa Libertadores with River , where CA Peñarol from Uruguay finally got the upper hand after three games.

Carrizo played for River Plate for twenty-three years from 1945 to 1968 and made 521 league appearances for the club, making him the record player to this day. On July 14, 1968, he set another record that is still valid today with 769 minutes without conceding a goal.

1969 joined CD Los Millonarios from Colombia's capital Bogotá , where he ended his active career on April 17, 1970 after 53 games for Los Millonarios. There he earned the nickname Tarzán with his often artistic parades .

In 1969 he strengthened two Peruvian clubs in two games: Alianza Lima against Lev Yashins Dynamo Moscow and Club Universitario de Deportes against SC Corinthians Paulista from Brazil.

He is generally considered to be one of the first football goalkeepers to take an active part in the game by running out and playing the ball with their foot to a teammate without having picked it up beforehand. His tackles and dribbles were skillful, and his up to sixty-meter passes on striker Walter Gómez became part of his legend. He was also one of the first goalkeepers in Argentina to play with gloves. Here he followed the example of the Italian goalkeeper Giovanni Viola in 1957 and he imported his first from Italy.

National team

Argentina with Carrizo at the Taça das Nações 1964

Amadeo Carrizo was used in the Argentine national soccer team between 1954 and 1964 a total of twenty times. From Argentina coach Guillermo Stábile he was appointed to the South American squad for the 1958 World Cup in Sweden . At the tournament he was used as a regular goalkeeper in all three games of his team and also had to endure the 1: 6 in the last group game against Czechoslovakia . Argentina was eliminated in the preliminary round as the bottom group behind Germany , Northern Ireland and Czechoslovakia.

In 1964 he won the Taça das Nações in Brazil with Argentina , which was held there for the 50th anniversary of the Brazilian Football Association . In addition to the host Brazil (world champion 1962), England (world champion 1966) and Portugal (third in world championship 1966) also took part in this international football tournament. Argentina defeated all three teams.

Trainer

additional

In 1950 he had a smaller role in the movie fun game Cinco grandes y una chica ("The five greats and the girl") directed by Augusto César Vatteone .

On the initiative of Carrizos and some colleagues, June 12th, his birthday, was declared Dia del Arquero (" Goalie Day") in 2000 . Historically, Dia del Arquero in Argentina is a humorous name for a day when something improbable will happen, for example when someone will finally pay their debts; or that a club from the second link celebrates the championship.

Since August 17, 2008, the lower sector of the Platea General Belgrano , the main stand, of the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti has been named after him. On December 27, 2013, he was named the only honorary president of River Plate to date.

Amadeo Carrizo, who lived in Buenos Aires in the middle-class neighborhood of Villa Devoto , died on March 20, 2020 after a 10-day hospital stay in the Belgrano district , just under three kilometers from the Estadio Monumental, at the age of 93 years.
