from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlos Garcés (born December 24, 1900 , † September 21, 1980 ) was a Mexican football player on the position of the right winger . Garcés is considered to be the inventor of the chiquitibum .

Life

1923 Garcés was part of the squad of Club América , who played the Mexican national team on his trip to Guatemala in January 1923 , when three test matches were played against the southern neighbor, in which Garcés always participated. During the return visit of the Guatemalans in December 1923, when there were three more games against each other, Garcés denied all encounters and even scored two goals; one in the 2-0 victory on December 12th and another in the 3-3 win on December 16, 1923.

Garcés also came to the Olympic soccer tournament of 1928 in both Mexicans games against Spain (1: 7) and Chile (1: 3), so that he played all eight international games that "El Tri" completed in the 1920s .

During this time Garcés was exclusively under contract with Club America and was thus part of the squad of the championship team in the most successful era of the Americanistas before the introduction of professional football , when four championship titles were won between 1925 and 1928 .

In his main job, Garcés was a dentist . In the mid-1920s he was employed by the Jasso- based Compañía Manufacturera de Cemento Portland “La Cruz Azul” to perform medical services. At the time, some employees played baseball on the company's own sports field . The football enthusiast Garcés also introduced a football team there and because there was only one sports field on which two different sports could not be practiced permanently, he managed to get the company management to vote among the workers as to whether they would prefer football or want to play baseball. The predominantly Mexican workers voted for football. The baseball field was converted into a soccer field and Garcés acted as the coach from the very beginning. This is how the CD Cruz Azul football team came into being on March 27, 1927 and is now one of the two major rivals in the capital of the Club America, which was also co-founded by Garcés.
