Player career

society

During his active career, the 1.72 meter tall striker Cea, who was also known as "el Vasco" (English: Basque) because of his Basque mother, played for Centro Atlético Lito , Bella Vista and the Club Nacional de Football from Montevideo. When it came to the schism - the split in the organizational structure of Uruguayan football - in 1922/1923 , Cea stood in ranks of Litos at the side of Héctor Castro , another successful football player who emerged from this club. The club was divided between the two now existing associations and entered with one team each in the newly founded Federación Uruguaya de Football (FUF) and in the previous association Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol (AUF). Cea played with the team that remained in the original competition of the AUF. Teammate Castro played from then on in the FUF league. From 1925 to 1930 and 1934 to 1935, Cea played for the Bolsos . He took part in the club's European tour in 1925 and two years later in the competition tour in Central and North America. In 1934 he was with Nacional Uruguayan champions.

National team

Cea was also a member of the Uruguayan national soccer team . In total, he completed from his debut on November 4, 1923 to his last game for the Celeste on December 4, 1932 27 international matches, in which he scored 13 goals. Cea won the gold medal with the national team at the Olympic Games in 1924 and 1928 . He was also involved in winning the 1930 World Cup . He never missed a single game in any of the three major tournaments, making him the only Uruguayan player to do so.

Cea became the first player to score one goal each in an Olympic final and a World Cup final.

Coaching

On March 12, 1940, he completed his first game as coach of the Uruguayan national team in a 3-2 win in a friendly against the Chilean selection . He also looked after them at the South American Championships in 1941 and 1942 . In the latter tournament, Uruguay won the title. At the Copa Mignaburu at the end of March 1943, however, he was replaced by Héctor Castro . At least in the 2: 6 defeat against Argentina on August 15, 1945 in the context of the Copa Newton , he was again active as national coach.

After the career

After finishing his footballing career, he also worked as a radio commentator alongside Dalton Rosas Riolfo on Tierra de Campeones . His remains found their final resting place in the association headquarters of Nacional.
