The challenge of the choose
In full adolescence heshould choose a road that would take it to become soccer player. Very soon he should make a new decision: to play in the Inferior Divisions of a recently ascended club to First Divisions and that today is an exemplary institution in the formation of soccer players. As professional, the crossroad it was presented in their life again. And I eat before, Pablo Velázquez (22) chose a new path that today him the possibility to make that more he likes it: to make goals, now in Rubio Ñú club.
What memory do you have your childhood when you played soccer?
It played with my cousins in a little yard that was to two blocks of my house. It is a little yard that is on the Eighth street, we called him "la canchita de oro": just there we played. Then my cousins began to practice in the Atlantida soccer school, and they took me to practice there, and I began this way in the soccer school with my brother, with my cousins, everybody in Atlantis.
Did they always choose you in the canchita to play?
They always chose me… (laughs)
“THE BIG PARTIES OR THE SOCCER”
Of what moment did you think that this besides being an amusement could become a career?
When I was in the school. When I was 15 years old I began me to give it counts that I could play as professional. In that moment in my school was the time of the fifteen years, time the parties, my dad told me: chose the parties or chose the soccer, he always repeated me that my dad. I didn't leave to any fifteen party, and then my dad told me, it seems that you don't like parties: it will be the party or the soccer, he told me, and then I opted for the soccer.
And how you arrived to Libertad club?
I played in Atlantida club. In the U15 tournament I marked 45 goals, and the professor Miguel Pavani (in that then in Libertad), he went to see me to a match, he invited me go to prove to Libertad, and I at the beginning didn't want to leave, because Libertad had ascended newly. In that then had other dreams, I wanted to play in other teams, but later went to speak to me Victor Genes and they convinced me and I left to prove to Libertad.
Were you always forward?
Always…
HIGH-LEVEL FORMATION
What do they have the Libertad inferior divisions that so many good players there they leave?
I believe that it is the form like they inculcate the youths the form to work, the form to practice, to give a hundred percent in each training, that gives you a lot of trust, it makes you believe in oneself, to helped me very much. At the beginning I could not adapt, because I to alone Atlantida will play, although I could not sometimes go to the trainings it always played, while in Libertad one worked in the physical part and I found difficult that at the beginning. In the Libertad inferior divisions you work as if it was that you are in a high-level staff. To me helped me a lot and to many partners that today is playing in the national soccer team.
Tell us that you remember your premiere in Firs Divisions in 2005: it was premiere and goal, the dreamt premiere…
It was a match against 12 de Octubre de Itauguá that the professor Eduardo Villalba put me in the match. Before the party he already told me: get ready that at least five minutes you will play. I wanted to enter, it was not nervous, I was only thinking in how it will define a play and for luck I had left a ball and I took it, as anybody it left me I kicked the ball in to the goal and score a goal. It was an immense happiness, in the premiere to mark a goal is wonderful.
It is always said that it is not so difficult to arrive, but staying. How was the experience to fight a place in the team among all the figures that has Libertad?
There one doesn't have to be to a hundred percent, but more than that, in that then was Rodrigo López, Fredy Bareiro and Juan Samudio. To fight for a position against them help a lot, to make an effort more, in Libertad that helped me a lot, to have that experience, besides seeing them play.
You had said in an occasion that you wanted to end up being what today is Juan Samudio in Libertad…
I saw him in the practical ones and before when I was not still in Libertad, the goals that he made, when they ascended to first divisions, the goals that he made in Guarani, and then to see it in the practice and to have it as partner was impressive. I always liked their game and the form in the fact that defines.
And how did you feel when you should replace them?
It is a very big pressure, for example to substitute Samudio. Many times I played regular in Libertad and Samudio it was substitute, it is a big pressure, already people in a play that doesn't play you to define well, already requested for him, but equal was a pretty experience, I hope to plays at some time to play with him.
TOTAL SUPPORT
Being young chose to play to Libertad although no a lot knew to the club. Now you did have a great decision, to leave Libertad to go to a club recently ascended as Rubio Ñú, how did you live that?
No thought that we will be as well as we are now in the tournament. At the beginning I thought: what will we do?, will we fight something? But ab initio, already when the manager spoke to me he told me that alone no will participate, but rather we will point up: "we will give you the trust and to those that plays him to play, we will fight up, to win to all the big ones", he told me and that is what we are doing in the tournament.
Obviously to a forward help him the fact to know how to define, because he has the characteristics to be scorer, but that more helps you?, why today are you marking goals in Rubio Ñú?
I believe that the trust that I have now, of the partners, of the manager, of everybody, of my family. That helps me a lot and do to me work calm, I make what I like, play up, to define. Now simply play, calm, I kow that the partners and the manager support me and that is very important. People also support me and I can play calm.
How is it to train and to play in Blond Ñú? Which is the style?
I believe that it is to press up, a lot of sacrifice, everybody run, at the beginning don't mark goals because I entered to the rhythm of they and I also wanted to run since all they ran, they never get tired, not even in the practice. In the before seasons the manager said what had to do and nobody claimed, everybody trained to a hundred percent until it finishes. We are soldiers, there are not figures, but it is the team and for that reason I believe that today we are where we are.
REVENGE
I Never forget that team U20 that had a great team, with excellent players. Could not that team classify to the World cup, in the South American 2007 that it was played in Paraguay, however many players they are today in First standing out, What did it happen?
Hopefully all the players are another time in the National Team that we lacked what didn't come out us somewhere around in that moment that leaves us, a bit luck, I believe that we had a good team, players more than enough, but they didn't leave us the things. We always speak with "Pájaro" (Edgar Benítez), we meet and we speak about that, the soccer always gives you revenge and hopefully to us also.
Did you celebrate Edgar (Benítez) goal in the Ecuador vs. Paraguay match?
Of course, he is a great friend, we knew that it will mark a goal, against Peru we scream their goal and now the goal was his completely. It is very important for him that goal and I am very happy because they are leaving him the things and alone no to him but to many other partners, like to Victor Cáceres, partners that a lot of time were together, I hope to plays some time there.
ATLANTIDA EXAMPLES
There are two players that began in the Atlantida, they are Paulo Da Silva and Victor Cáceres, both with fighthistories, are they an example for you?
Yes, they are an example for me, and I hope not to be the exception, for that reason I am working, hopefully it can arrive to the same place that they arrived, and with a lot of sacrifice I hope to achieve it, that it is my objective.
As all soccer player, I suppose that you have objective and dreams, which ones they are?
One of my dreams it is to play overseas, in a Europe club, I hope to have that chance; and of course to play in the National Soccer team, those they are my dreams, besides playing a World cup.
Besides the soccer, do you have others life plans?
The last year I finished the study in the school, but I could not complete a test for the soccer. I hope to finish now and I want to study a career in August. I want to study a career that is alimentary engineering, it is a new career that we want to study it with my brother.
