translated from Spanish: Former archer and honorary president of River Amadeo Carrizo died

Former Argentine goalkeeper and current President of Honor of River Plate, Amadeo Carrizo, died on Friday at the age of 93, according to the ‘millionaire’ club and the Argentine Football Association (AFA).
“The former goalkeeper, emblem of the history of Argentine football, world leader in his position and Honorary President of the Institution since 2013, died this Friday, March 20 at the age of 93. The club, through its Honourable Board of Directors, sends its condolences and accompanies its loved ones in this moment of deep pain,” River noted on his website, where he stressed that the goalkeeper “was an inventor of a style and reference of the generations that they followed.”
Carrizo won seven league titles between 1945 and 1957 and reached 551 matches in the River shirt, being the club’s most uptimeful player in AFA tournaments. In his 23 consecutive seasons, he went 769 minutes without receiving a goal, a record recently beaten by Franco Armani. In addition, one of the stands of the Monumental Stadium, Belgrano media, is named after him, and the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), named him Best Archer of South America of the twentieth century.
“Amadeo Carrizo, glory of our football, died at the age of 93,” said the AFA, which called the goalkeeper “a true legend of Argentine football” and “owner of a particular style, where he was characterized by not staying under the three clubs, since He went out of the bow to anticipate and also played a lot with his feet, something atypical for his time.”
Despite his qualities, Carrizo did not have an excessive tour with his country’s national team, with which he played 19 games and only the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, where the Albiceleste was eliminated by the Czech Republic by a hard 6-1.
