Brazilian legend Edson Arans de Nascimento expressed “PeleFriday regretted the death of Amadeo Carreto, saying that he was “one of the best guards in the history of Argentina.”
“Carreto has been a role model in years in which football has not been a sport of glory, as is the case now,” Pele said in his various accounts on social media.
A Argentina acaba de perder um dos maiores goleiros de sua história. Carrizo foi um exemplo de jogador nos anos que o futebol era um esporte sem o glamor de hoje. Que Deus projeta sua familia.
