You leave a smile for life to all of us who were able to share moments with you. We will always remember you, Fatty’.

Afonso: “He loved UD and was a loyal guy”

Víctor Afonso worked for seven years with Arturo García. It puts in value, its endless breath. “Since 2014 we always talked, he attended me from his office in Schamann. I went a couple of days ago to see him and have a consultation. He was a good guy, loyal…In the professional aspect of the best. He calculated the precise recovery time of “A player, he didn’t fall into error. He told you 2 to 3 weeks and he always nailed it to you. As a professional he was the host.

Personally, I don’t even tell him. His passion was soccer, he left UD and I don’t know why. He loved the UD. Soccer was the first thing, the maximum.
