Sports career
Rene iquita, nicknamed madman / madman, played for the national athletic team in the 1995 Copa America. In the face of the Colombian fans who love the ball like life, iqita did not convergence, he is still crazy. In this America's cup, ikita's legend is even stronger. In one match, the other side suspended the goal from a long distance according to the characteristics of his front position. Iqita had long estimated the other side's playing method. He was not in a hurry. When the football was about to enter the net, he did not catch the ball with his hands, but played a dangerous action of "kicking the purple golden crown upside down". He jumped forward and kicked the ball out of the gate with two heels. This action can be said to be the best in the history of football. With this save, ikita can be one of the best goalkeepers in the world. The save showed his passion, his technique and his creativity. Ikita is a lunatic on the field, but he is so cute and crazy that he has a kind of football art. Ikita scorpion wags its tail
In December 2012, in a star show held in India, ikita, 46, representing India's All-Star team against Brazil's masters team, performed the masterpiece of "scorpion wagging its tail" impromptu, which eclipsed the legendary Brazilians such as Bebeto and Dunga. Although the Indian All-Star led by ikita lost by 1-3 in the end, ikita himself fulfilled the game "I will give my best performance in the game," he said. Because this is my way of thanking the city! "
On January 25, 2010, Medellin, 43 year old legendary Colombian goalkeeper iquita, held his retirement match in his hometown and became famous again as "scorpion wags its tail". It was a late farewell performance. In January 2009, ikita retired from the Serie A team Pereira sports for the second time in his career. He retired from the team for the first time. In this game, ikita first blocked the opponent's free kick with his famous stunt "scorpion wagging his tail", and then broke the opponent's gate with a free kick. In the second half, he scored a single stroke as a guest striker. After the game, in the face of tens of thousands of fans who came to see him off, Colombians shed touching tears.
Rene ikita was born on August 28, 1966. His kick is characterized by a wide range of activities, often to control the ball outside the restricted area, and actively participate in and organize the attack. In addition, he can shoot high quality free kicks. In Latin America, where football is well-developed, iquita of Colombia, Chilavert of Paraguay and Campos of Mexico are called three crazy goalkeepers. However, Chilavert organizes and encourages the whole team by shouting on the field. Campos attracts attention by his colorful shirt and action, while ikita attracts attention by his self-confidence and performance desire. He dares to improvise no matter how intense the competition scene is. The green field has become a stage for him to show his personal skills. He never knows stage fright. Ikita has been the main goalkeeper since he joined the national team of Colombia. He has also developed excellent free kick technique under the guidance of the coach.
1989 was the year ikita became famous. He worked hard with his teammates to win the South American liberators cup. At the end of the year, he represented the South American football club in the Toyota Cup held in Tokyo, Japan, against AC Milan of Italy, which was dominated by the Dutch Three Musketeers. During the match, iqita was not afraid of the European champions team joined by Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard. He thought the goal was too cold and could not restrain his passion. He often abandoned the door and went out of the penalty area to help his teammates attack and act as a free man. This kind of play made him angry, but made his own door in vain. As a result, he was defeated at the foot of AC Milan and came second. In the group stage of the 1990 World Cup, Colombia played West Germany for the first time. In terms of strength, the two teams are not equal, but the West Germans are good at using tactics. West Germany coach Beckenbauer and captain Mateus are resourceful generalists. They carefully watched the game video of Colombia team and found a good way to defeat the enemy. Mateus and Beckenbauer made a high move to overcome the enemy in view of the characteristics that iqita often abandoned the door. After the start of the game, the West German team was mainly defensive, luring ikita out of the penalty area, leaving an empty gate. Mateus took advantage of iquita's chance to run around in the front of the restricted area, suddenly a long-distance hanging goal, iquita's back defense was not enough, the ball flew to the gate like a howitzer, but unfortunately the ball didn't enter and hit the lintel. Since then, iqita still ignored the safety of the gate, waiting for the opportunity to run out of the penalty area to assist. But every time the fans and teammates applauded, he was scared. Both sides you come and I go to fight fiercely. Litbalski, the heart of the West German midfield, used a mistake made by the Colombian defender to shoot into the net. However, ikita didn't care about a goal from the other side. He waved his long arm to encourage his teammates to press on the attack. Finally, baldera, the Golden Lion King, used his excellent personal ability to pull back a goal and drew with West Germany.
After entering the last 16, Colombia faces the African lion Cameroon. Although the African lion played well in the first match against Argentina, ikita didn't pay attention to it. As always, he ran out of the gate to help attack. After the appearance of Colombia, he was even more unscrupulous. Once, after receiving a pass from a teammate at the front of the penalty area, he didn't go out with a big foot, but played a small trick of dribbling in front of Mira, a 38 year old "African uncle". He was really playing in front of Guan Gong's goal. The experienced Mila rushed to him with a lunge, easily snatched the ball from his feet, ran with the ball tightly for two steps and pushed it into the net. Iquita sent Colombia home prematurely. Originally, it was possible for them to move on.
Back home, ikita was criticized by the fans and bombarded by the media. The madman on the court laughs at people's criticisms. He neither refutes nor discourages them.
In the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Colombia did not even qualify for the group, and even lost to the United States. Escoba was shot dead. The bloody incident awakened the dreamer. The Colombian players suddenly realized the responsibility on their shoulders or the sword hanging over their heads. They didn't play for themselves. How to play is no longer their freedom. They are playing for the honor of the country, the happiness of the fans and their lives. The team is beginning to mature.
However, iquita remains the same. His personal heroism is also reflected in his way of life. Shortly after the world cup, ikita was involved in a drug trafficking scandal and sent to prison. Later, according to the police, iqita was arrested by the police when he contacted a drug trafficking organization in order to save a girl kidnapped by the underworld, because his heroism violated Colombia's anti kidnapping law.
Iqita is a hot blooded man. After he was released from prison, he actively contacted the owner of the original club, hoping to return to the team.
It's rare for the club's boss to let him return to the team and allow him to play in the 1995 America Cup on behalf of the national athletic team.
In this session of the Copa America, iqita and his teammates worked together to reach the top four, and finally won the third place. This result is not bad, but ikita's excessive show off angered the club, who do not want to let him stay, the team rely on 11 people on the court to strive for victory, rather than fulfill his desire to perform. Faced with the anger of the boss and the confusion of his teammates, iqita had to leave the national team.
In 1997, ikita left Colombia for Mexico's top class a team Veracruz. This time, he really matured. He gradually gave up his flashy action and guarded the gate conscientiously. But the mature iquita is not the arrogant and aggressive iquita in the eyes of the fans. The iquita who dares to perform in the tense game is gone.
Without passion, ikita can honestly guard the gate, but he no longer has any amazing works. Without the characteristics, iqita is just a normal person.
In the middle of August 2005, legendary Colombian goalkeeper ikita will be lying on the operating table, but this time is not to treat injuries, but ikita decided to completely "change face"! This arrogant and uninhibited "madman" is going to have a plastic surgery!
Different from the delicate style of playing, Colombia's stars have always been shown in a wild image. From "Golden Lion" baldera to "madman" iquita, Colombia's famous newspapers once joked: "if football is judged by appearance, then most Colombian players will definitely leave the stadium." A few days ago, iqita took part in a program named "celebrity island" on RCN television in Colombia. During the program, madman told his friend Lionel Alvarez that ugly people like them should not take part in this kind of program. It's better to take part in a "reality show" that can give them plastic surgery. But who knows that the speaker is not intentional, and the listener is intentional. His joke actually gives the producer of the reality show "radical change" to him
