Great puffs from the Spanish League: Freddy Rincon

Last update 14 November, 2023 by Alberto Llopis

Freddy Rincón was one of the best Colombian players of the years 90. However, his time at Real Madrid was not productive at all.. Idol in his country, went with the Valderrama e Higuita among others, one of the greatest exponents of a generation that scared the football world by scoring 0 a 5 to Argentina at home in 1993. However, All three played in the League and did not succeed. Neither Freddy in Real Madrid nor Valderrama and Higuita in the Real Valladolid of the Colombians, They managed to gain a place in Spanish football.

But his first problem was that the Bosman Law so any player not born in Spain, Portuguese abroad was considered out, Danish or Colombian. As a rule saying that only he could summon 4, Rincón had to be ever discarding. With the cessation of Valdano went directly to ostracism. The white club signed the already veteran Arsenio Iglesias who was not very into the Colombian's game.

Despite having signed for three years, He turned one and thank you and left the club that summer of 1996. That season btw, was the worst in the history of Real Madrid, at least the worst in 40 years is that the white club did not even qualify for the UEFA something that today seems unthinkable.
