Jorge Campos is one of the best players in the history of Mexico, posiblemente el mejor portero junto a Memo Ochoa que ha defendido nunca el marco de los aztecas. Eccentric in your wardrobe, It differed from other colleagues on one thing, he liked the same stopping the goals that mark, to the point of reaching change the goalkeeper shirt to slip into one of the team and be at the spearhead of his team. Sin duda, a player out of the ordinary.
Jorge Campos: El portero-delantero que hizo historia con México
Born in sunny Acapulco 15 de octubre de 1966, es considerado uno de los mejores porteros de su tiempo y reconocido por la International Federation of Football History and Statistics como el cuarto mejor portero de la CONCACAF del siglo XX.
Jorge Campos jugó 3 World with Mexico
He went to three World Cups with Mexico ( USA 94, France 98 y Korea and Japan 2002) and he played in Atlante, Blue Cross, Tigres and Puebla. In all he acted as a goalkeeper and as a striker, depending on what the situation demanded. It became very popular for its uniform ritual changed to leave the goalkeeper position and continue participating in the game as a striker. Anotó 35 many, a negligible figure considering their usual place was the goalkeeper.
¿Cuál es la altura de Jorge Campos? : El azteca hizo historia como portero pese a no ser muy alto
With a very short height for a goalkeeper (there are still debates about its actual size), Campos was a very agile goalkeeper, spectacular and that did not go unnoticed because of his outlandish outfits that never left anyone indifferent. With a game on the feet of many levels, better than many outfielders, much he liked to participate in the team's game, something very unusual even today.
Precisamente, This confidence in his technique made him commit some other high-profile gaffe since I used to go out with the ball controlled with the foot instead of throwing the ball upfield, very much in the Colombian Rene Higuita. He became so famous, that came with Cantona, Figo and other stars of the moment, in the Nike ad where they faced demons and the French Bad Boy finiquitaba one of these beings of tremendous Whiplash.
Fue el mejor anuncio de la historia en su momento. Luego estaría reñido con el Jose +10 ¿qué opináis?
