The passing of a La Roja Legend… Chus Pereda:
Remebering Chus, a legendary FC Barcelona midfielder for 8 seasons, who played a part in the history of Spanish football when he played for the first La Roja team to win a UEFA Euro Championship in 1964, passed away yesterday at the age of 73.
“He is one of the reasons for the success that La Seleccion is today,” says Del Bosque, “He was a great player, continued to remain very close to La Seleccion, and he is part of the history and success of Spanish football. He had a great appreciation for the sport. As a person, he was a great guy, very loving, very affectionate, he was always very aware of us and always very close to the team.”
May he rest in peace.
