Some 5,000 people gathered at the central monolith, where the player had the opportunity to greet everyone present from a stage: “I’m very happy,” said Nahuel before his first voice cut due to the emotion that invaded him .
“It is difficult to speak with so much affection and people who approached. I am happy for everyone, for each teammate, the coaching staff and each person from the staff who accompanied us throughout this time, and now for each one of us who are enjoying this that is never experienced and that is that we are world champions ”, followed by the right side of Atlético Madrid.
The player recalled his beginnings as a soccer player in the youth ranks of the local club Fitz Simon, from Embalse, where he took his first steps as a soccer player, although he played there until he was 11 years old.
“It is incredible in a very short time what I experienced. I am happy because I share it with those who have always been there: my family, my girlfriend, my brothers, my lifelong friends, with whom we have been through a lot, and some from Buenos Aires who came here today, grateful to all Nahuel said.
Molina, 24, played only 27 games with the Argentine National Team, after making his debut on June 3, 2021 against Chile for Qualifiers.
In the World Cup in Qatar he played all seven games, the most remembered for his surroundings being the one in the quarterfinals against the Netherlands, when he opened the scoring with a goal that came with great definition after an exquisite assist from captain Lionel Messi.
The dams assure that they remember that goal cry even with more emotion than the same consecration against France.
The revolution for Molina in Embalse had begun yesterday, since he arrived the day before in a private jet at the Villa Rumipal aerodrome, about 15 kilometers from Embalse, and on that journey he was cheered on at every corner until he reached his home. .
In his words, Molina also assured that “every message of encouragement arrives and is one more strength to keep running and keep wanting to win.”
The player’s arrival on stage took place while images of the best moments of the Argentine team in the World Cup could be seen on the giant screens that were set up, moments in which those present lived each action and shouted the goals as if it were the first time.
For his part, Mayor Federico Alesandri recognized Molina on behalf of the municipality, and said: “Thank you Nahuel, your teammates and coaching staff because you have given us one of the greatest joys in history.”
“I congratulate you as a dam and for how your family lives, since you are a great guy and you took Embalse and Argentina to the top of the world. Thank you champion, always welcome to Embalse ”, he honored him.
The other Cordoba members of the squad, Julián Álvarez, Paulo Dybala and Cristian Romero, as well as Pablo Aimar and Walter Samuel, members of the coaching staff, were also recognized with their mentions.
At the entrance to the city of Embalse, a mural of important dimensions is built with the figure of Molina, which will welcome all visitors who enter arriving by route 5 from Calamuchita.
Molina, after his beginnings at the Fitz Simon de Embalse club, went to Boca Juniors, where he advanced through formative divisions until he made his debut in the First Division under the then coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena, although he only played eight games in the ‘xeneize’.
He then went through Defensa y Justicia and Rosario Central, before emigrating to European football, when in 2020 he arrived at Udinese in Italy, a club in which he played 64 games and based on good performances forged his call-up to the Argentine National Team.
In the middle of this 2022 he arrived at Atlético Madrid from ‘Cholo’ Diego Simeone, in which he alternated ownership and played 11 games since his arrival.
