"Carrizo was an example of a player in the years when football was a sport without the glamour of today. May God protect his family," said the three-time world champion on his social networks.
Amadeo Carrizo, considered a legend of Argentine football, died this Friday at the age of 93 in his native Rufino.
Nicknamed the "Guardian of the greatest goal in the world," he played for more than two decades at River Plate, with which he won ten titles and was honorary president since the end of 2013.
With the Albiceleste, he won the Copa de las Naciones in 1964 in Brazil and was part of the squad in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, the first of the three that Pelé won.
