- Asca's unanimity began to crack when Ramón Quiroga arrived at the national team after a 'quick' naturalization, courtesy of the second phase of the military dictatorship. In Rosario, his hometown, they called him 'Chupete', but we called him the 'Crazy' because unlike the goalkeepers of his time who lived trapped under the goalposts, Ramón played outside the penalty area, hung from the crossbar if the ball was high, or stood like a statue after a forward shot a furious bullet that he, one wonders how, had already calculated would not become a goal.
- If don Rafael became an idol by catching the ball with one hand and by his good positioning, the 'Crazy' ruled by his personality and courage. We started to love him in the 77 qualifiers after he saved a penalty from Ecuadorian player Liciardi in Quito, he was the hero in the 3-1 victory over the Scots, and if it weren't for him, the Netherlands would have swept us away in that heroic 0-0 in the group stage of the World Cup. The 6-0 against Argentina overshadowed a remarkable performance, full of great saves, even more consistent than Cubillas. In 81, he was part of one of the greatest national teams of all time, and until his retirement in 86, he showed flashes of his worth. Quiroga did something very difficult, which sometimes even the established players cannot achieve: he won the hearts of the fans.
