When I see footballers from the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s that can dribble and make moves like this man I have so much respect for them. You gotta remember, these guys invented moves like that. They didn’t have the internet or could see clips of other footballers doing it to replicate. It’s almost like they invented something. Some of his moves were just incredible

WOW. I'm salvadorian and when I saw this video my jaw dropped, thank you for talking about our legend!

Finally, the GOAT of Central America receives his due recognition🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻

My grandfather is from Granada, Spain. But he had a business in Cádiz and became a fan of the local club. He would tell me stories about this MAGiCIAN from Latin America. He said the stadium would be full, just to see this guy play. To this day, he talks about the glory days of Cadiz and the joy that El Mágico brought to so many people in that town.
I learned much from this video since the only thing I knew was that Maradona was a great admirer of him. Grande El Mágico Gonzales, Grande el Cadiz!

As a Salvadorian I never thought you would make a video of our legend ❤

[luizferreti]

As a personal friend of Jorge I thank you for the effort and taking the time to do a video on this wonderful human being. All though there's certain things that happen not to be true, there was a case on this so claim assault or abuse that was dismissed on this girl, they settle the matter out court . I know Jorge personally as his family as well. He was never and is not very fun of alcohol, he liked to dance and the night life. Saint he's not but for us whom have the honor to know him as just the friend and not the idol. Jorge is just that .... a wonderful friend and human being..

He reminds me of Garrincha. They're two phenomenal footballers who loved life more and were never obsessed with trophies. Life for them should be celebrated by having fun more than anything else. They refused to be the best because it meant creating a gap between them and the average person. These two men are rare creatures in football and we should be grateful to them.

[ProfessionalNonce]

Just a day ago I saw a comment on a football iconic video begging for a video on El magico and then his face just came back in my brain like i had a lost memory come out of nowhere, what a player

[Vegtalix]

Some time ago I asked for this video to be made but I never thought itd actually happen, Thank you so much for bringing his name to light

[tfbruh]

Thank you for talking about such an underrated player who deserves so much more praise. As a salvadorian im so glad you're talking about our GOAT ❤

Salvadoran here. I actually met the guy and he was extremely chill.
The neighborhood had this basketball court that doubled as a football court. Not too big, but I'd always ask my dad if I could go play there for a bit even if it was by myself. I must've been 12 or 13 playing soccer by myself when Magico came in with what I presume was his grandson. I knew who he was and went like "uuuuh, Magico??!". We played some pickup for a bit, and he also bought a bunch of trading card packs for the 2010 WC sticker album. He proceeds to give me all his duplicates (about 300 stickers) and then we all leave after a bit. Turns out he lived in that neighborhood and would frequently play with people in that court. Looking back, I wish I had asked him for an autograph before I moved to the US.
He may be a lazy troll, but he's a super down to earth guy, very kind.

I love Cádiz, the love of my life is from there and "el mágico"is still a true legend amongst the calles of the city.
Very few players had that effect of fans or even cities as Gonzalez had in Cadiz ❤

[IronMetal]

Mágico González! A myth here in Spain, despite he played when I was so young (born in 1984) and my team is Atlético de Madrid, but Cádiz is a lovely and charismatic club I love

Muito obrigado! Thanks for always producing high quality videos 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[dexterscokelab]

Been waiting on a video about this Salvadoran Legend 🇸🇻 🙌

I had the chance to talk to him once in my neighborhood on a Christmas' eve about 10 years ago.. He's the the most humble guy you can ever talk to... I told him an anecdote That a coach of my neighborhood told me about him when he was a little kid.. He came from across the city in San Salvador to a sandy little football field just to play in a football school(that's how we call football or soccer academies) and he didn't like to practice just to play.. He'd come to "don Antonio" the football coach and tell him he had a stomachache and wasn't able to practice And the coach told him to sit and observe the practice.. After the practice was done and the coach was ready to make the line up to play, magico stood up and told him the stomachache was gone and he was ready to play... He never liked to practice just play.. as any other kid.. He always saw football as fun not as work.. He confirmed that anecdote "do Antonio" told me about him and he said... "Don antonio was right I never liked to practice just play that's the way I was" grande el mágico... The difference between him and the rest of football monsters is that he never played for money, just for fun as that kid he's always been..

This story reminded me of Dobrin, the mysterious player who was not let to become the GOAT by the communists, he could've played in Hererra's Inter and Santiago Bernabeu's Real Madrid, the dictator refused to let him go for what would've been an insane record transfer fee for those times. He was a genius on the pitch, but a tragic character, with other people making all the important decisions in his career, none of them benefiting him. The streets will never forget, though! Love your content

El Magico is the true definition of "hard work beats talent." He had the talent but didn't apply himself. I was born in El Salvador and recall as a kid watching the game where they won to qualify for the 1982 world cup.
