Goodbye to Gento the rapid and strange case of the Urdangarin-Borbón
Paco Gento
Guillermo Serrano Amat
Every day someone dies.When I write this piece of text he has had to die of Paco Gento, who was going to centenary and ran like Usain Bolt, but with poor poor.
They were different times.Gento and Di Stéfano belonged to the human species, but if they hadn't sworn to me, I would not have believed it.Gento assumed the paper of the extreme left, which for the profane is a footballer who runs through the band bordering the left side of the field, while the right end runs on the right side.
Di Stéfano, who was a center striker and was planted in front of the goal in two races, had the mission of scoring goals, and always fulfilled it.
Gento and Di Stéfano belonged to the Real Madrid squad.Although they were contemporaries, the Argentine arrived before the club and advised Don Santiago Bernabéu to sign the Cantabrian because he was a hurricane and razed everything.A monster and another monster make two monsters.Today, both are part of merengue mythology.
The old chromos collectors will always remember Gento and Di Stéfano.It is not for less.They will also remember his descendants, especially Paquita Spain, daughter of a dancer with whom the player held eight years of relationship.After years of lawsuits, a judicial ruling recognizes, a week after his death, the extramarital paternity of the Astro of Real Madrid thanks the accumulation of DNA tests.The legitimate daughter of Paco Gento achieves thus completing a story that began in the fifties and has ended with the death of Paco.
"My mother," says her grandson, "had a very bad time for being an artist and single mother.She and my grandfather slept together in the hotels and he was unfaithful when she was pregnant.This grandson was the one who launched the process so that Gento's paternity was declared.Now, the nightmare is over.
Gento and Di Stéfano were friends and weak before the flesh.The Argentine also lived a crazy and womanizer ending.One day, the newspaper asked me to interview Di Stéfano as an old myth, and I did that.He was not very nice, but his sentences went to Mass.I remember said: “I like girls with two holes at the end of the back.They seem very sexy ".When he said it, he made a gesture with his fingers pointing to two indeterminate points in the air.Then he sighed.
Iñaki Urdangarin

This week has been fine, fine, Filipina.On Wednesday the bells raised and in every corner of the country ran the voice of romance between Ainhoa Armentia and Iñaki Urdangarín, once Duke of Palma, with current residence in Vitoria, where he works in a consultancy and has a love that until this weekIt was secret.
The life of the Urdangarín Borbón has been a poem.They married in the cathedral of Barcelona looking into their eyes.She wore a spectacular Caprile dress and had wet eyes.He gave the impression that he fell in love for the first time, but it wasn't entirely true.Rather it would be one or none.With the slab of the fallen time on the shoulders, Urdangarín is the image of the dejected man.Children lend their shoulder.
Pablo Nicolás

Pablo Nicolás, who plays handball at Barça, a few days ago was approached by reporters who asked him about his father's new affair.The boy did not stop, but replied with exquisite education: “They are things that happen.We have to manage it as a family, because we will continue to love each other the same ”.Pablo Nicolás, the star athlete of the new generation of Spanish handball, demonstrated his discretion and simplicity."It's to take it home," said a reporter surrendered to her feet.
The most curious thing is that Dad Urdanga, when approached in Vitoria and asaeteado with the same questions that the reporters had asked Pablo Nicolás, he replied exactly the same: "These are things that happen, we will manage it together, as we have always done".It sounded like a family slogan.And I say: Did the son copied to the father or was it the father who copied the son?
Infanta Cristina
Guillermo Serrano Amat
Reading magazine premiered on Wednesday with some photos of Ainhoa and Iñaki walking hand in the beach of Bidart.It wasn't the first time they did.In Bidart the cousins have shared bathroom and games, and the Infanta Cristina has felt wrapped up by the Urdangarin girls and have made a place at the table.
When 24 hours had not passed from the publication of the photos in readings, the news was disseminated that Iñaki had asked the divorce to the infant, a request denied by Cristina, who, according to the relatives, remains equally asin love that the first day.
Summarizing: Infanta said no and everything returned to her being but Infanta said "no" and everything returned to his being.
Infanta Cristina continues to live in Geneva, where she works at the Aga Khan Foundation (Del, good friend of the emeritus.With the Infanta is his daughter Irene who still goes to school (he has nothing but cross the street).Cristina de Borbón has always taken the encounter with journalists with education, greets with the smile and bends her head in respect.
On many occasions you cannot suppress that gesture of sadness that is on the verge of tear.It all started very well the day they met, in Atlanta, when she saw him from afar and ruffled asked: Who is the blond ...?The blond was him and there was a short time for the two to start a beautiful love story, today about to collapse.
We have all remembered these days the sentimental biography of Iñaki, first with Carmen Camí, from Puigcerdá, to which he gave a plant to leave with the infanta.After Carmen, others came, and others.Even a friend's wife and her emails turned around Spain.
For quite some time the Infanta looked radiant, because it could not be in happiness.The same day of the wedding, when leaving the cathedral, Iñaki and Cristina began a new life.One or none, some think.And it is that with Iñaki the scandal also arrived: the titles, the business, the Noos Institute, the sale of the Palace in Barcelona and in the end, the shotgun departure to Washington and later, to Geneva.
Infanta Cristina has never been the same.He saw her in silence by the shops close to her house, with the swollen dark circles and the head downhill.He missed his country and his family, the memories of Barcelona, the birth of the children, the summers in Mallorca, the friends and above all, to Iñaki, the athlete of whom he had fallen irremediably fallen in love.
