Not least against the background of the constantly lamented fast pace of today’s world, what the Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia performed on Monday. It gave birth to the term “zamorana”, which goes back to probably the first goalkeeping hero in the history of football: Ricardo Zamora, a revolutionary in goalkeeping, a kind of Manuel Neuer of the 1920s and 1930s. Zamora is considered the inventor and master of a very unique way of parrying balls: per “zamorana”, that is, with the upper arm. Why La Vanguardia is it now coming around the corner? Because Zamora has found an unexpected returner in Vinícius Jr.: The Brazilian scored a goal with a “zamorana” in Real Madrid’s dramatic 3-2 win against UD Almería on Sunday evening. And was therefore at the center of a suspected “robbery”.
