That was his nickname because he was just like a stand up guy, came from a great family.
well-educated and just very cultured on the pitch, a left-footed center back that had the door open for him to replace Franco Baresi at AC Milan.
This is something that his brother confirmed to me earlier this year when I spoke to him, that those rumors were true.
AC Milan wanted to sign Andres Escobar.
It was going to happen after that World Cup.
No one thought that it would lead to something tragic.
It was just a terrible footballing moment.
Even Colombians who have seen violence and football mixed for decades did not think that.
Santiago Escobar, his brother, told me that after the match and this told him his main concern was that he had committed that type of error.
And then he said, there's no way AC Milan will sign me now.
And his brother, Santiago, reassured him.
But, you know, in the end, they get eliminated.
They go on the group stage.
They get a win against Switzerland.
They go home.
And a lot of the players, Colombian players stayed in the U.S.
because the tension back home was was so high.
You know, they had failed.
And so several players stayed in the U.S., took vacations.
And Andres Escobar, which was never someone that was outspoken, told his brother, I need to go home and show the people of Colombia, show my hometown in Medellin, that I am a stand-up guy, that I will take responsibility, I will take accountability for that moment, for this failure of the national team.
