Series A: When the AS Roma made a nobody to the millionaire

On November 1, 1997, the most expensive misunderstanding of football history was the only time in the starting elf of the AS Rome. Even today, fans and managers of the CD Tenerife laugh about the metropoly transfer from Nobody César Gómez to the eternal city.

Everything started with a normal party of the UEFA Cup season 1996/1997. The Italian top club Lazio Rome had failed in the second round surprisingly on the Spanish representative and today s second division CD Tenerife.

The team of the holiday island had caught up in the second leg a 0: 1 from the first duel and was passed on by a 5: 3 success.

Roma 1-2 Milan | A Rossoneri triumph in Rome | Serie A 2021/22

At Lazio coach Zdenek Zeman, a player burned into memory, which he wanted to commit in summer.

But the disaster took his race: Zeman moved to the new season of Lazio to city trival as Rome. And the coach was the name of the Tenerife defender who had impressed him.

Increasingly desperate, the football teacher at Lazio striker Pierluigi Casiraghi inquired about the strong opponent from the UEFA Cup game. Any Spanish name, I m thinking of a z at the end, Casiraghi replied the legend.

Representatives of the AS ROM with embarrassing confusion

This vague information was enough Zeman to send Roma representatives to Tenerife. After intensive research, the Italians were safe: The player requested by the trainer could only be César Gómez.

The Argentine international and peak defender Pablo Paz, which was actually talked, fell through the grid.

Should change to the AS ROM, but did not come: Pablo Paz (r.)

The responsible persons of Tenerife were initially completely surprised that actually a delegation from Italy announced to negotiate an obligation of Gómez.

The born Madrider had long since been sorted out at the insulans, without realistic perspective on further missions.

The CD bosses played the game all too much like with and sold Gómez for the then reasonable sum of converted three and a half million euros to Rome.

Public players and power carriers Paz, who was ill on the day of transfer calls with the Romans, ran for a few years for the Tinerenen.

Gómez could hardly believe his luck across the surprising change. My life changed in a few hours. I met two companions of the Roma and got an offer I could not reject, he later reported to the Gazzetta dello Lazio.

Cesar Gómez just played three times for the AS Rome

Arrived in the eternal city, the newcomer signed a contract for four years. Around 70,000 euros content - per month, the limited defender is understood and became a millionaire.

However, the fact that it did not matter to the high standards of AS, but became apparent only too quickly.

Overall, Gómez was three times for the Roma on the lawn, including five minutes against Naples and three minutes against Florence. For the startTELF it was once a single time: On November 1, 1997, just in the city of Cyonary against the hated Lazio.

1: 3 The AS lost the prestige-duel with Zeman s Ex-Club. Gómez never completed game again in the series A.

But his status as a top earner did not change anything. The most expensive confusion of football history appeared on time and reliably for three years for every workout and behaved perfectly.

His contract in Rome sat out Gómez. When the contract ended in 2001, César Gómez returned and sat down with his millions.
