At the door of the Pirovano hospital, just over an hour after the death of Hugo Orlando Gattihis son Lucas Cassius chatted with the journalists who were there, he told about the last moments of his father, thanked all the hospital workers, confirmed that they decided that it made no sense to extend the suffering and emphasized the breakdown point: “The truth that my father went the day my mother died, eight months ago. From there, he was no longer superman.”
The crazy Gatti and Nacha Nodar, former model, married in 1977 and the following year Lucas Cassius was born, whose second name refers to the boxer, from whom the goalkeeper was a fan. Then Hugo Federico was born. Lucas, who lives in Europe, was the one who made contact with the press. In the beginning, he said: “My father was a fighter and showed him until the last moment. We did not ask that the respirator take him out, but we told the doctors that it made no sense to extend the suffering, that they stopped doing things to continue on their way. Likewise, I want to publicly thank all the human and professional attention that my father received in the hospital.”
Lucas explained why his father ended up hospitalized in the Pirovano. “The anecdote what was the accident that suffered an accident on the street, fell and broke his hip, or broke his hip and fell, we do not know, and they transferred him here because he was five blocks. As I said, only words of thanks. But the truth is that my father went the day my mother died, eight months ago. I live in Europe, we did everything to come to From there it was no longer Superman.
On the other hand, he said what it was to be the son of Crazy Gatti. “With my brother we talked about that,” he began and continued: “It is difficult to speak like as a father. We were lucky to live with Superman many years, the character from the inside. Then, thank life for the possibility of having and living next to a genius 24 hours. As a father I cannot explain it, these guys are not explained, just as he was as an archer was as a father and it was as a husband.
In addition, he explained the legacy he leaves as an archer and protagonist of Argentine football: “The greatest message he left, especially in these times, is that he never worried about what needs to be said, he said what he thought, you agreed or not. Today everyone says what interests him. Instead, he said what he thought even going against his interests. He was a provocative yes, because he did not like the lie. A very legitimate, very pure guy, without looking for it.
Finally, Lucas explained that with his brother they are receiving many calls, which is a situation that surpasses them and that only tomorrow (this Monday) will communicate what their father’s farewell will be.
