They come in pairs.
One is unusually short, the other unusually tall. One wields the ball to create magic, the other uses the ball to destroy opponents. One looks radiant as always, the other looks hardened by the realities of life.
But only one of them is a legend - a success. History, with its infinite power, will forget the other.
They both came from Alcoy. They signed for teams together - thrice. They both were superb footballers.
They had "la conexión alcoyana" - the Alcoyano connection.
