It is sad to remember that Falcao was a key for Colombia to go to the World Cup in Brazil, where they achieved the best performance in history by reaching the quarter finals, but not being able to attend because of that torn cruciate ligament that took him off the field and stopped his career for several months. But despite that, Mrs. Alexy Hernández wanted to compose a song in the rhythm of champeta to thank the attacker ‘la Tricolor’.

And that’s it that video in which Alexy can be seen on a beach in the Caribbean Sea of Colombia, together with images of the idol’s goals and celebrationsoften seen on the web and social networks, which makes his lyrics more attractive to Colombians:
Proud, I think, to feel and live joy. Live in harmony with Falcao.
It makes me shudder, he wants to bring joy to football. A man who always fights for sports.
Long live Colombia, long live Falcao! The strongest and bravest tiger on the court.
Long live Colombia, long live Falcao! The strongest and bravest tiger on the court
But no matter how viral, repeated and spread the song was on video platforms, social networks and media, The image that remained of Alexy Hernández in Colombia was no more than the author of that sticky cape in honor of the scorer of the Colombian National Team.. And 10 years after the song and video became known, this woman’s life is more complicated, just like millions of people in a country where corruption rates are the highest and inequality is increasing. more and more.
After learning that Falcao was coming to Millonarios, in the newspaper El Universal of Cartagena they set themselves the task of searching for the author of the tribute to Falcao García and they got sad news. Since, at 61 years old and his whole life dedicated to singing to get through his sorrows, today his needs increase and it seems that there is no end:
“Some days I even sang while forgetting that I was hungry because when my father abandoned us we had a lot of work and my mother had no way to keep the house”, said in the interview in which it was revealed that he currently lives in a complex sector of Cartagena called ‘la calle del caño’ in La Candelaria. But he came there after his house fell apart due to the bad conditions of the neighborhood of San José de los Campanos. leaving Alexy, his mother over 90 years old and 3 brothers who are almost over 70 homeless,.
This is how he told his story to the media in the capital of the department about who is responsible for the scream. “Long live Colombia, long live Falcao!”:
In the ranch that fell on me I have nothing, only stones, sticks, and where I live, now I don’t even have a TV to watch the games… I go out very early in the hot sun to the Market to sell lottery tickets. There are some days when things go well and other days when things go badly… I have destroyed my house. I don’t have sand, cement or other material to fix it. That house was a gift from God more than 40 years ago, but it did not withstand the rain and the walls were badly damaged.
She works and fights for it “old men”as he calls them affectionately, despite health problems, limited nutrition and a problem with cataracts in his eyes. “I work daily to get food for my old people. I can’t leave them alone and I have no one to help me. We are having a hard time”she said in her conversation with El Universal, asking for support and help to be able to improve her home and to have support for those who are with her.
Falcao will fulfill a dream for Alexy and there is a promise that he will have a house
The story, which came to light within the framework of the Irish League When Radamel Falcao came to Millonarios, he reached the scorer’s environment. And it was her sister Michell García, who is linked to many campaigns and initiatives who heads the ‘Falcao Foundation’ in Colombia, who shared a video where you can see the conversation between the idol and his great admirer.
even though Alexy was singing the song he dedicated to ‘Tigre’, he looks at it on the screen of his mobile phone and laughs. Afterwards, part of the conversation they had is heard, with the footballer’s gratitude and pleasure for meeting the author of the song that he often shares with him. She shares her joy, her pride in being able to talk to her idol, who she said she wanted to meet in person, which she will be able to do in a few days..

After that message, Alexy responded about the creation of that convention and his hope to see it in person: “You are my favorite athlete, I did it with affection and love, I carry you in my heart. I hope you come to Cartagena one day”. Well, Falcao only had words of thanks for her work, her good wishes and the opportunity he will have to meet her.
But the good news did not stop there, since Michell García herself started a campaign to collect money so that she could “Support Alexy to build a house”that is why he looks for 100,000 people to contribute up to 3,000 pesos to fulfill another dream of this woman who brought joy to Colombian soccer fans and moved everyone with her story.
