Defence-MindedINFO:Juan Olivares is a former Chilean footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Born in Viña del Mar, Valparaíso (20/02/1941), he was discovered by the Argentine coach José Pérez Figueiras, who integrated him into the Santiago Wanderers squad in 1959. Olivares officially debuted that same year in the Chilean League against C.D. Ferrobádminton of Santiago, beginning a relationship of over forty years (as a player, coach, and assistant) with the
caturro team. For Wanderers, he won the Copa Chile in 1959 and 1961, the Primera División in 1968, and the Segunda División in 1978, becoming not only one of the most successful players in the club's history but also its greatest idol and best player ever. He debuted for the Chilean National Team in 1965, and in 1966 he was the starting goalkeeper in all of Chile's matches that year in the World Cup despite suffering an injury (the starting goalkeeper Adán Godoy was also injured and the third goalkeeper Manuel Astorga had not been called up). He was considered again for the 1974 World Cup, where he was expected to play as the starting goalkeeper, but an injury suffered after a friendly match against Haiti relegated him to the bench, with his teammate at Unión Española, Leopoldo Vallejos, taking the starting spot. Olivares played 33 matches for the Chilean National Team, and besides Santiago Wanderers, he also played for Unión Española, Unión San Felipe, Magallanes, Deportes La Serena, Deportes Concepción, Cobreloa, Huachipato, and Trasandino de Los Andes.
Olivares was a very composed goalkeeper who did not rely on agile dives or epic saves to defend his goal. Instead, he possessed excellent positioning, making him very difficult to score against. He was very aggressive when intercepting opposing players, which, according to his contemporaries, made him an 'impossible goalkeeper to beat in 1-on-1 situations.' Olivares was also a superb long passer, known for his 'bounce pass,' which he could place virtually anywhere on the field. Despite his height of 172 cm, it's worth mentioning that Olivares' greatest virtue, besides his positioning and defensive skills, was his aerial abilities. He had a high leap that allowed him to cut off crosses and handle high balls easily. For these reasons and more, Olivares is considered by many experts to be one of the best goalkeepers in Chile's history.
