Kevin Gutiérrez, FC Porto stars’ barber: “Fresh trim, goals follow” | OneFootball

FC Porto’s season has been marked by success and by a network of close ties. In a winning team, friendships grow stronger and influence spreads, even becoming part of the routine, like a small ritual or a healthy dose of vanity. A haircut is always on a player’s mind, whether for aesthetics or superstition. There is even a champion in this department within the squad: Colombian Kevin Gutiérrez has managed to bring several well-known names from the football pitches to his place, ‘Latin Barber’, in Vila Nova de Gaia, securing a loyal clientele that becomes even more regular the busier the schedule of matches and challenges. At an FC Porto so often rich in welcoming Colombian talent, Kevin no longer relies only on fellow countrymen, although his success is directly linked to Luís Diáz, with whom he formed a friendship that remains to this day and which led the barber to travel to Liverpool to take care of Lucho’s look, the Guajiro star discovered by the dragons in Barranquilla. Uribe, Jackson and Seba Pérez helped cement that Colombian reign in the city, but now it is Samu, Borja Sainz and Bednarek who continue to help Kevin grow, as he decorates the barbershop mostly with Porto shirts. The first is a fan of routine, the second is obsessed with the details in every move, and the third was responsible for bringing the dragons’ new promise to the same place: Oskar Pietuszewski. Pablo Rosario and Deniz Gul are other regular visitors.
