However, immediately after being born, it was noticed there was something wrong with both of his feet. He was born with clubfoot, which is a defect where both feet are rotated in an inward and downward position.

Attempting to fix the problem

At the time, doctors suggested Riffo's parents try surgery. But even after that treatment, most likely he was going to have serious problems when walking. Something like a professional football career was absolutely out of the question, or at least that is what everybody thought.

Riffo himself now says that he was wearing all kinds of casts and external supports for more than 1 year when he was a small child. In fact, a consequence of the treatment was that he was left with a permanent atrophy in the gastrocnemius muscle of his right leg, which runs along the back part of the lower leg.

In 2001 he broke another milestone by having his professional debut. The teams where he played were:

● Colo-Colo;

● Santiago Morning;

● and even the Chilean national team.

Riffo quickly established himself as a solid central defender. In fact, he was key in helping Colo-Colo win 4 consecutive domestic titles between 2006 and 2007.

But the impressive things about Miguel Riffo don't end there. In 2007, Marcelo Bielsa was announced as the new coach of the Chilean national team. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the manager decided to choose none other than Riffo as one of Chile's central defenders. He never played for the youth Chilean national sides, as their managers thought he had no business there. Feel free to play with the live 1x Bet bets whenever qualifying matches are played too.
