Javier PASTORE of Argentina, AS Roma: “I always preferred to assist than score”

25

Newly signed Javier PASTORE has stated that it’s important for him to be at a team like Roma while also stating he prefers to assist than to score.

The former PSG man signed with the Italian giants last week and doesn’t appear to have any regrets about his move. Now playing for the second time in Italy after having played for Palermo before joining PSG in 2011, PASTORE said that he needs continuity in his playing time. Speaking with Roma TV, here’s what the Argentine international had to say:

“For me, it’s very important to be at a team like Roma. I need confidence at this point in my career and it’s great that a team as big as Roma gives you that. I want to have continuity (playing time). This team has been preparing for important thing and will compete against the best teams in the world.”

When asked about scoring and assisted, he no doubt likes to play the decisive pass:

“I always preferred to assist than to score. It gives me more pleasure to see the forward scoring. It’s always important for a team that the forwards score a lot of goals.”

Ricardo GARECA: “I am a free coach” as Argentina look for manager

Peru’s Ricardo GARECA spoke at a press conference stating he is a free coach.

As we reported on Monday, the Peruvian FA tweeted out saying that their national team coach Ricardo GARECA would hold a press conference on Tuesday. At that press conference, GARECA said that he would take time to see if he will remain as the manager of Peru but for now he is a free coach.

Reports in Argentina remain that Jorge SAMPAOLI will not continue as national team manager and GARECA’s name has been thrown into the hat following the team’s elimination from the World Cup.

Ricardo GARECA to hold Peru press conference tomorrow, to coach Argentina?

Peru coach Ricardo GARECA will hold a press conference on Tuesday.

Per a Tweet by the Peruvian FA, their national team coach Ricardo GARECA will hold a press conference. Increasing reports in the Argentine media are that the AFA have already taken the decision to fire Jorge SAMPAOLI.

We can only speculate that the press conference tomorrow would mean that GARECA could be stepping down as coach. Although that is pure speculation (it could also mean he is going to renew his contract) but considering the circumstances and everything going on involving the AFA and how GARECA has been heavily linked to the Argentina coaching job, it seems very possible.
