Juan Manuel ITURBE will represent the Paraguayan National Team.

Former player for the U20 Argentina team, Juan Manuel ITURBE will play for Paraguay and not Argentina. ITURBE represented Argentina at the U20 level and played a friendly match with Paraguay in 2009 (then coach Tata MARTINO called him up and ITURBE played a few minutes). However, since it was a friendly match and not an official match, ITURBE was still eligible to play for Argentina and had since stated that he wants to play for Argentina and not Paraguay.

However, news is now breaking that ITURBE will represent Paraguay next month in the World Cup Qualifiers when they play Ecuador and Brazil, making him an official player for the Paraguayan National Team.

It’s been a while since our last random Mundo video and considering it’s Friday, why not do one about a certain #9 Argentina had just a few years ago. Hernan CRESPO!

The previous generation grew up with BATISTUTA, CANIGGIA, Kily GONZALEZ, ZANETTI and a few other veterans but Hernan CRESPO’s name must surely also be up there as a fan favorite. Without further a do, Hernan CRESPO!

It was a midweek full of goals by Argentinians in the Champions League and Europa League.

In the Champions League, Lionel MESSI scored twice for the reigning champions in their 2-0 win in London against Arsenal. Much talk prior to the match was about how MESSI had never scored against Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech when he was with Chelsea. Well, MESSI took CECH down to his knees (literally) on the first goal and slotted a penalty past him for the second.

Sergio AGUERO also found the back of the net away from home for his club in their 3-1 win against Dynamo Kyiv.

Paulo DYBALA scored for Juventus in their 2-2 draw at home in a battle of the heavyweights against Bayern.

In the Europa League, Erik LAMELA scored as his Tottenham secured a spot in the Round of 16 of the Europa League with a 3-0 win against Fiorentina.

OFFICIAL : Pocho Leaves For China

Ezequiel LAVEZZI has been linked with a possible move away from Paris but much to everyone’s surprise (or maybe not but we will come back to that part later) he has chosen to sign with Chinese Super League side Hebei Fortune.

The official announcement of this signing was made just about an hour ago. OFFICIAL: Hebei China Fortune have completed the signing of Argentine forward Ezequiel Lavezzi (31) from PSG.

 

It appears Pocho has signed a 2 year deal worth £23.5 milion and will earn about £400,000 per week wages.

As you all know there has been a massive spending from clubs in China during the month of January with lots of surprise names making their move to the Far East.

With that said, I guess this could be the end for Pocho career with the National Team but then again, wouldn’t surprise me if Tata MARTINO still thinks he has a place with the Albiceleste.
