Juan Roman Riquelme San Fernando (Argentina) 24 June 1978 182 cm 76 kg 7 international Debut 14 August 2002 Biography Riquelme started in the youth teams of Argentina Juniors and after two years there he was sufficiently prepared to move on to one of the great clubs of Argentinean football.River Plate and Boca Juniors showed a lot of interest in signing him and it was finally Boca that signed him. After achieving everything possible with Boca, the time had arrived for Juan Roman Riquelme to make the move to European football.He now has an excellent future ahead of himself and a C.V. to be added to, if there is any space left. Position He is a different footballer with a lot of character on the pitch. This is a man who can turn a game on its head with one magical piece of skill. In Argentina they said he played as the enganche, the player who links up midfield and attack, literally the harness or as the armador, a player capable of playing telling final balls, literally the loader. In Europe he will have to adapt to a style of football which is more physical and at times a little less colourful. It is said that his right foot is like a glove which caresses and kneads the ball like dough, as he constantly puts his foot on it. Barca have put their faith in him as they did with his great idol Diego Armando Maradona. A strange fact is that both these footballers have shared a similar path, playing in the same three teams from the beginnings of their careers.Argentinos, Boca and FC Barcelona.
