This weekend, the Bundesliga kicked off and so did 7 argentine players - the biggest number of argies ever to play in Germany.
We don't have the big argentine 'star players' here Germany but some promising young talents which could get into the focus of Bielsa if they are playing well ( ... thats my humble opinion
, Bielsa still is in command of the argentine NT, isn't he ?..).
And i'm expecting the number of argentine players in the Bundesliga to grow over the next months and years, since the german clubs don't have these huge financial problems like clubs from Italy or Spain because they didn't take part in the european transfer madness ....
Wolfburg and Werder are targeting Leandro Romagnoli, Dortmund is still said to be interested in Ernesto Farías ( although a transfer will not take place this year ..) and Hamburg still has an eye on Daniel Montengro, perhaps they will try to bring him into the Bundesliga in the winter..
In this thread, i will give you some updates on the performance of the argentine players every once a while, perhaps this is of some interest for you, although you won't find any Riquelmes, Saviolas or Crespos here....
Right now, you can find the following argentine players in the Bundesliga :
Borussia Dortmund ( 2002 german champs ) :
Juan Fernandez ( 22 years old, left or right midfield ), signed from Estudiantes this summer, .
Schalke 04 ( 2002 german cup holders) :
Annibal Matellán (25, defence ), signed from Boca in 2001
Hamburger SV ( my team ) :
Rudolfo Esteban Cardoso ( 33, 'classic' playmaker in central midfield ), signed '96 from Werder Bremen
Bernardo Romeo ( 24, striker ) , signed from San Lorenzo in the winter 01/02
Cristian Raul Ledesma (23, defensive/central midfield), signed from River Plate this summer
VfL Wolfsburg :
Diego Klimovicz ( 28, striker) signed from Lanús at the end of 2001
Bayer Leverkusen :
Diego Placente ( 25, defence ), signed from River Plate in the winter 00/01 - perhaps the best known player of all 'coz he played in the World Cup.
