http://www.futbolred.com/colombiano...a-es-nuevo-jugador-del-santos-laguna/12442270 El exdelantero de Alianza Petrolera fue el goleador del Torneo Postobón II-2012 con 15 anotaciones. El delantero colombiano Andrés Yair Rentería, del Alianza Petrolera de su país, se incorporará este martes al Santos Laguna para el torneo Clausura 2013 del fútbol mexicano, informó el equipo de la ciudad de Torreón. Santos adquirió la ficha de Rentería en una transferencia definitiva del Alianza Petrolera, equipo con el que fue el máximo anotador de la segunda división con quince tantos y con el que ascendió al máximo circuito, dijo el equipo en un comunicado. Rentería, de 19 años, debutó en el 2011 en Atlético Nacional y después fue jugador del Alianza Petrolera cuando estaba en la segunda división. Santos destacó que Rentería es un jugador de gran velocidad y bueno en el mano a mano con los rivales, además de una de las actuales promesas del fútbol colombiano Will be interesting to see how he and Darwin play together.
Mexican League? Dude should have stay in Colombia to play first division and perhaps European team would have taken him in another year or two.
Maybe. But we have seen young promising players take more than a year or two to be noticed by a good Euro team. If he does well in Mexico he could go to the EPL or Porto like Rodallega and Jackson.
It took ages for them to finally make the jump. It's much easier from a financial standpoint for European team to acquire a player from Colombian league than Mexico.
Well, it can take ages depending on the team he goes to in Colombia too. Certain factors come into play like how much playing time he gets, how much depth is at his position etc. Either way, Santos probably paid decent money for him now in hopes he can play well and they can cash in on him in a few years.
I think at the end of the day its a question of mentality. if the player just wants cash, he'll fall in love with the pay day in Mexico and be satisfied there (like a Darwin who at this point must have turned down some opps given how well he has performed in Mexico), but if he wants more then certainly the Mexican league is a decent springboard (more competitive speaking objectively than our league while far less attractive than Brasil or Arg).
Primera navidad ljos de casa, bonito el gesto de darwin de invitarlo a su casa http://www.elsiglodetorreon.com.mx/noticia/821906.guerreros-toman-break-navideno.html Estas fiestas estará junto a su paisano Carlos Darwin Quintero, quien lo invitó a cenar al lado de su familia, para que luego ambos reporten a los entrenamientos a media semana en el complejo santista. "Es la primera vez que me tocará fuera, pero igual es parte del proceso que vivo, la idea es que después vengan familiares". Dentro del proceso de adaptación, lo que más le ha costado al "Topo" Rentería, es el picante en las comidas, aunque alabó la gastronomía mexicana, mencionando que los tacos con guisos de carne de res, son los que más le han gustado. Varios colombianos, han defendido la playera albiverde en años anteriores, responsabilidad de la que está consciente: "Hemos hablado mucho de mis antecesores colombianos en el club, el futbol mexicano es muy bueno, me gustaría dejar huella aquí, aportar y terminar de formarme como jugador". El refuerzo verdiblanco no descartó ir a Europa en un futuro, por lo que en la actualidad sólo piensa en los Guerreros pese a que en los próximos días inicia con su selección Sub-20 en Argentina la eliminatoria rumbo al mundial de Turquía 2013.
1 Goal and an assist (to Darwin) for Renteria today in the Mexican Playoffs. Santos has advanced to the Semis to play Cruz Azul.
Another goal, this time in a losing cause ( :50): I hope Santos allows him to play in the sub20 World Cup. I think he and Cordoba up front could be deadly.
Cordoba kind of sucked in the qualifiers. I really hope we have some surprise players for the World Cup. Main thing is we need a healthy Quintero and a to find a legit RB/LB. rest of the team is pretty good. With the defenders we have at the U-20 we should try a 3-4-3 Also we are U-20 SA champions are we going to the Olympics or has Comenbol found a way to screw us out of it to send Brazil and Argentina to it. Our last 2 U-20s. Plus Falcao, Cuadrado/Zapata and Sanchez/Ospina would be pretty sick. Even then for the extra 3 over 23 players I really can't think of any I'd really think is super important. Our last 2 sub 20s have had great rosters. Falcao as he is a huge player for us maybe a experienced goalie or CB? Just think of our last sub 20 with Falcao up top and Ospina at goal. Think that is good enough for gold at the Olympics.(hopefully Pekermans 2nd trophy with us)
to the olympics go, the teams that win a year before the olympics the south american tournament........COLOMBIA havent qualified yet.... so, we have to win that spot in 2015...... i would take falcao, ospina and dmf (maybe abel or valencia) ......cbs that are good in colombia, maybe can play the olimpiques in u 23........maybe james
Andres Renteria basically ran a nice counter attack and assisted the 2nd goal in Santos' 2-0 victory over Penarol in the Libertadores.
Que golazo... este pelao esta bien joven y en Mexico va a pulirse en muchos aspectos pa dar el salto a Europa
Another decent goal today in CL. Working real well with Darwin who set up 3 goals. Really could have used this kid in the last U20. Our current crop of U20 kids seem very very good. Perea, Cordoba, Renteria are all getting good minutes abroad.
dude has been pretty impressive after being left out of the WC squad. Having a real good year. Broke Aquivaldo badly in this goal. Made I'm look foolish http://www.futbolcolex.com/20140503goles-03mayo
