Who? :confused:

[smartbomb]

It was Hugo Sanchez Marquez, who said that felt more spanish than mexican.

[mopey04]

please tell me you're joking i know he let the glory get to his head but god that would be some cold s%$t

[El Kapitan]

Who? :confused:

Juan Angel Seguro is a guy that born in Mexico and moved at the age of 3 to Spain. He then became a soccer player for Osasuna, when Aguirre was their coach he got the chance to play a couple games with the top team, but most of the time he played for Osasuna B, was recently released by Osasuna B and as far as I know he's unemployed.

When he was interviewed by the mexican media about his feeling towards Mexico he said that he felt more Spaniard than Mexican, after that his career took a huge downslide. I don't think he feels all that Spaniard now, cause I heard that he was looking for a team in Mexico.

BTW, Iturriaga on the other hand has Basque heritage, but was born and raised in Mexico and has even stated that he would be happy to play for the Mexican NT.

Athletic 1-0 Everton

Iturriaga entro de cambio.

LOS VASCOS TOMAN MORAL EN SU VISITA AL EVERTON TRAS NO RECIBIR NINGÚN GOL

Aduriz le da el triunfo al Athletic en el homenaje a Kendall

El Athletic consiguió una victoria de mérito por 0-1 en Goodison Park ante el Everton en un partido que sirvió como homenaje a Howard Kendall, ex técnico de ambos conjuntos. Un tempranero gol de Aritz Aduriz al filo del primer cuarto de hora sirvió para que los de Sarriugarte lograrán un triunfo que aumentará su moral de cara al inicio de la Liga. El delantero donostiarra aprovechó un centro de Andoni Iraola para batir, en semifallo, a Tim Howard.

El tanto sorprendió a un Everton que tuvo en el donostiarra Mikel Arteta al canalizador de un juego escasamente fluido, pero que llegó a poner en apuros a Aranzubia en algunas acciones aisladas. Las más peligrosas las protagonizó el delantero Andy Johnson, que en el minuto 27 se lució en una gran jugada personal que acabó estrellando en el larguero y en el 33 enganchó un buen remate que tuvo que enviar a córner el portero rojiblanco.

Por parte del Athletic, al margen del gol, fue Fran Yeste el hombre más incisivo. Primero, en el 25, colocó un balón en la cabeza de Aduriz que el delantero remató fuera y en el 29 obligó a emplearse a fondo a Howard en un golpe franco que a punto estuvo de poner el 0-2 en el marcador.

Tras el descanso, la intensidad del choque bajó muchos enteros en parte por el carrusel de cambios y las llegadas al área escasearon. Por parte del Athletic lo mejor fue, sin duda, el orden y la buena interpretación del sistema defensivo por parte del once que, a dos semanas para el arranque liguero, ya comienza a definir Sarriugarte.

Con ese dibujo 4-3-3 que pretende implantar el técnico vizcaíno, el conjunto rojiblanco consiguió dejar a cero su portería por cuarta vez en los cinco amistosos disputados ofreciendo detalles interesantes de cara a corregir el que ha sido el principal problema del Athletic en los últimos años.

[Xizor]

How old is Javier Itturiaga?

[El Kapitan]

What position does he play?

His position is midfielder.

I haven't seen him, but I read he plays mostly contention, he likes to steal the ball and is pretty strong and likes physical game ( the guy used to play rugby), after stealing the ball he knows what to do with it, he either distributes the ball or goes foward to create some game. In Athletic B he used to take care of corners and free kicks.

How old is Javier Itturiaga?

I'm sorry for saying this but I get this scary feeling that la volpe is still waiting to get a second wack at it??

im sure he does, but its not going to happen!! :cool:

[guado]

you don't try out for el tri until you're called up. you don't just show up.

he is unproven at the moment, and just because he's in europe doesn't mean he's better than what we have in mexico.

if he performs well he deserves a shot.
