Giulio Benedetti: un romperredes salvadoreño a Italia https://www.elsalvador.com/deportes...ZUQxAh8sVS1QvbsnheMWorWooWe1vBd8qEczow0K5yoMU
I like that they mentioned Ruben Siguenza. It’s a shame he’s not playing football anymore, but at least he and his family have permanently resettled in Italy. Surely this Benedetti guy wouldn’t be the second Salvadoran to play in Italy. Didn’t Ruben’s brother Rene play for AC Pavia of Serie C?

I was wondering what Juan Chang, a 33-year old Salvadoran-Guatemalan and one of the first SelectaTalent discoveries, was up to nowadays. Turns out he still plays in New Zealand since joining a club there in 2015. He is also a sports director for a second division club, as well as a coach for a women’s team. He didn’t have a stellar football career and was never good enough to play for El Salvador, but glad to see he is doing well for himself.

I always roll my eyes whenever I see Facebook or Twitter comments suggesting that Gian Tapia be called up to La Selecta. Even moreso now that he is playing in Australia’s 4th division. He seems content with remaining at the semi-pro level, and in the city where he resides. I remember he once trailed with Santa Tecla years ago, but nothing came of that.
