I'm an Italian American and my favorite team is Inter-Milan. My alltime favorite player is Javier Zanetti. Since the 2010 WC my favorite player has been Diego Lugano. He was awesome in the WC and 2011 Copa America. I think he's one of the best center backs in the world even at 32. He's a hard worker and great on set plays with his head. I follow him wherever he goes. I just want to know what Uruguayans think of him. Do you think his time has passed or he has some life left in him as Uruguay Capt.? I hope he gets one more run at glory in the 2014 WC in Brazil. Also it's nice to see him on a team like Malaga they need him and he'll get some playing time in the CL.
He is a great player and captain. He is a true Leader on the field and never has fear. Things didn't workout for him in PSG, but I think Malaga will be a good team for him. As for Uruguay, He is a MUST on the starting line-up. I hope he will be in form by the time 2014 World Cup comes around.
Yeah I was just wondering cause he always gets over shadowed by the bigger stars like Suarez,Cavani and Forlan(well,I guess defenders are always overshadowed by strikers.) Also hard to get his name and number on national team jerseys lol. But I do have a replica 2010/2011 home Uruguay jersey with his name and number my prized possession.
Yeah probably around the world. But in Uruguay they love him as much as Suarez, Cavani, and Forlan. I bet it is. I think on soccer.com they have Cavani and Suarez only.
I had to get my jersey from a friend in Uruguay. He sells tonz of Uruguary National team merch and uses the same printer that the national team does.
You guys think his best days are behind him? It seems like when he plays for Malaga they loose. I hope it's just a bad spell. I know he isn't getting any younger. You think he'll captain Uruguay at the Confederations Cup and next years WC?
Hey guys, we (West Bromwich Albion) are close to signing Lugano. He is obviously a player of great experience and pedigree but since you know more about him than I do, do you think he will be a good fit for us in the premier league?
I don't know much about West Brom and what you guys need as far as center backs but,he is very strong and good in the air with his head on set plays. His last few years he has been slowing down but had a decent Confederations Cup this summer. Hopefully if you guys do sign him he'll be of some help.
Confirmed. Has signed a 2 year contract. http://www.wba.co.uk/news/article/leader-lugano-joins-albion-964585.aspx Thanks InterFan. Hopefully he will become a rock for us during his time at the club. Excited to see him play.
Thanks for the great video...certainly seems very good with his head. If only that Alex was a few years younger....he seem to be involved in everything.
Man Diego has really fallen in his club days ever since he left Fenerbahce. He was terrible over the weekend for West Brom. Not good for one of the rare starts he got for them. He really needs more playing time. At his age who knows how much he has left. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/fo...rwich-2-dopey-diego-lugano-is-uruguay-skipper
