Pumas: Favio Álvarez, the booster who paid 1MP to play in Primera

TO Favio Álvarez and their representative cost 750 thousand Argentine pesos (one million Mexican pesos at current value) to fulfill the dream of playing in the First Division in Argentina and thus emigrate abroad.

It was 2014 and the Argentine steering wheel was fond of Cordoba Workshops, a club that played in the First National B (Ascent). However, the goal of the player was in the Super League, so his agent Luis Grillo helped him to terminate his contract.

“You always have to make decisions for your career, I left Workshops, I am a Workshops fan, that decision cost me a lot, I had to make it, I went through Atlético Tucumán, which gave me the opportunity to play Cup and later on the Galaxy that served as a springboard to get here, which was one of my dreams to play in Mexico, ”Alvarez said.

This is how he arrived at the Pampero Maximum Circuit, first with Defense and Justice and then with Atlético Tucumán, which was his springboard to MLS with LA Galaxy where he was seen by the auriazul directive to bring him to the MX League.

In that 2014, the team of Workshops he was in the election of a new club president, who was bankrupt between 2004 and 2016, so it was not complicated to accept the payment.

Interestingly, in November 2014 he was elected president of the club Andres Fassi, vice president of Grupo Pachuca, who was no longer able to stop Favio’s departure.

“Yes, just when we arrived he left, I did not have to coordinate with him, (but is) very good player, an offensive player, of those creative players who associate very well, a player who in recent years had good performances in the teams he has been, ”Fassi told Midi-Weather.

He is a creative, of those traditional numbers 10 that there are few left, you can play on the right or on the left, you have always played inside, it is an offensive flyer with a goal, with good technique and especially with the ability to associate very well ”.

Now Favio has arrived as reinforcement to Pumas after being a partner of the Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the MLS.

“While each team has a figure like the one you name (Zlatan), in the Mexican League there are many hierarchy players and it is demonstrated with what Monterrey did in the Club World Cup, so it will be an important challenge for me to play in Mexico, ”Álvarez said.
