Born: Plata, 05/03/1973

Position: Forward

Height: 1.80m

Weight: 77Kg

Career

He is a physically strong and skilful attacker who feels his main strength is in setting up goals. His arrival at Juventus was overshadowed by problems with his achilles tendon for which he had to undergo surgery.

The Argentinian attacker is married with four boys and he considers his family to be a central part in his life. They have supported him all the way even during the summer training session.

Interests

His favourite movie is Shakespeare in Love and his favourite actors are Al Pacino and Meg Ryan.

Ancelotti's view: "The problem with his tendon, which surgery has sorted out, has detracted from his performance during his first few months as a Bianconero. He is a good second target man but he can also play in the midfield."
