Argentina anxious for Ricardo Centurión: what happened
Disappeared into thin air for ten days. No one can get in touch with Centurion, an Argentine football talent who never managed to blossom due to his problems outside the green rectangle. In an interview with Radio La Red the president of Velez Berlanga spoke about what happened: “Centurión disappeared from one day to the next. We’re trying to locate it on Google Maps, but he turned off his phone. Ten days have passed and we are worried”. After complicated and anonymous seasons for the 31-year-old from Avellaneda, El Fortín had decided to bet again on his qualities, especially by the will of thecoach Gustavo Quinteros that he believed he could still recover it.
Baggio considered him his heir: the double parenthesis at Genoa
Season 2016/17: Centurión enchanted with the Boca Juniors shirt. The rising star of Argentine football had conquered everyone. But absolutely everyone, even Roberto Baggio. Yes, the Divine Codino, despite criticizing him for his off-field attitudes, in fact he considered him his heir. In Italy there had already been in 2013/14 col Genoa, without leaving his mark enough to not be redeemed at the end of the season. The Griffin, however, took it back after the amazing year with the Xeneizes. What should have been a coup it turned out to be a resounding fiasco: only three appearances and goodbye Italy.
Centurión, a career marked by controversial episodes
Although president Berlanga managed to get in touch with Centurión’s mother, there is still no news from the player. But the entire career of the ‘Wachiturro’, which at home he was compared to Di Maria when he was a young boy with high hopes, it was marked by controversial episodes. In 2018, for example, it was accused of corruption towards a police officer who had stopped him. In 2020, however, the tragedy that probably definitively affected his professional life: his girlfriend Melody Pasini lost her life at 25 years oldwho suffered a heart attack while behind the wheel.
