Claudio Rivadero — Empire FGA Bio Stub

This is a bio stub, not a graded Empire FGA profile. There is no video evidence behind this page — no OBI/SII, no core-12 sub-metrics, no ultProxy. Every field below comes from a single secondary source: the PC Fútbol — Base de Datos Apertura 97 player database (Dinamic Multimedia, 1997 copyright). Facts (dates, heights, match/goal counts) are reproduced directly since facts aren't copyrightable. The database's own scouting prose has been paraphrased, not quoted, to respect its copyright.

Follow-up to a San Lorenzo de Almagro 1997 batch sourced from the same PC Fútbol database as the Boca Juniors and Vélez Sarsfield batches. The first pass processed 16 of an original 20 referenced PDFs (14 added as bio stubs, 2 excluded — Domingo Cardozo, Adrián Coria — both still registered to their prior clubs through Clausura '97 per their own trajectory tables); the remaining 4 (Luiz Fernando, Lussenhoff, Manusovich, Meloño) were logged as "missing" at the time. This follow-up batch received the full 27-file folder: the 16 already-processed files plus 11 new ones — the 4 previously-missing names plus 7 never seen before (Núñez, Paredes, Passet, Paulo Silas, Rivadero, Saric, Tuzzio). Of those 11, 8 are confirmed genuine Clausura '97 San Lorenzo squad members and added here. 3 are excluded: Lussenhoff and Meloño turn out not to be squad members at all, contrary to their earlier "missing" label — both are incoming Apertura '97 signings per their own trajectory tables (Lussenhoff still at Toros Neza in Mexico, Meloño still at Uruguay's Rentistas, through Clausura '97). Paredes is a third, newly-found exclusion for the same reason — still registered to Ferro Carril Oeste through Clausura '97.

Profile

Can play either flank in midfield, and even right back. Covers a lot of ground, but with modest quality on the ball that shows up as imprecise passing. Has a powerful shot he uses often, and is a decent header of the ball despite his lack of height.

Career to date (as of mid-1997)

Product of Talleres de Córdoba's youth system — the same club his father "Pancho" played for. Debuted in Primera on 24 February 1991 against Independiente; missed just 2 matches across 5 tournaments there and scored at least once in every one of them. A fan favorite until his 1993 move to Belgrano, Talleres' most hated rival — two unproductive tournaments there before a transfer to San Lorenzo for Apertura '94. That tournament was the fewest matches he'd ever played in his career, just 9, with 4 sendings-off. Won the Clausura '95 title the following season. In Clausura '97 he filled every hole the team needed — both midfield flanks, and right back when Escudero was injured — performing well in every role. Played 16 matches, 1 goal.
