Profile

Described as a robust, near-unbeatable shot-stopper in one-on-ones, per the source, which also notes he'd ironed out the inconsistency that used to define his game — the confidence he now carries had made him coach Ramón Díaz's undisputed starter.

Career to date (as of mid-1997)

Formed entirely at Ferro Carril Oeste, debuting in Primera División on 3 September 1989 against Newell's Old Boys. Joined River in 1994 as a boyhood fan of the club, working his way into the starting eleven after an adjustment period. Modeled his one-on-one style, including the "la de Dios" save technique, on his idol Hugo Orlando Gatti. Debuted for Argentina on 31 May 1995 in a 1-0 friendly win over Peru, went to the 1995 Copa América in Uruguay as backup to Cristante, and made six senior caps in total.
