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
Out-and-out centre forward, with a natural finishing instinct and a real capacity to get shots away. His habitat is the penalty area, where he moves with ease and reads the game intelligently. Arrived from Paraguay and surprised everyone with how quickly he adapted to Argentine football, establishing himself as the reserve team's top scorer.
Career to date (as of mid-1997)
Born in Morón but moved to Asunción, Paraguay as a small child. Settled there, he came up through Cerro Porteño's youth system, one of the country's biggest clubs, and his goalscoring in the first team drew attention from several Argentine sides. Joined San Lorenzo ahead of Apertura '96 and immediately stood out in the reserve league, scoring heavily enough to earn a Primera debut on 22 September 1996 against Platense — he played just two more matches that tournament before Castelli moved on without him, and he went back to the reserves. He was a key piece there in the reserve team's title, scoring 18 goals in 20 matches. In Clausura '97 he was first cover for Biaggio and Abreu whenever either was injured or suspended, but never nailed down a starting role — Castelli preferred to keep him with continuity in the reserves. Played 9 matches, 1 goal, in Clausura '97.
