Nestor Raul Gorosito — 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.

Part of a San Lorenzo de Almagro 1997 batch sourced from the same PC Fútbol database as the Boca Juniors batches. Of 20 PDFs referenced, 16 arrived in this session (4 — Luiz Fernando, Lussenhoff, Manusovich, Meloño — were referenced but never transferred, despite two attempts, and are not yet processed). Of the 16 received, 2 (Domingo Cardozo, Adrián Coria) were excluded: both were still registered to their prior clubs (Colegiales, Platense) through Clausura '97 per their own trajectory tables, only arriving at San Lorenzo for the following Apertura '97. The remaining 14 are new, verified Clausura '97 San Lorenzo first-team squad members, added as bio stubs. Three of the 14 — Abreu, Gorosito and Angelucci — share a name with a pre-existing HTML file already on disk (Sebastian_Abreu.html, Nestor_Gorosito.html, Gilberto_Angelucci.html) that could not be opened for inspection (OneDrive placeholder files, not hydrated locally) and have no entry anywhere in the live player database. To avoid any risk of overwriting whatever those files contain, this bio stub uses a fuller name variant and a distinct filename; the original files were left untouched.

Filename note. A pre-existing file named Nestor_Gorosito.html already exists on the platform but has no entry anywhere in the live player database and could not be opened for inspection (see the batch note above). This bio stub is filed under the fuller name Nestor Raul Gorosito specifically to avoid touching that file.

Profile

The club's biggest idol among its own supporters. The team's undisputed attacking-midfield fulcrum and one of the most technically gifted players in Argentine football. Highly intelligent, dictates the pace his team needs, always well-positioned. Excellent vision and passing range, a fine dead-ball taker, and the squad's designated penalty-taker. His one real flaw, per the source: he can drift out of matches, to the detriment of his team's attack.

Career to date (as of mid-1997)

A league title with River Plate (1985/86), a Copa Libertadores with River ('86), an Intercontinental Cup with River ('86), an Austrian league title with Tirol (1989/90), and a Copa América (Ecuador '93). First played internationally at the 1989 Copa América in Brazil, where Argentina (under Bilardo) finished third. Later played under Basile, who tried to pair him again with Alberto Acosta at national-team level without recapturing their San Lorenzo form; won the Copa América '93 in Ecuador and played in World Cup '94 qualifying, but after the 5-0 loss to Colombia and Diego Maradona's recall to the squad, was left out of the World Cup squad. Given a chance by Passarella to take a leading role in a scoreless qualifying draw with Uruguay at the Estadio Centenario for France '98 qualifying, but a poor performance saw him dropped the following match and not recalled since. Came through River Plate's academy from a very young age, discovered playing for his neighborhood team, Deportivo Tigre, in a friendly at River's ground. Brought into training with River's first team by the legendary Ángel Labruna at just 15, sharing a pitch with the likes of Passarella, Merlo, J.J. López and Fillol. Two years later, with Alfredo Di Stéfano reportedly poised to give him his senior debut, he was struck down with hepatitis and out for three months. Finally debuted in the Primera División in 1983 under Luis Cubilla, in a fixture against Unión de Santa Fe in which clubs fielded youth players because of a strike, sharing midfield duties with fellow debutants Mariano Dalla Líbera and Néstor DeVicente. Under Veira, he alternated in and out of the first team before River's 1986 haul of the league title, the Libertadores and the Intercontinental. His move to San Lorenzo came out of a trade that ultimately fell through — the plan had been for Gorosito and Sergio Goycochea to move to San Lorenzo in exchange for José Luis Chilavert and Roberto Siviski, but only Gorosito's side of the deal went through. Started as a squad player at San Lorenzo but earned Veira's trust and became an undisputed starter, forming a well-known partnership with Alberto Acosta. An excellent Clausura '97 earned him a recall to the national team: the undisputed starter in the attacking-midfield role, scoring 5 goals in 16 appearances.

Season	Club	Division	Matches	Goals

16 appearances, 5 goals, in Clausura '97 — form good enough to earn a recall to the Argentina squad.
