30 | Claudio Echeverri - 2024/25

[JewelZee]

What a beautiful goal Echeverri just scored for River. It may have been his first senior goal. He become very emotional. Great for him. Demichelis was beaming. The commentator was going on about its no wonder City spent the money to get this kid in...

 

[Ric]

Nice finish.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Nice finish.

Great goal, pl defenders wouldn't allow that much room though

 

[Tevez City]

Great goal, pl defenders wouldn't allow that much room though

The turn before the shot it happens in the streets , Champions league and World cup final

Riyad used to do it a lot in the PL and many other skillful players

& to combine the nice turn & perfect shot is a skill that 95% of PL players lacks

So I really dont understand why you undermine his skill with such comment ( its easy in Argentina but he cant do it here in PL ...etc )


Lets hope Jack or Doku can replicate Echeverri skill soon

Fwiw, ran across a post on twitter claiming CE's been going thru some bad health probs in his family recently - lost his grandma and now his mom's sick. Signing quickly for City probably really helped the family get the best health care ... and City leaving him in Arg for a year might be related to helping at home. Don't know if any of this is true considering its some random singular twitter post, but if it is true the kid's fighting daily sounds like.

Claudio and Masta pre-game fun, loves me some Masta ...

The Arg Olymp/u23 team played a friendly @Mexico tonight, won 4-2.
Echeverri came on at 75', had very few touches ...

edit: btw, some Arg pundit is claiming CE to Girona in 2025 is the plan and Arg twitter is spreading it.

That last play was amazing

Teams here defend just as shite as that most weeks when they bend over for certain teams.

Teams won't allow that much room against us though because they suddenly decide they can defend because we're everyone's cup final.

 

[Tevez City]

Too good for Girona

Those skills can't be easily taught, you either have it or don't since young age playing in streets.

If i were that easy to improve then we have more player with first touch like Mahrez in top level football yet only very few including him to have that kind skills.

Same can be said for Escheverri skills it's neither can be easily taught or improve.

River came from behind to win late 2-1 last night. Claudio started and played the whole match. Barco and Nacho, 2 vet MFers, did NOT start which meant CE was THE GUY in MF for River until they both subbed on later. Stadium was packed and he was involved thru-out, can't be bad for his dev ...

There's a little KDB in him isn't it?

 

[oldius]

Close control, balance and acceleration. He looks a serious prospect.

i think a loan to a champions league bound girona would be ideal for the kid, he needs to develop physically to play at city and he would stay on the bench 99% of the time anyway.

The kid has serious skill but i see him as a pure number 10, not many top teams play with one. I think that Barco would have been an easier fit as he is a left back and basicallly a better version of sergio gomez

Couple of moments there that are very impressive and plenty of play that made him look like our kind of player.
