The football globetrotters

When I read the excellent article by @rodrikun17 "FOOTBALL NEWS: Julián Álvarez - Haaland - Pedri", the idea of football globetrotters was formed in my mind.

This name, for lack of a better one, is how I found to name some players with outstanding characteristics who have no problem changing teams, generally among the most respectable and sought-after in Europe, whenever I allow them.

I was reflecting on the characteristics of Argentine players, in general, they are more "homely" and prefer the tranquility of feeling at home, respected and pampered (of course well paid too), they are not desperate in search of a transfer that will allow them to gain considerably their already bulging pockets.

The case of Julián Álvarez seems to fit within this figure, he is a simple and humble boy, I hope that fame and money do not upset him. The most emblematic example of this type of player is of course Messi who would have stayed to live in Barcelona if the situation had not become so complicated. Osvaldo Ardiles was another emblematic case, his great football quality remained for more than 10 years at Tottenham Hotspur. Batistuta was also a player who could have achieved important transfers due to his unparalleled scoring ability, but he remained loyal to Fiorentina for several years despite having been relegated to Serie B in 1992. He preferred to stay and get the team out of such a bad situation; with this, he won the hearts of the fans who idolized him during the 9 years he remained at the club.

Of course, it is not everyone's behavior, there are exceptions as in every rule, I now remember Maxi López, the ex-husband of the famous Wanda Nara, Maxi changed his (club) shirt as well as his underwear and that is how he made his enormous fortune despite Had he not been an outstanding player from my point of view, perhaps he could have shone as much as he promised, but so many team changes do not allow any player to stabilize and achieve his best performance.

Here in our country, there was an emblematic case of a globe-trotting player, probably most of you did not even hear him mentioned, although perhaps in Venezuela or Bolivia, countries where he played for Deportivo Italchacao and Bolívar respectively; This is Silvio Carrario whose nickname was "Tweety" like the little bird in the cartoons. In local football he had the strange record of changing clubs 6 years in a row, Central Córdoba de Rosario, Talleres de Córdoba, Racing de Avellaneda, Boca Juniors, Unión de Santa Fé and Deportivo Español between 1993 and 1998. In the last club, another peculiarity stood out: he played with the number 1 on the back of his shirt, being the only field player in the entire history of Argentine soccer to use that number, which generally identifies goalkeepers. The blonde player was also in Chacarita Juniors, Lanús, Quilmes (in the photograph), Olimpo de Bahía Blanca, and Aldosivi de Mar del Plata, in addition to those already mentioned from Venezuela and Bolivia and other teams from lower divisions of local soccer, I don't know if there is another player with so many transfers under his belt.
Speaking of Tweety Carrario, I remember that on one occasion while waiting for my car to be delivered to me in a parking lot, I saw him enter it aboard a shiny German sports car that looked like a spaceship. That personal example and several journalistic reports from that time gave me the idea that being a globetrotter had its advantages, despite not having played in the big and rich European leagues, he managed to have a comfortable financial life.

@rodrikun17 mentions that Haaland, despite his young age, already has a career that has led him to migrate clubs on several occasions and it would seem that it is very likely that he will also leave Manchester City, despite the titles, despite having the most important current coach and being surrounded by great quality players. He can't fight nature, can he?
