Lord Gabriel, the argentine striker who deliver his services for Inter, tells that he will finish his career in the Italian league, and repeats that he won’t return to wear the argentine national shirt again.
My ”Adios” to the national team was definitive. He almost crying he says that to him the national team means a lot, “I gave it all I had”, he says doing a video-conference from Milan transmitted in the Mexican capital doing some strange competition called “Lanzamiento”.
The 34 old south American striker, added that the Argentine project towards the 2006 world cup leaded by ”Loco” Bielsa is amazing, but points out: ”I don’t have a chance to play, I therefore prefer that the boss sticks to other youngsters”.
Bati who shinned like a fútbol-legend and with a shirt number nine said doing the video conference that he plans to play two more years at highest level in one of the world best leagues and another year at a competitive level (whatever that means!!) .
He rules out that he might finish his carrier in Argentina, even though that he would do it if he was in good enough condition.
I would have loved to finish in Argentina, but there isn’t time to do it. When I finish my two year contract with Inter I will not return and play in bad condition, says Lord Gabriel, one of the best international footballers in last decade.
The ex-goal hunter of Boca juniors also says that he rate the Brazilian Butthole Ronaldo as one of the best center forwards at the planet.
”Ronaldo is a fenómeno”, I don’t know if he is the best, because the are great players like Crespo and Raul, but he is in this group where you find the very best footballers he concludes.
