Alvaro "Il Chino" Recoba

@ Gagainterfan: I agree, David Beckham isnt that great but found a way to make himself ultra-famous!

Why is it that every time i see picture of him or hear his name, the first thing i think about is vasilios. okerface:

Recoba is my favroutie player.... Álvaro Alexander Recoba Rivero, nicknamed "El Chino", is a Uruguayan footballer currently playing for Primera División Uruguaya side Club Nacional de Football.... He has played also within European football, most notably during eleven years with Inter Milan of the Italian Serie A.... Recoba can operate as an attacking midfielder and won 69 caps for the Uruguay national team between 1995 and 2007, participating at the 2002 World Cup.

Everytime I see this it makes me laugh. His only post before he was banned.

 

[Wallace]

Why was he banned?

 

[William]

Why was he banned?

Firstly, I doubt that he actually knew anything about Recoba, or Inter.

Secondly, he used wikipedia and pasted the first paragraph from his page on the site. :trollol:

[Wallace]

Troll at his best.

Does anybody know if Chino is gonna retire at the end of the season? If he would he should return to us to be like a free kick coach or some shit since Chivu is leaving

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Otherwise you wanted Chivu to be a free kick coach?:troll:

After Chivu there's nobody to score a free kick. Chino needs to teach the team on how to take a freekick, it's not like Guarin is gonna shoot em in. That's only possible if the goal is on the moon.

Chivu lost his free kick ability a long time ago. So much so that when his last free kick he scored with us I was astonished

0:07 guy with a blue mouth?

Otherwise I have to agree with you, his freekick talent was way better at Ajax, which I saw live in the stadium

Sorry if this is a repeat, but my Uruguyan friend posted this on FB and it's pretty awesome vintage Chino, featuring many nice plays in a nerazzurri shirt. Funny how so many of the players he's going against have been owned by Inter, as well.

I like how the creator of the video categories it by opposing defenders. Creates kind of a cool perspective for the history of a his career. (You can skip 4:20 - 4:45, BTW :angel

I've taken this discussion here.

I have found the story about Recoba, Ronaldo and Vieri taking paycuts here http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/de...-and-recoba-volunteer-for-pay-cuts-2002-07-15

I was looking for the one of 2005, and I found a thread on a football forum, who's thread-opener goes by the name ' Devious ' who is also from Egypt http://forums.soccerfansnetwork.com/showthread.php?27409-That-s-why-Recoba-should-leave&
But could'nt find anything about the 50% paycut

This is the best I could find about Recoba's pay cut in 2005. There may be a better source out there somewhere.

MILAN - (m.gra) A Palazzo Durini we start discussing expiring contracts. Among these c 'is to Alvaro Recoba, achieved at this time by his attorney. It dates back to Thursday afternoon the 'last contact between Vice President Ghelfi and the 29 year old Uruguayan. A face-to-face practically decisive and facilitated by a common desire not to divorce. The Chino, in practice, very soon will sign a new contract that will tie him to 'Inter until June 2009 should earn less than € 2 million per season, in line with the new policy of engagements that Moratti and his collaborators are by adopting a couple of seasons in this part.

He accepted a wage cut to less than €2m when barely 2 years earlier he was the 'highest paid player' at €6m (?) per season.

Moratti said in an interview that the player he loved the most was Chino Recoba.
Moratti's eye-apple

That's a huge surprise

Actually it doesnt make any sense
