A The Blue Cross It is known as the “bad eye” team when it comes to signing foreigners. There are a lot of examples of footballers who arrived with many posters, but who after months continued to inflate the list of foreign failures. Juan Escobar He is one of the few who broke the rule, and in one of his best moments with the club, he returns all the love and support he received from fans with a declaration of love: I was a blue-cross from the cradle .
Arrived from Sportivo Luqueño in what was his first and only experience outside of Paraguay. Since his arrival, he has taken over the right wing of the team, and in this new stage with Juan Reynoso at the command, he alternated his stays close to the line with a position he knew from the beginning: central defender.
“As a child, my idol was Roque Santa Cruz …”, Escobar confesses in an interview for Marca Claro to the question about his “gene” that exploded in this Gardien. Guaraní is one of the team’s top scorers in this tournament (2) and, since his arrival at La Noria, has already scored six goals, a figure that exceeds the total of his annotations in the five years of Paraguay League (5).
“I’ll be honest, I’m doing well, however, I don’t feel confident saying it’s my best moment because it’s hard for me physically.” expresses with greater modesty one of the players from the blue team who accumulates the most minutes on the field. With 891 minutes this semester, the native of Villa Elisa is the second field player in Cruz Azul with the longest playing time on his feet, being surpassed only by his defensive counterpart, Julio Domínguez (900).
“I am a Cruzzulino by birth, I will always be with this team no matter what. These colors come together, I felt the affection and I will try to achieve what the fans want so much, it will be nice if we achieve it “., ended the conversation the defender-defender, who became one of the main architects of the good times of La Maquina, a team that is about to match its historical record of consecutive victories in the MX League.
