Maradona finally gave the list 23 for the World Cup with Garcé as a great surprise. Among the front, Palermo was summoned Lavezzi and stayed out. The other displaced: Coloccini, Insaurralde, Mercier, Sosa, Dátolo and Blanc.


It is the surprise of the 23 players that Diego Maradona was on the table for the 2010 World Cup. But the career of Ariel Garcé did not start yesterday, although at Ten team has only one party. His debut was in 1999 in the River of Ramon Diaz, at right back although his natural position was the central defender. While the selection had already been summoned by Marcelo Bielsa on two occasions, both in 2003, to play friendlies against Honduras (was sent) and the U.S..

For history must go back to Tandil, where he was discovered by a talent scout who took him to River, the club he won titles after his debut with Ramón Díaz (Clausura 2002) and Manuel Pellegrini, in 2003, after which it was sold Morelia of Mexico, where he played just one season, and in 2004 he returned to River, at the request of Leonardo Astrada. With the Black reached a new closing, but that same year signed a contract to play in Columbus, his current club, where his first move was a somewhat erratic performance that was destined to be transferred to Olimpo. He received the worst news: <b> a suspension of six months from ingesting banned substances </ b>. When he returned, had an acceptable performance but could not prevent relegation to the B Nacional. He did not play in the second category because Astrada ask him again, this time to play at Central. When it renewed the contract is not returned to Columbus today to receive the best news of all: the call to the World Cup despite his lack of experience in the selection.

Maradona is that those minutes would have sufficed to Haiti football, when he said "good Chinese, good" when he put that pinpoint pass to the head of Martin Palermo, another local soccer will be in South Africa to the Argentine goal. Amid speculation about whether or not the surprise would be helped by the Turco Mohamed, who winked Diego when he was 4 (for the first time in the tournament because Garcé had asked not to be more lateral), position in which Maradona I think as a spare Otamendi. All power, as he likes to Diego. In addition, he played Garcé stopper and sweeper in a three-man defense in Columbus, so that the SD of the selection will expand the range of possibilities.

And it's important to note that Maradona also liked the attitude of defense against the team and the way he spoke to his teammates before heading out to play that cold night against Haiti. So, in attitude appears to have gained the passage to South Africa, that had already booked passage to watch the World Cup with his friends but now you can see from inside the stadium and the blue and white on the chest.
