Freddy Guarín
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freddy Alejandro Guarín Vasquez (born June 30, 1986 in Boyaca in Colombia) is a football player for Envigado FC in Colombia. He has recently been taken on loan by Boca Juniors and spent his first six months in their youth system. Injuries to Boca Juniors' midfielders Sebastián Battaglia and Fernando Gago opened the door for Guarin to show his stuff in a series of pre-season friendlies in January of 2006 and Guarin was able to secure a first team spot backing up Battaglia at the right midfield position.
He is generally considered a central or right sided midfielder, and has represented Colombia at all youth levels and recently received his first full international CAPs to represent Colombia in a series of pre-World Cup friendlies. Guarin is known for his possession of a ferocious right footed shot from distance with which he has scored at two World Youth Cups. He is compared fondly to Colombian soccer great Freddy Rincón by many experts who see similarities in their game beyond their first names.
He has been taken on loan in August 2006 by AS Saint-Etienne. The french club intends to make the move permanent at the end of the season.
