the former Verona at 30 is unrecognizable
He was the new Mascherano, the captain of River Plate, but at 30 Ezequiel Cirigliano is only a shadow of himself. The former Verona midfielder was arrested overnight in Argentina on heavy charges.
It seems incredible the drift that took the life of Ezequiel Cirigliano30-year-old Argentine midfielder who at 18 made his debut with River Plate and it deserved the challenging comparison with Javier Mascherano for the ability to play the role of struggle and government in front of the defense, to the point of being nicknamed ‘El jefecito’, the little boss.
It was 2010, it seemed the beginning of a career destined to place him among the best interpreters of world football for several years to come, and instead today that ten years have passed Cirigliano is behind bars, arrested overnight in Argentina for attempted armed robbery. We remember the young Ezequiel well also in Italy, for having played with the shirt of Verona in the 2013/14 season (13 appearances in the league and one in the Italian Cup), when he arrived in Serie A with his baggage of good promises still intact.

At the end of the year, Verona could not find an agreement with River on the price to pay for the redemption of the loan and that was the beginning of the descent for the boy, who returned to Buenos Aires in March 2015 was arrested for driving without registration , in a state of intoxication and resistance to arrest. For this reason he was taken out of the squad and no longer played with the first team or with the reserve team. From there intangible with the jerseys of Dallas, Tigre, Atletico Tucuman, then three years in Mexico, one in Chile and finally in Argentina last year to play for Godoy Cruz (only bench with a single presence).

The old ‘jefecito’ was over for some time and then, in order to win an engagement, last February Cirigliano returned to Italyfollowing in the footsteps of himself a young dreamer of 9 years ago, and signed up for an amateur club, Cynthialbalonga Calcio, a Lazio club militant in Serie D. Also in this case, despite the level much lower than that faced by someone who also wore the River Plate captain’s armband in his career, the midfielder saw very little of the field, just 22 minutes in just 2 appearances.

This summer Cirigliano returned to his homeland, where tonight his story as a now finished footballer turned into the black page of a criminal affair. The young man, 30 years old last January, was arrested and placed in custody at the Departmental Police Headquarters of Tres de Febrero, in the province of Buenos Aires, for entering a house armed for robbery and for firing gunshots. He is charged with arrest for illegal carrying of a firearm and trespassing. The police confiscated a 9 mm caliber pistol with 11 bullets in the magazine and one in the chamber ready to be exploded..

Cirigliano is therefore currently behind bars and will have to wait for the ruling of the judge, who will have to decide whether the custody must be extended or the player can return to freedom. It all started when in Caseros, the young man’s hometown, someone called the police after seeing a gunman in front of his house. A few minutes later he heard a shot and saw the same person, this time in his yard. The police came but did not find him and left. A few minutes later the agents heard gunshots again and began to search the whole area, finally arresting Cirigliano, who in the circumstance was wearing a PSG shirt (the same as seen in the mugshot released by the Argentine media) and long trousers. of Boca Juniors. A video released online shows the excited moments of the arrest, with the football player face down and a policeman pulling his gun out of his pocket.
From the 30-year-old environment they deny that you would like to steal and add that for several years he has been undergoing treatment for psychiatric problems, having fallen into depression because he no longer played professionally. The news was widely reported in Argentina, where Cirigliano’s name is associated with a glorious club like River Plate (with whom he played 63 times in the Primera Division), but also with the Albicelesti colors, given that in 2011 he played in the Under 20 World Cup. And many now remember how the unfavorable family context in which he grew up always played against Cirigliano, preventing him from becoming the champion he seemed destined to be. The final word on Ezequiel the footballer probably came tonight.
