Juan Roman Riquelme
08/05/2006: Despite his huge natural ability Riquelme is actually reported to be quite a quiet man. Perhaps it was this quality that stopped the inspirational midfielder from prospering when he made his big move to Barcelona from Boca Juniors.
No one ever thought that moving to the tiny town of Villarreal to play his football would help revive his career, but it did just that. He steered the team known as the Yellow Submarine to third place in the la Liga and took the club all the way to the Champions League semi-finals.
The real reason for this breakthrough was that Riquelme is a classical Argentinean playmaker, who needs a team to be built around his style of play.
Although this was not forthcoming at Barca, he is certainly the boss of the Madrigal, where he now plays.
Rumours have now naturally appeared again linking Riquelme with a bigger club.
Before any decisions are made about his club career, however, the small Argentine will want to put in some good performances for his country.
And he will have to do just that - Argentina are in a tough group with the Netherlands, Serbia and Montenegro and the Ivory Coast.
