Villarreal already has three Argentine players in its starting eleven, three footballers of weight and fixed for Emery in their alignments. After the arrival of Gio Lo Celso, Emery has at his disposal Gero Rulli as goalkeeper, with Juan Foyht as lateral and with the same Lo Celso as a midfielder.
A circumstance, that of having three Argentine players as undisputed starters, who It hadn’t happened for exactly a decade. After the players of Spanish nationality, Argentines are the ones who in greater number have worn the shirt of the Castellón team in First, which has always meant that there were Argentines in their eleven.
Although in all those years and those seasons, there have only been six campaigns in which the team had three or more Argentines as regulars in the elevens, being the campaigns with Manuel Pellegrini the ones that gave this situation the most. Thus, in the 04-05, 05-06 or 06-07 seasons, the team had in its eleven as fixed to Rodolfo Martin Arruabarrena, Gonzalo Rodriguez and Roman Riquelme like the fixed trio in eleven. To which in the 04-05 and 05-06 campaigns, Juan Pablo Sorín joined as one more regular. A few seasons in which Argentine soccer players such as Battaglia, Figueroa, Somoza or Fabricio Fuentes played, but they did not reach the level of being indisputable (Fuentes was with Gonzalo Rodríguez’s injuries).
It should be noted that in the season 03-04 the trio of Argentines was formed by Arruabarrena, Coloccini and Riquelme. While in the 09-10 campaign the club had Ariel Ibagaza and Gonzalo Rodríguez as permanent fixtures, but players like Musacchio, Escudero or Ruben were not permanent fixtures.
After that first stage with three players in the eleven of the first decade of the century, You have to look at the 11-12 campaign, in which the trio of Argentines was formed by Mateo Musachio, Gonzalo Rodríguez and Marco Ruben, who were joined from time to time by Alejandro Martinuccio and Gonzalo Castellani, although with little weight in the line-ups.
A decade later, the club seems to have a trio of regular Argentinian players and with a lot of weight in the team again, since the one made up of Gero Rulli, Juan Foyth and Gio Lo Celso are right now.
