Just before heading to South Africa for the FIFA 2010 World Cup, the youngster Argentine midfielder JAVIER PASTORE bought himself an exclusive wristwatch by CONCORD. This purchase makes three luxury watch brands so far identified in the Argentina National Football Team. Priorly, we know that the head coach Diego Maradona wears Hublot Big Bang Special Edition Watch and the striker – as well as the most expensive player at the World Cup 2010 – Lionel Messi sports an Audemars Piguet watch.
Just about to turn 21 at the World Cup finals (born June 20, 1989), Javier Matías Pastore is one of the players that have earned a place in Diego Maradona’s squad without having made a single appearance in qualifying. Shockingly, he ruled out veteran midfielders such as Javier Zanetti and Esteban Cambiasso. He owes his inclusion, however, to his string of outstanding performance in his first season at Italian Serie A level with U.S. Città di Palermo.
Javier Pastore began his professional in CA Talleres, the team he was always a fan of, in his hometown of Cordoba. Friends and family recall a peculiar talent, they say he has a gift to imitate personalities. Actually, he developed his particular playing style by watching a popular nineties kids TV show called “cebollitas”. During 2008, Pastore played for Huracán of the Argentine Primera on loan in which he ended up a the team’s top scorer with 7 goals and 3 assists to help the Globo side finished as the runners-up in the 2009 Clausura.
In 2009, Pastore joined the Italian team PALERMO FC with the transfer fee being about $8 million. Before his move to Palermo, the player was also linked to number of other top European clubs, including Manchester United, FC Porto, Milan and Chelsea. He made a very impressive performance during his first season at Serie A which earned him an international cap. His breakthrough game was in October 4th against Juventus when he made assist in a 2-0 win, appearing in all the websites and national newspapers.. His first game was on January 30, 2010 when defeating Bari 2-4 away. Under the tutelage of Rossi, JAVIER PASTORE established himself as a regular, playing usually in trequartista role, which helped Palermo climbed the league table up to fourth place in March 2010. He was all praised by fans and pundits.
