A little background on Camo stolen from the Arg forum at Xtratime...
===
I HAVE to see both Saviola's and Camoranesi's goal today in the news.....
Anyway, could someone tell me about this guy Camoranesi? I never heard of him and all of a sudden he is playing for Juve in the CL?

well, mauro camoranesi s story is not quite a common one.
he strated playing for Banfield, a southern club of Buenos Aires, but he never played in the first division, just in the second. after that, he went to mexico (i cant remember wich club) and after that he went to Hellas Verona of italy. there he had a great year, thats why juve had to payed around 8 million to get him (to replace zambrotta who is injured).
good to see him playing as a starter in a great team like juve.

That's right Batigold, Camoranesi's career has been somewhat unusual. I was listening to a commentator in Argentina talking about him a couple of months ago, he was praising Camoranesi for his footballing abilities and he also described him as a 'late bloomer' He wasn't excatly overly impressive when he was in Argentina but improved somewhat when he moved to Mexico. In Mexico he played for Cruz Azul.
He did enough to get well noticed by Verona and he certainly made a huge impact at Verona where he performed really very well. Juventus saw the talent in him and purchased him. He had a successful pre-season at Juventus and has established himself as a starter where he played very well in Juventus's first Serie A match of the season against Atalanta and in yesterday's away draw to Feyenoord where he scored a fantastic goal.
Camoranesi is an excellent player. He works very hard, has good movement and passing ability and he can score goals. If any one of u go to the Juventus forum, he is being well praised there, especially for improving the right side of Juventus's midfield.
He'll turn 26 soon, so he's still quite young. I understand that Bielsa is keeping a close eye on him and I have heard that it is likely that he will be called up to the NT.

I saw Juve's match and the commentary was saying that Camo will be in Arg future list according to his performance in Serie A first match in this CL match.
