congrats to pereyra on his first senior call up
no doubt this will boost his confidence further and will translate into him becoming a very key figure for Juve
and please, lets stop with the vidal comparisons because to me its unfair to the player...rather, lets celebrate the fact that we snapped up another individual that can make telling contributions to the team effort as we battle and hope to succeed on ALL fronts...
forza el tucumano!

He played for a decent Serie A side, in a country there is several argies in. Also played youth footie for Argentina before, so for sure someone they knew about, but they just figured werent ready/good enough, but getting profile move to biggiest club in Italy generally raises your esteem so players tend to automatically get called up after that.
I think many of Pereyra's strengths show better in a better team. What I mean is that his technical ability and decision-making is on the same level as the better players so you can see him make interesting combinations and movements in attack. While at Udinese perhaps he couldn't show that part of his game because they were always trying to defend and counter or he only had one decent player to combine with in attack, that being Di Natale.
You would have to be watching Udinese's practices to get a really good sense of the player because you were never going to see Pereyra play in an environment where he has this much possession and attacking responsibility in an Udinese match.
I mean, in the context of the national team, at least now you can say to yourself that it's possible to see him combining with Messi, Aguero and Di Maria because he can actually play fast, one-touch, attacking football.
