The Argentine artilleryman Juan Ignacio Dinenno, who is currently the figure of the Pumas of UNAM of Mexico, recalled his steps through Deportivo Cuenca (2017) and Barcelona Sporting Club (2018), in the era of Jose Francisco Cevallos.
"I arrived at Deportivo Cuenca in Ecuador where they trusted in the conditions of a boy who had not played for a year. Thanks to effort and dedication, I started scoring goals," commented the forward, who scored 21 goals - in 46 matches - for the Southern Express, on the program Futbol 360 from ESPN.
And with Barcelona, Dinenno revealed: "I joined Barcelona where I had a good year. In a very demanding club, I was not able to gain the team's trust. They were not financially well and they had to make an investment in the transfer, so they preferred not to do it."
At the end of 2018, in which he scored 17 goals - in 42 matches - and was confirmed by Uruguayan coach Guillermo Almada, he did not continue with the team because the Cevallos board decided not to exercise the buyout clause of his sports rights from Racing de Argentina, around $750,000.
On January 8, 2019, the Argentine scorer landed at Deportivo Cali and quickly began scoring goals. By the end of that year, he scored 28 goals and was in the sights of Sao Paulo in Brazil, according to Colombian media, but in the end, he was signed by the Pumas in 2020.
Now, after the global shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in LigaMX, Dinenno, at 26 years old, excelled to the maximum and scored 16 goals in 29 matches. Last Sunday, he scored a double to level the global score (4-4) against Cruz Azul, which allowed the auriazules to qualify for the playoff final, because they finished better placed in the table at the end of the regular phase (they were second and their rival finished in fourth place).
In the fight for the Mexican title, he will face Leon, in which the Ecuadorian Angel Mena shines. The first duel will be on Thursday, December 10 (22:00 in Ecuador) in the Mexican capital and the rematch on Sunday 13 (21:30) in the state of Guanajuato. (D)
