Zarate from Arabia to Lazio:
Zarate completed his surprising move to Qatari club al-Sadd from velez in argentina for a huge amount of 20 million USD last summer.
The move was undoubtly surprising not to al-Sadd's fans only but to all the followers of the football transfer market due to many reasons. First, the huge amount of the transfer for the youngster which was a record number in arabia. Second and more impotant the direction of the move! it was the first transfer for a young argentina top league player right after being topscorer in the league to the arabian area rather than the usual direction towards the european continent. But all of this can be explained by the fact that the qatari management were thinking of the player as an investment, which is true as they gave the players card to Lazio for 18 million Euros.
Al-Sadd's fans were expecting a lot from "Nuclear Zarate" after his performance in U-21 world cup and the argentina league.The U-21 world cup winner needed sometime to show his quality, something which the trophy-hungery fans were unable to give.So the fans asked the management to send the player back and refund the money as he was unable to give 1/4th of his world cup performance.
Mauro himself explains this experience to be due to the fact that he was tired from the perviouse season, and his arrival to Arabia was late as the group had already started training and he could not mix in with the group, plus the fact that he was unable to get used to the atmosphere and weather there.
So the player moved to England and he showed some of his value over there, which made al-Sadd's fans to change their opinion about the player and describe him as an excellent player who does not fit into the Qatari league due to the same reasons Zarate himself gave, the environment and language.
Lazio arab fans were really happy with the argentina player move to Lazio, and they are expecting a lot from the fast, strong and talented attacker up in front to help the capital giants back to their natural place the upper 1/4th of the league table.
Some of the fans are worried that the media will draw too much attention towards the attacker that may make unable to get to the expected level.
We all wish Zarate all the best luck in SS Lazio.
