My Take

Juan Manuel Vargas is exactly my kind of footballer, the marauding left-sided runner who treats the touchline as a personal racetrack. From Lima and Universitario to a long European run at Catania, Genoa and Fiorentina, he carried a distinctly South American swagger into Serie A, and that thunderbolt left foot announced him on the biggest stages. He gave the same to Peru's national team. What moves me, though, is the shape of his career: he left home to conquer abroad and then returned to finish where he began, at Universitario. Going out into the world and coming home to close the circle feels like a man's idea of a proper ending.
