Néstor Ortigoza

Néstor Ezequiel Ortigoza ( born October 7, 1984 in San Antonio de Padua ) is a Paraguayan football player.

Career

Born in Argentina since 2004 Ortigoza plays for Argentinos Juniors in the capital Buenos Aires in the Primera División, the highest Argentine league. Only in the Clausura 2005, he was loaned for six months at the then second division club Nueva Chicago CA, a neighborhood club in Buenos Aires. After his return, it was not until 2007 until the defensive midfielder has developed into regulars. In the Clausura 2010 he celebrated his first title when the Argentinos Juniors were able to win the championship after two titles in the 1980s for the first time.

Ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa and the Argentine national coach Diego Maradona interested in him and he was invited to a training camp, but then did not take place. Since the chances of a World Cup participation in the rapidly occupied the middle of the Argentines were low, acquired Néstor Ortigoza, whose father is from Paraguay, instead, in April 2009 the Paraguayan citizenship and entered October 10, 2009 in a World Cup qualifier against Venezuela for the first time Paraguay. Six times he came before the World Cup to use and then was also in the squad for the final tournament of Paraguay. In the preliminaries, he did not play, but in the second round against Japan, he still had his first world use and was in the starting lineup.
