LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
Fiorentina's fans already have a hero: the Peruvian Juan Vargas, who now has a day of its own in the calendar; from now on, November 13th will be known as "Day of Juan Vargas."
“It's very difficult to find someone like him, due to his strength, speed, accuracy and force,” says the Italian website firenzeviola.it, which also calls him “Superman” or “Bionic Man.”
While the Peruvian midfielder is making Fiorentina fans fall in love with him, he also says he feels comfortable there and that he does not consider moving to Real Madrid, as some reports suggested.
The Peruvian player is living the best moment of his career, although there are many who believe he will continue to grow.
