Marco Gastón Ruben Rodríguez
Marco Ruben attacks space and drags centre-backs out of position, finishing moves with quick strikes. Marco Ruben returned to Rosario Central in 2014, blossomed with 21 goals in 2015, and was named Argentina Footballer of the Year. He thrives in high-press systems. His European spell with Villarreal, Dynamo Kyiv, and Evian TG shaped a finishing profile as a classic poacher. A turning point came with a loan to Athletico Paranaense in 2019, where he won the Copa do Brasil. Later, he resumed impact at Rosario Central as a center-forward providing hold-up play and target presence. Marco Ruben anchors the attack, linking play with one-touch layoffs and attacking space. He finishes moves with decisive headers and gets shots off quickly.
