Argentine goalkeepers have shown – and continue to show – that they have special leadership, and that they generally take ownership of the goal they are defending, with that competitive spirit that characterizes them.
However, in the world champion team there is barely room for a few, and that is why, having so much demand, some goalkeepers are tempted by other teams, especially Ecuador, which has taken a lot of advantage and to this day Today he continues to use that method. We review the five nationalized Argentine archers to put on the “Tri” sweatshirt in the 21st century.

Esteban Dreer from Mendoza made saves in Arsenal and Santamarina in Argentina. In 2009 he left Lithuania for Ecuador to play for Deportivo Cuenca, and then arrived at Emelec in 2012, a club in which he was a figure for seven years and four-time league champion. His performances led him to the team, in which he played in the Copa América twice, 2015 and 2016.
The “Polaco” Elizaga records 20 matches defending the three suits of the Tri, of which three were in the 2007 Copa América and one in the 2011 edition. In Argentina he played in Nueva Chicago, Lanús and Quilmes, then he arrived in Ecuador to perform in Emelec, a club in which he was considered the best goalkeeper in the country on several occasions.
He arrived in Ecuador in 2004 to play for Deportivo Cuenca, a club with which he became champion. In La Tri, he only saved two friendlies in 2007, but his presence on the list was marked.
The last precedent before the recent one had been that of Hernán Galíndez, who now saves in Huracán. He was a starter in Qatar 2022, no less. The man from Rosario came from Rosario Central, went through Quilmes, but most of his career was spent at the Catholic University of Quito, where he spent nine years, in addition to playing for Aucas.
Ecuador fell 2-0 to Italy last Sunday in a friendly played in the United States. Javier Burrai made his debut there, to complete this select list. Current symbol of Barcelona from Guayaquil, he had already been called up before this FIFA date, but had not made his debut. He is 33 years old. It's never too late.
