Giovanni Zarfino es uno de los centrocampistas más en forma de La Liga Smartbank, pero su carrera no ha sido precisamente »un camino de rosas».
¿Quién es »Gio» Zarfino?
Jorge Giovanni Zarfino-Calandria nace en 1991 en Montevideo, en el seno de una familia obrera. De »pibe» comienza a jugar a fútbol, sin dejar a un lado el aspecto académico, en el que destacaba. Lo hizo en el Club Rocha, donde inició esta linda’ andadura.
En el 2011, recién terminada su adolescencia, dio el salto al fútbol profesional, fichando por Boston River. Por aquel entonces, la escuadra de Montevideo militaba en la Segunda División de Uruguay. No le costó mucho aclimatarse a la categoría, y se convirtió en imprescindible en los esquemas de Fernando Helo desde el primer entrenamiento.
Tras cuatro maravillosas temporadas en el conjunto del barrio Bolívar, el aguerrido centrocampista se comprometió con el Danubio FC, también de Montevideo, que competía en la máxima competición del país sudamericano. En su nuevo club, más de lo mismo: su mentalidad de hierro hizo que el escudo del cuatro veces campeón del país no le pesara, y pronto se adueñó de la medular de Los Jardines del Hipódromo. La gran labor de »el chino» en su país no sería en vano, y pronto recibió llamadas de conjuntos de toda Europa. Finalmente, pondría rumbo a España, de la mano de la UD Extremadura.
Las intrahistorias de »Gio» Zarfino: el fútbol como salvación
Zarfino, al igual que otros futbolistas sudamericanos que emigran a Europa, no tuvo una infancia fácil. Pese a no sufrir problemas familiares, el entorno en el que creció suponía un riesgo para su carrera.
Giovanni se crió en el barrio de Las Acacias, uno de los más peligrosos de la capital de Uruguay. Allí, la escasez económica provoca que la violencia, las drogas y los robos sean en ocasiones la única forma de sobrevivir. Por suerte, el prometedor pelotero supo ser fuerte. A pesar de meterse en alguna que otra pelea cuando era un adolescente y vivir escenas trágicas como el apuñalamiento de uno de sus amigos, salió a flote. Su pasión por el fútbol le hizo dejar la calle y alejarse del suburbio donde sus seres queridos siguen viviendo.
Gio Zarfino en Extremadura, de desconocido a héroe
Zarfino llegó a España como un completo desconocido. Al fin y al cabo, vienes de la liga uruguaya, y sería raro que a un señor de Almendralejo al que le gusta tomarse »la cañita» viendo el fútbol le sonase siquiera tu nombre. Con la maleta bajo el brazo y el pasaporte aún en la mano, el »pitbull» charrúa se plantó en Extremadura, dispuesto a dejar bien marcada en el barro su huella.
Para ello, repitió esa fórmula mágica que tantas alegrías le había dado en su tierra: trabajo y regularidad. ¿El resultado? Un ascenso a Segunda División en su primer año en el país. No fue fácil, pues para conseguirlo, los de Juan Sabas tuvieron que superar tres eliminatorias del Playoff de Ascenso. Durante la segunda, la figura de Giovanni Zarfino se erigió sobre la del resto. Con un tanto en cada mitad en Anduva, logró tumbar al Mirandés y condujo a los azulgranas a la eliminatoria final. El Cartagena sería el último escollo en el camino hacia La Liga Smartbank. Tras dos encuentros muy igualados, donde la tensión alcanzó niveles extremos, la UD Extremadura dejó en el dique seco al »Efesé» y 15 años después regresó, por fin, al fútbol profesional.

La triste despedida de Gio Zarfino
La campaña siguiente, con »el chino» ya como gran capitán, el Extremadura cumplió el objetivo de la salvación. Sin embargo, no sería capaz de repetir esa hazaña al año próximo. De esta forma, se hacía añicos el sueño de un pueblo. El mejor Extremadura de las dos últimas décadas se hundía, y su timonel decidió abandonar el barco.
El gladiador charrúa debía decir adiós a Almendralejo para emprender nuevos retos, para continuar trepando esa cuerda de cáñamo que le lleve a La Liga Santander. »Gio», dolido por dejar atrás su segunda casa, nadó a contracorriente para no sumergirse en la 2B, avistando a lo lejos tierra firme. Era la isla de Tenerife, un lugar idóneo para tripular un nuevo buque, esta vez pintado de azul y blanco. Una nueva oportunidad de seguir demostrando esa garra uruguaya en la categoría de plata del fútbol español.

¿Cómo juega Gio Zarfino?
Este uruguayo con cara de »mala leche» ha destacado siempre por su gran capacidad para robar balones, así como por una agresividad que en ocasiones le perjudica (69 tarjetas amarillas y 9 rojas desde 2011). Aunque no es el más alto dentro de la cancha, es un martillo en el juego aéreo, tanto defensiva como ofensivamente. Por esta razón, se ha venido desenvolviendo toda su carrera en la posición de mediocentro de corte defensivo, ya sea como único »stopper» o acompañado de un jugador más técnico en un doble pivote, realizando este el trabajo sucio.
Sin embargo, el uruguayo parece haberse cansado de actuar en la sombra, y ha ido evolucionando hasta convertirse en un »box to box», adquiriendo un gran protagonismo en área rival. Durante estas temporadas en La Liga Smartbank, ha logrado ver puerta en 17 ocasiones, la última el fin de semana pasado frente al Sporting de Gijón. Esta reconversión le abre un amplio abanico de posibilidades al nuevo técnico de los »chicharreros», Fran Fernández, ya que podrá utilizarlo tanto en el doble pivote como en la segunda punta, siendo así una amenaza constante para los zagueros rivales.
