 DUSCHER is still a young and promising Argentinean midfielder and he could well develop himself into the successor of Mauro Silva. But the season 2004/2005 will be his fifth at the club and he might be called a veteran already. His best moments still have to come though.
It was Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon who took him to Europe at the age of 19, and he would play a big part in making them champions of Portugal in 2000. It made him being considered an enormous talent and he attracted the attention of several European top clubs. But in July of that year Deportivo eventually reached in their pockets to take him to Galicia.
But because of several injuries Irureta did not count on him for the season 2000/2001 and he only made his Liga debut in January against Valladolid. This also had to do with the fierce competition of players like Mauro Silva, César Sampaio and Emerson. He played just 5 Liga matches that campaign but improved this number to 21 the next campaign.
Only in the season 2002/2003 he started to prove his real worth and increased his Liga appearances to 31. Irureta started to believe in his capabilities and he was given sufficient minutes to demonstrate his skills. One of the best matches he played that season was in Italy against Juventus.
Most European viewers of football had a negative first experience with Duscher, as a rough tackle of him on David Beckham caused a media row and the British media portrayed him as some sort of animal. But Duscher kept his cool and not much looks able to disturb him. He resembles Mauro Silva a lot, and the Brazilian legend himself already has expressed his confidence in the capabilities of Duscher. Deportivo's midfield in the next seasons could become his domain.
