Career

Club career

Jorge Carrascosa, born in 1948 in the small town of Valentín Alsina in the province of Buenos Aires, began playing football at CA Banfield , not far from his birthplace. With Banfield he played for three years in the first and second Argentine soccer league before he received an offer from Rosario Central in 1969 .

This was followed by the move to Rosario Central for the 1970 season. A year later, in 1971, managed the team of coach Angel Labruna , once part of the famous Maquina of River Plate , winning the Argentine soccer championship after the Torneo Internacional in the final with 2: 1 against San Lorenzo de Almagro was victorious. This championship was the first ever in the club history of Rosario Central and was at the same time the beginning of a twenty-year successful period for the club, which was previously positioned closer to the relegation battle than to the championship race. Jorge Carrascosa stayed with Rosario Central until 1972 and made a total of 88 league games for the club, in which he scored three goals.

For the 1973 season, Carrascosa changed clubs and joined CA Huracán from Buenos Aires . At Huracán, a traditional, but also relatively unsuccessful, traditional club, Carrascosa was part of the club's famous team that won the only championship title to date under the aegis of César Luis Menotti . The team around players such as Carlos Babington , Miguel Brindisi or René Houseman took first place in the Torneo Metropolitano 1973, level on points with the Boca Juniors , but with the direct comparison won and secured the only championship of the current second division club to date. In addition to their successes, the Huracán team became known primarily for their offensive style of play, which was oriented towards the Argentinean football of the time, which was very much oriented towards the defensive strategies with which Estudiantes de La Plata and Independiente Avellaneda won the Copa Libertadores several times , and Huracán's team which made it extremely popular in the 1970s. After winning the title, however, coach Menotti said goodbye to the Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó and a year later became the Argentinian national coach. After the end of the Menotti era, CA Huracán's success went downhill again. It was not possible to build on the old successes. Jorge Carrascosa stayed with Huracán until 1979 and ended his football career in the year mentioned in the jersey of the Bonaren club. Between 1973 and 1979, the defender made a total of 287 league games for Huracán, but he was denied a goal.

National team

Between 1970 and 1977 Jorge Carrascosa made a total of thirty international matches in the Argentine national football team. He scored a goal. He was appointed to the South American squad for the 1974 World Cup in Germany by national coach Vladislao Cap . After Carrascosa was not even used in the preliminary round matches and also spent the first game of the second group phase on the bench, he made his first tournament appearance in the second game of the second group phase when he replaced Francisco Sá in the 46th minute of the game against Brazil , the 1: 2 defeat, combined with the now established departure of Argentina, could not prevent. Right from the start, Carrascosa played the final, meaningless game against the GDR, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

After the 1974 World Cup, Jorge Carrascosa played in the national jersey for three years, his last international match was in 1977. He was not considered for the 1978 World Cup in his own country because he was critical of the military junta that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983 and which at least around 50,000 people fell victim.
