Career

society

Leonardo Rodríguez began his career in the youth of CA Lanús before joining the professional team in 1984. There Rodríguez completed four seasons, including in the second-rate Primera B Nacional . In 1988 he switched to the first division club CA Vélez Sársfield . Even though he completed 27 league games in the 1988/89 season and was thus able to establish himself as a regular player, Rodríguez moved to the Argentinos Juniors for the following season . With the Juniors, however, he was only under contract for one year, in the 1990/91 season he moved to league rivals CA San Lorenzo de Almagro . As in the years before, Rodríguez always had to be content with a place in the middle of the table at the end of the season.

In the summer of 1991 he finally moved to Europe , to the French club Sporting Toulon . Although Rodríguez was only used from the 9th match day, he was able to establish himself quickly in Ligue 1 . He scored once in every game from 11th to 15th matchday and on January 18, 1992 he got all four goals (including three penalties) in a 4-2 home win over the later bottom AS Nancy . After twelve goals from 27 games, the Italian first division club Atalanta Bergamo noticed him and signed him in July 1992. However, Rodriguez could not prove his scoring risk in Italy, only on matchday 13 he scored a goal in a 1-1 draw against Brescia Calcio in December 1992. After he was only used once in the first half of the 1993/94 season, Rodriguez moved to Borussia Dortmund in January 1994 . But even in Dortmund he could not really gain a foothold, by the end of the season he was only used six times in the Bundesliga, the 3-0 defeat against Dynamo Dresden was the only game he played through for a full 90 minutes. There is also a UEFA Cup game against Inter Milan (1: 3), where he assisted Michael Schulz to make it 1: 2 .

In July 1995 he returned to South America and moved to the Chilean club CF Universidad de Chile . Already in the first season he won the championship there. In the 1995 and 1996 seasons he showed himself to be as accurate as usual for a midfielder with ten goals from 35 league games and he also scored three times in twelve goals at the 1996 Copa Libertadores before being beaten by the CA River Plate from Argentina in the semifinals had to. He spent 1997 and 1998 in Mexico at Club América . There he completed 48 league games in which he was able to mark six hits. In 1998 Rodriguez moved back to the CF Universidad de Chile and celebrated winning the Copa Chile that same year . The following year the team repeated the title win from 1995 and at the turn of the millennium Universidad de Chile won the double, i. H. Primera División and Copa Chile. After three successful years in Chile, he returned to his home country Argentina, to a club he had played for in the past, the CA San Lorenzo de Almagro . He was also successful with the club from Buenos Aires , including winning the Copa Mercosur in 2001 after two finals against Flamengo Rio de Janeiro on penalties. The culmination of his club career was finally the final victory in the Copa Sudamericana 2002 against the Colombian representative Atlético Nacional (4-0 agg.). In 2002 Rodríguez let his career end with his youth club CA Lanús. He made eleven league appearances and two goals before ending his active career in December 2002.
