Enzo Francescoli Uriarte ((:ˈenso fɾansesˈkoli uˈɾjarte); ; born 12 November 1961 in Montevideo) is a former Uruguayan football player. Francescoli was nicknamed ''El Príncipe'' ("The Prince" in ''Spanish'') or ''Le Prince'' (in ''French''). He played 73 times for the Uruguay national team between 1982 and his retirement in 1997, making him the most capped outfield player in Uruguayan international football at the time.〔("Enzo Francescoli – International Appearances" ). ''RSSSF''. Retrieved 4 July 2012.〕 He is regarded as one of the greatest players of Uruguay, perhaps the greatest to have never played for the two biggest clubs in the country. He was known for his classic and elegant style, like El Príncipe, in reference to Hannibal Ciocca, a former Uruguayan player from the 1930s and 40. He later was the only Uruguayan included by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list, and was chosen by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics as the sixth greatest player of his country and 24th of South America in the Twentieth Century. An attacking midfielder, he was considered an elite playmaker in a decadent period for the ''Celeste''. With the Uruguay national football team, he participated in two World Cups, in 1986 and 1990, where Uruguay were defeated in the round of 16 on both occasions (against South American rivals and eventual champions Argentina, and hosts and semi-finalists Italy, respectively), after qualifying for the second round, in both cases, as one of the best third-placed teams in the first round. In his later career, Uruguay failed to qualify for the world cups of 1994 and 1998. Altogether, he played in eight World Cup matches, winning only one - against the then very inexperienced South Korea, and only 1 - 0.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=RSSSF )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=RSSSF )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=RSSSF )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=RSSSF )〕 One of his greatest triumphs, while wearing the Celeste jersey, was saving the team in the 1989 Copa América. Francescoli played in four of the five games, winning three of those, and helped Uruguay to reach the final round with his performances, losing only to Brazil, who had the home field advantage. The Uruguayan team placed second overall in the tournament, with Francescoli scoring the first and last goals for the ''Celeste''.〔 Francescoli admired his rival Argentina, where he felt more appreciated than in his own homeland, where none of his three titles were much celebrated. In neighbouring Argentina, where he now lives, he played for the club River Plate, being one of the biggest fans of the club, with whom he played for many years; he was the leading scorer and a key player for the club's second Copa Libertadores triumph, and also won a total of five Argentine titles in the six years in which he served for the team. He later enjoyed success with two teams while playing in France, despite the bad results of Racing Paris and its ephemeral passage by another, Olympique de Marseille.〔PERUGINO, Elías (novembro de 2010).

He played several years for River Plate of Argentina where he won five league titles and the Copa Libertadores in 1996 in his two spells with the club. He also played for the French RC Paris (''Matra Racing Paris'' at then time), Olympique de Marseille, and the Italian teams Cagliari and Torino. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enzo Francescoli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
