Andrés D'Alessandro

Andrés Nicolás D'Alessandro (born 15 April 1981) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. Known as El Cabezón ("Big Head") for how large his big head looks on his small frame rather than any ego connotations, he won an Olympic gold medal with Argentina in 2004 and also played at that year's Copa América. In 2020, he was awarded Brazilian citizenship. D'Alessandro is regarded as one of Internacional's most notable players, alongside figures such as Falcão, Valdomiro, and Fernandão.[edit]
