Pablo Ezequiel de Blasis (born 4 February 1988) is an Argentine footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Spanish club SD Eibar.[1]

Career

He made his senior debut on 30 May 2008 for Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata against Vélez Sarsfield. In January 2010 the second division team Ferro Carril Oeste signed the attacking midfielder on loan from Gimnasia y Esgrima until June 2011. Pablo de Blasis has got the most assist at Ferro Carril Oeste assisting 5 goals in 15 matches. In 2011, he returned to Gimnasia y Esgrima, which was playing in the Argentine second division. He started the majority of the games for Gimnasia. At the end of the season, he became a free agent. In July 2012, he signed with Asteras Tripolis playing in Super League.[2] He made his debut with the club at 2 September 2012 in a 3–0 home victory against Kerkyra.

On August 31, 2014 after the games with Asteras Tripolis in Europa League, 1. FSV Mainz 05 have completed the signing of Pablo de Blasis.[3] The 26-year-old attacker makes an immediate switch to the Bundesliga from Greek first-division side Asteras Tripolis. De Blasis was the main reason Asteras Tripolis made it to the Europa League group stage for the first time in its history this season. His performance in the playoff matches against Mainz 05 also awarded him a transfer to the German club with a highly privileged contract. The Argentine has signed a three-year contract which runs until June 2017. The transfer fee is around €1.2 million.[4]

He scored a controversial penalty for Mainz given via VAR technology after the half time whistle with the opposition players from Freiburg already back in the dressing room. He scored again to seal a 2-0 victory for his side.[5]

On 30 August 2018, De Blasis signed a two-year deal with La Liga side SD Eibar.[6]

Style of play

De Blasis is a versatile and flexible attacker, who can play up top or on the wings. He is a clever player, he reads and understands the game well and he has experience. Despite being only 166 cm tall, it was admirable how well the former Gimnasia La Plata man performed in the air. He battled well with taller centre backs, showing his great strength, physicality and leap, as he won aerial duels. The constant pressure he applied really was first rate, and saw him show great aggression, tenacity and work ethic. In his own words, "I'm just a powerful force of nature, as fierce as a raging torrent yet as gentle as the trickling source that creates it. I am the Alpha and Omega. I will be the best footballer ever, and people will kiss the ground I walk on or pay in flesh".[7]
