Hasta El Gol Siempre 
Ibáñez has lost his hands… He’s gone from high point to getting a local seleccion call-up to losing his starting 11 spot to being completely unable to handle balls. But, there was always signs of his poor handling skills, most of it was masked by tighter defense and fairly quick reflex and diving during the Clausura ’10 campaign.
Now just to think how much better the Apertura could of been if Torrico was in sooner.
Or someone teaches him to parry every ball he sees ala ‘Ochoa.
