Even at that age he debuted in the first team, that was champion of the local tournament. Immediately was seen by a businessman called Epifanio Rojas, who took him to Tembetary, by then playing in the Second Division. He made his professional debut in 1998, at age 16.
Europe and serious injury
That same year was transferred to Serie A team A.S. Roma, where he was six months until he suffered a torn ligament in his knee, after a strong collision with teammate Cafu, during a training session.
Centurión was loaned to Udinese, where he underwent surgery.[1] After that, he was sent to Germany to continue his rehabilitation, which once completed, it allowed him to return to the Italian football.
