Career

Román was the member of Paraguay U-20 National football team in 1997 FIFA U-20 World Cup Final.[1] On 28 November 1997, he signed a contract for more than a million dollars with the Beijing Guoan, making him the highest-paid player in China,[2] but he did not play well in China. He was sent out in the Asian Cup Winners Cup 1998 Semifinals, then he was loaned back to Paraguay for two seasons. Román returned to Beijing in 2000 but found it hard to play in the Chinese football league, then moved back to Paraguay in the summer.
