Argentine Forward Cristian Pavon sets sights on return to national team

Buenos Aires: Forward Cristian Pavon has expressed hope that his move to Brazilian giants Atletico Mineiro will pave the way for his return to Argentina's national team.

Pavon made the comments as he faced Brazil's media for the first time since joining the reigning Brazilian Serie A champions on a free transfer from Boca Juniors.

"I will try to do my best here at Atletico and demonstrate in each match what I'm capable of," the 26-year-old told reporters.

"If the national team comes calling, that will be great. I always dream [of representing the Albiceleste] and I think coming to Atletico could be a step in the right direction to getting back into the international fold."

Pavon has not played since January, having been left out of Boca's first-team squad since making clear his desire to leave the Bombonera.

Even so, the former Los Angeles Galaxy attacker is confident he can quickly recapture his best form.
