From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jorge Catalino Guasch Bazán (born January 17, 1961 in Itá, Paraguay) is a former football midfielder.

Nicknamed "El Chino" (the Chinese), Guasch started his career at the small regional club Guaraní de Davaru of the city of Carapeguá, in 1975. Scouts from Club Olimpia noticed his talent and one year later, in 1976, he was already playing in the Paraguayan first division. Guasch became Olimpia's captain in 1988 and he would remain in the club until his retirement in 1991, winning several national and international championships. He is regarded as one of the club's most important players.

At the national team level, Guasch was part of the Paraguay squad at the 1986 World Cup and also competed in several Copa América tournament editions.
