Iván Gonzalo Bella (born 13 September 1989) is an Argentine football winger who plays for Puebla F.C. in the Liga Bancomer MX.
Club career
Bella made his league debut for Vélez Sársfield on a 0–0 draw against Independiente on 8 June 2008, during the penultimate fixture of that year's Clausura tournament.[1] In 2009, the Argentine winger won with Vélez the 2009 Clausura, though only playing one game (against River Plate on the sixth fixture).[2]
Bella played 13 games in Vélez' 2010 Apertura runner-up campaign,[3] mainly replacing Augusto Fernández on the right wing when the former was injured. However, coach Ricardo Gareca also used him as a left back to replace injured Emiliano Papa on the last fixtures of the tournament. Bella improved his goal-scoring ability in the first semester of 2012, scoring five times in 18 games between the 2012 Clausura and Copa Libertadores.
Upon Augusto Fernández's departure from Vélez, Bella became a regular starter for Vélez and played 15 games (scoring once) in the team's 2012 Inicial title-winning campaign.[4]
International career
In January 2009, Bella played the South American Youth Championship with the Argentine under-20 national team. In 2012, Bella was called by coach Alejandro Sabella for a senior national team formed solely by local league players.
