Uruguay international Rodriguez - nicknamed 'Ceballo', which translates to 'Onion' - headed to South America last week having terminated a temporary switch to financially
troubled Parma early. And, following a publicity stunt staged by his new club, official restaurant Hamburgueria 1903 has experienced a swell in demand for the popular greasy snack - renamed
Ceballo Rodriguez to mark the 29-year-old's arrival. "We have never experienced anything like this," Carlos Alberto Carvalho of the club's marketing department told
_ESPN Brasil._ You may like "This is partly due to what we did with his name in the presentation, and that invited members and reporters [were] handed boxes of the onions." Gremio
are also reported to be dishing out larger portions following the capture of Rodriguez, while #eusoqueromaiscebola ('I just want more onion') has become a popular hashtag on
Twitter. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.
