BUENOS AIRES， Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- Striker Lucas Alario， a goalscorer for Argentine club River Plate will turn down a lucrative offer to play in China， the team's coach announced on Thursday.
Speaking to the local press， River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo said that he believed Alario "will not take the decision to go play in an alternative market from a football perspective" and that "while the economics are important， his head and his mentality are ready for something else."
The club's technical secretary， Enzo Francescoli said that "Lucas already said he wants to stay" but added that "like most players， he has an exit clause， (and) this depends on him."
"With his age (24) and the level he has， sooner or later he will go play in Europe， with a more glorious club and a higher sports level，" added the secretary.
Alario's agent， Pedro Aldave， revealed on Tuesday that an unnamed Chinese club was willing to pay the striker's exit clause， set at over 19 million U.S. dollars.
"There is a very important written offer from a Chinese club that we are considering，" said Aldave.
Alario is seen as a crucial player for River Plate， which will seek to win the Copa Libertadores this year， a title it last won in 2015.

MELBOURNE puma rihanna creeper beige , March 19 (Xinhua) -- Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have affirmed themselves as hot favorites ahead of Sunday's Australian Formula 1 (F1) Grand Prix, after they blitzed the field in qualifying to secure pole and second heading into the first race of the season.
After what could only be described as a farcical start to the new qualifying format, the two Mercedes cars flexed their muscle securing the front row of the grid, confirming pre-season predictions the team would be the one to beat throughout 2016.
Hamilton puma rihanna bianche e oro , during the third round of qualifying, even smashed the lap record at Melbourne (posting a 1:23.837), something which has sent a clear message to the rest of the field.

Both Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen reported extremely quick cars during testing in Barcelona puma rihanna tutte bianche , and it will be evident on Sunday when they line up in 3rd and 4th on the grid.

As expected puma rihanna creeper bianche , both he and stablemate Daniil Kvyat will start well off the pace of the race favorites; Kvyat even fell victim to the new qualifying format and was eliminated in the first round, qualifying in 18th.

Despite the confusion of the format, the Mercedes teams weren't threatened by it - proving their dominance is likely to continue puma rihanna creeper rosa , with Hamilton and Rosberg still looking streets ahead of their closest rivals.

Teammate Rosberg said a Mercedes win in Melbourne was likely if both he and Hamilton could stay on the track on Sunday.
"We seem to be the quickest out there and by a good margin. The risk is that we become complacent, but I hope we'll be able to push through," Rosberg told the press.
Meanwhile third-placed Vettel said the result in qualifying reflected the pre-season expectations, but said on race day puma rihanna creeper suede italia , it could be a different story.
"We've made a step forward and I think tomorrow we should be a lot closer," Vettel said, "We expected Mercedes to be stronger in qualifying."
