Playing career

Defederico is a fast, left-footed player with very good dribbling ability.

His professional debut for Huracán was on 18 August 2007 in a 0-0 home draw with Tigre. In the Clausura 2009 championship De Federico established himself as a regular first team player for the club under the management of Ángel Cappa. Defederico and teammate Javier Pastore formed part of an attacking formation that was described as fantastic by the Argentine press.[3] He was subsequently linked to Corinthians for $4 (US) million and was signed by them. Defederico had a weak performance with Corinthians, more specifically the directors of the club considering him physically weak. After many rumours, Andrés Sanchez, the Corinthians president, offered him to Independiente on loan for one year.[4]

International

On 20 May 2009 De Federico made his international debut in a friendly match against Panama. He scored the opening goal and assisted in the second goal in a 3-1 win for the Argentina team, made up of players based in the Primera División Argentina.[5]
