Cuauhtemoc Blanco
trained for the first time with his new club -- the Tiburones Rojos of
Veracruz -- today in Mexico, completing an unusual move to a
second-division team for the former Fire star.
Under the terms of his new deal, Blanco will be with the club until March. After that he will join Mexico at a training camp to prepare for the World Cup in South Africa.
Blanco practiced with another new team member, forward Reynaldo Navia of Chile.
Blanco finished his three-year contract with the Fire by leading the team to last month's MLS Eastern Conference final.
