Posted on 13/09/2009

The aspiring lawyer represented Argentina during the Homeless World Cup in 2009. During a brief interview with the 21 year old player he spoke about the 3 most valuable lessons he learned in Milan.




 

1) Respect inside and outside the field
    -To greet the rivals and congratulate them even if they lose.
    - Never say bad words, even in moments of anger or stress.

2) To Score...the difference
    - Fair play during every match.
    -The Homeless World Cup is about bringing out the best of the players through football.

3) To play for fun
    - Either you win or lose.
