Family Sacrifice in Sports Journey
The candies remained because of his grandfather, who liked them.
When he took him to practice, my dad would leave him some coins so he could buy
chewy candies at the snack bar.
For many years, Rodrigo never knew that those coins he gave him were the coins
for the trip.
My dad would walk back home and give him those coins so he could buy
the candies when he went to practice.
To him, it remained as a special gesture, like a special sacrifice his grandfather made
and his grandfather could never see him debut in the first division, because my dad passed away in
2009, nor did he see him in the national team either.
Wherever he is, he sees him.

Original transcript (Spanish)
Los caramelos quedaron por el abuelo, que le gustan. Cuando lo llevaba a entrenar, mi papá le dejaba unas monedas para que él se compre en el buffer los caramelos masticables. Durante muchos años, Rodrigo nunca supo que esas monedas que le daba a él eran las monedas del viaje.
Mi papá se volvía a la casa caminando y le daba esas monedas para que él se compre los caramelos cuando iba a entrenar. A él le quedó como un gesto especial, como un sacrificio especial que hacía su abuelo y que el abuelo nunca lo pudo ver debutar en primera, porque mi papá falleció en el 2009, ni lo vio en la selección tampoco.
Desde donde esté, lo ve.
