Youth Soccer Training Anecdote
The story about the tryout is that
they were playing with a ball, you know?
And when that ball went out,
the River coach had another ball under his arm.
So he would take it in the middle of the field,
on the right, where Franco plays now for River,
and he would give the ball to Franco and tell him,
take them all on and finish it yourself.
Franco gets the ball in the middle of the field,
he catches the other team with their defense split, let's say, and he goes, beats one,
two, three, boom! He scores a great goal.
The River coach's eyes widened.
He already had the River coach as a sort of buddy, asking him for the ball
quickly to play fast.
Sure, exactly. And well, five minutes later he does the same thing again, you know?
A ball goes out, he blows his whistle,
"Take it, Franco, take them all on and finish it yourself," he tells him again.
And the kid grabs the ball, dribbles again, past two, three defenders, boom!
He buries it again.
And after that, the game was over,
they took a quick photo of him and took him off to Buenos Aires.

La anécdota de la prueba es que se estaba jugando con una pelota, viste? Y cuando esa pelota se iba para afuera, el profe de River tenía otra pelota en el brazo. Entonces agarraba en la mitad de la cancha,
por la derecha, por donde juega ahora Franco en River, y le daba a la pelota a Franco y le decía, encarala a todos y terminala vos. Agarra la pelota a Franco en la mitad de la cancha, justo agarra al otro equipo con la defensa partida, digamos, y agarra, mete a uno,
a dos, tres, plum! Le da un golazo. Ya al profe de River se le abrieron los ojos. Al profe de River ya medio que lo tenía ahí de compinche pidiéndole la pelota rápido para jugar rápido. Claro, tal cual. Y bueno, a los cinco minutos vuelve a hacer lo mismo, viste?
Se ve una pelota afuera, mete un silbatazo, toma a Franco, encarala a todos y terminala vos, le dice de vuelta. Y el loco agarra la pelota, gambetea de vuelta, dos, tres defensores, plum! La clava de vuelta. Y después de ahí ya terminó el partido,
le sacaron una fotito y ya se lo llevaron para Buenos Aires.
