The Crónica cameras and the testimony of a child wearing the Sport Club Recife shirt, who arrived on the networks.
The economic crisis that the country is going through becomes even more eloquent when testimonies such as the one recorded by TV report these days, in a humble neighborhood, talking with his family and then with a 10-year-old boy with the dream of succeeding in football, who ended up going bankrupt complaining about the poverty he sees around him.
“I want to be like Maradona”the boy began in the fragment of the note in which he is seen playing a small game and bouncing a ball with his right foot.
“I would give my mother a home so that my family feels better and gets out of poverty,” said the boy shyly, when asked about the possibility of succeeding in sport to change his reality. And a moment later he added, “I wish God would take me out of here.”
“May all the dreams of all the children who are here come true. Those who are on the street should have a roof. I’m sorry for the street kids, because they have nothing to eat“The boy ended up saying, just before he burst into tears and received a hug from his mother, who was at his side.
The emotion of the interview was such that the notero ended up on the verge of tears, full of helplessness for what he had just heard. The video has been released Twitter by user @franpirovano, and within a few hours it reached a million views, collecting countless comments.
A girl who claimed to be his teacher declared herself proud of the testimony of the boy, who would be called Lautaro. “Proud of you is small,” he wrote.
And then he underlined: “Lautaro understands that football cannot only make him grow. But he knows that this is not the case, that he has other possibilities. He aspires to football because he’s 11 and that’s what he likes to do. It is because it encourages him to go to school and it is what makes him happy. He spends all day playing football, because that is his responsibility now, since he is doing well at school. “
The gesture of the Brazilian club
The extent of the gap was such that he ended up joining the Brazilian club Recife Sports Societywho expressed himself seeing that the boy curiously wears a shirt from that institute, not exactly one of the best known in football for the five-time world champion.
“Hello fans! This video went viral around here and we are trying to contact the child and his family so that all the red and black people can help in some way, “they wrote on Twitter.
Founded in May 1905 in the city of Recife in northeastern Brazil, the Sport is in the second division of local football and had its stellar moment in 1987, when he became national champion in a contest marked by controversy, and also in 2008, winning the Brazilian Cup after beating Corinthians in the final.
The gesture of Recife immediately struck the Argentine tweeters, who began to declare themselves fans of the “Lion of the island” (as they call it), recognizing the initiative promoted by them on the networks.
According to what was made known in this way, the bond between the Brazilian club and the boy was about to materialize, and surely this story will have a new chapter. A small smile in the midst of so much pain and postponement.
