REAL MADRID SNAP UP 14 YEAR OLD
Real
Madrid have signed a 14-year-old Bolivian player to
their youth program.
The youngster's name is Ricardo Justiniano, who has been
coached by former national team defender Milton Melgar,
one of his biggest idols.
"The other one is David Beckham," he told Bolivian TV
sport show
Facetas Deportivas.
Justiniano, nicknamed 'Chino' (Chinese) and a fan of
Bolivian side Blooming, was born in Robore City and went
to live in Santa Cruz de las Sierras when he was eight.
Understandably he is delighted at the prospect of
joining the Spanish giants and is confident of settling
in as all the necessary planning has already been made.
"I dream of the possibility to play with Robinho in the
future," he said. "I admire him very much."
"My aunts will be waiting for me in Spain because I
don't know the city very well," added Justiniano, who
flies to Madrid on Wednesday morning (AEST).
"On Wednesday (Thursday AEST) I'm expected to train with
the Under-15 team of Real Madrid and I hope to do my
best."
"I already have a home in Madrid and know where I'll
study."
