I know Maria: How do they know what football is and how we got here?

What did you do Monday? I went to practice! What did you do Tuesday? I went to practice. What did you do Wednesday, Thursday and Friday? I went to practice. Do something on weekends? I can't.

About 500 words. A long message in Instagram and special dedication. Football broadcasts Periscope.

It's all held by Angel Di Maria. El Fideo, the macaroni, because it was thin and weak.

One since he was a kid was bought at 6 years old by Rosario Central for 26 balls... A poor childhood and the soccer world today a reality. Between sacrifices, pain and joy.

“The training is finished, on foot, with the bag under the arm, and it stops for a moment and fixes the field, the prow, the stones, the grass, where we play. That land and those stones where we once fell and scratched our knees, our elbows, our hands. That land and those stones that were bothering us while we were playing, that land that made us all the house and heard our mother say: “Put your shoes out and wash quickly!”

And the message follows, long and intense.

What gives us strength every year to start the championship? We like to sleep on Sunday “That's what everyone says. “It's better football with five players”, friends say. “We're never together”, your girlfriend tells you. “Think about studying and working”, family says.

“TTE reflects and smiles. How do they know what football means to you? How do they know how much nerve and tension you have in front of a fight and you can't sleep? How do they know how many games you've played with pain and injury? How do they know what happens when they score and their teammates hug you in despair? How do they know how many times you ran to follow the bus or walk the last five blocks to get to the exercise late? How do they know the anxiety when the coach is in formation? How do they know what preparation is like when your friends are all on vacation and have fun?

How do they know what it means to be with people who mark your life, friends of laughter and tears each day? How do they know how much rain fell on you while you were training? Earth, rocks and grass! Ten people with you, 11 on the other side, one ball and the whistle”.

This is our life, but where do they know this thing?”

A lot of people say football has nothing to do with life. I don't know how much they know about life. But, on football, they don't know anything. /Periscope. com/
