A few minutes ago some of my friends who are Argentina fans were talking about an Argentine left-back whose name is mateo franzotti. He is in Bayern Munich’s U23 youth team and is coached by Martin Demichelis. Anybody saw his highlights?
A complete waste of talent…. The first times I saw him play I was convinced he will be the next big thing like Alessandro Nesta, Franck de Boer, John Terry… But he never lives to the expectations….. Good luck Fabricio.
