“Messi donated us a chair, Di María helped us a lot and even (Leonardo) Ponzio was wonderful with us. When we started, 10 years ago, Ezequiel González donated four chairs for Rosario Central, and they were worth a lot of money,” added Segarelli.

“A great job was done in a decade in terms of the recruitment of athletes, with the limitations that we have at the structure level. From access to places to transportation. And we fix the facilities privately. We’re doing pretty well, We are growing, but it is difficult for us to find places to train. We have to resolve that and make it a State policy,” he said.
