Still
on the lawn of field 1 of the Landfill, Danilo did not hide the joy.
"I'm
not really believing. Do not expect to be chosen. I am very happy, thank you.
"
Already
Marcello believes that the goals were fundamental.
"I'm
attacking. And I did a lot of goals. I think that was the big reason for me to
be chosen, "he added.
For
coach Eduardo Gonçalves, the principal is the legacy.
"Our
project is primarily social. Here, the boys are developing and improving
techniques and performance on the field, as well as being educated. We know
that talent for football, Brazil has, but lacks much in the social sphere. We
train the boys to be professional, but first, here they will learn to become
men, "said Goncalves.
NIKE
CHANCE
Since
2010, more than 1,000 athletes around the world had the opportunity to present
itself definitely to professionalism. And the dream of being discovered became
reality for 19 of them, including Tom Rogic (Celtic Football Club / Australia
National Team) and David "Titi" Accam (Helsingborgs IF).
For
three days, the two chosen selection of the landfill will undergo a battery of
physical tests and technical high performance, in which 58 contestants will
have to overcome. Holders of the best results will be invited to join the Nike
Academy, specializing in soccer and gym located in the trendy St. Georges Park,
training center of the England squad. The winners will have the privilege of
staying for three months in 2014 in the same place where players like Rooney
and Theo Walcott prepare before the matches of the national team.
There,
the future stars will enjoy world-class facilities receiving elite training, a
partnership with the friendlies against Premier League will provide the basic
categories of teams from England, and guidance of trainers, nutritionists and
psychologists, as they progress the program. A golden chance to develop as
players, get noticed and win the dreamed professional contract.
