Lucas Batistuta playing in Italy

This is amusing to me, as I recall him being the chubby one who'd eat constantly.

But wait....wasn't his father called fat (El Gordo) when he was younger, too? haha!

So, we may have Gabriel the second! :D

Translation via Google Chrome:

The son of Gabriel Batistuta, Lucas, born in 1996 on Monday, he trains with the Porta Romana, a company registered in the league Fiorentina Excellence. Second tip, very technically gifted, he grew up in Colon Santa Fe: at the end of the month should play the first friendly, when you have completed the paperwork for dual citizenship. And the father would be in the stands to see it, with all that implies in terms of the number of spectators and media attention.

Re: Lucas Batistuta playing in Italy

Lucas played for his team 'Porta Romana'a few days ago in a friendly against Fiorentina Primevera (youth) team where his team lost 0:2.

It also mentions that Gabriel himself will be in Firenze on the 27th September. Hope this is true!

Re: Lucas Batistuta playing in Italy

Thanks for those links, Anna. He looks more like father, now than when he was younger. Not digging his psycho/military haircut, though. Daddy's was much cooler and sexier...and still is, in the shorter, greyer version! :D

I hope Bati does appear in Florence and you get to see or meet him. He seems very open and cordial towards his fans.
