In the end, we see that it pays off and that he is part of the team’s executives despite his young age. He is starting to make his mark and has matured. He is making a name for himself in our squad. We see that he is having an excellent tournament. He must continue like this. And we, the executives, we must ensure that it continues to progress, ”adds this one.

For the coach, the footballer has not finished surprising. ” He has enormous qualities. I think he still has a lot of room for improvement. Afterwards, it’s the work, it’s the will, the passion. He is supported by his parents and family. It is important. I wish him all the happiness in this sport “, smiles Teva Zaveroni who also says that he understands that his player continues to play eleven-a-side football: “ We don’t really have a big beach soccer championship. That’s what we need if we really want to get this title of World Champions. But I remain confident. I am convinced that our young people have the qualities. It is especially necessary to supervise them well and to structure the organization ».
If they win their ticket for the 22nd World Cup in a few hours, it is in Dubai, in November, that the Tiki Toa will compete against the biggest teams on the planet.
