ITALIAN ENTRY: BRASILE; I GOOL

This story is about Joao, a 17 year old boy who lives in Copacabana where life is really brutal and scary. During the year, the best soccer players played in teames that play on the Copacabana beaches and the most talented ones were called to play in professional teams. Everybody thought Joao was a great soccer player and the voices spread out around the country. One day a scout from the professional Brasilian team, came to watch Joao play, and understand if he played really well as people said. During the game Joao played superbly but he didn't think it was enough to make the scout remain amazed. So he tryed to make a back flip jumping over the goalie. He was able to do it but unortunately the goalie fauled him hardly and made him fall. He broke his leg! As he got to the hospital, Vittorio Zucconi the narrator, couldn't understand why Joao was so happy if probably he wouldn't be able to play in the Brasil, but the reason was that the scout gave him a ticket with on written that as soon he would get better he could play with the Brasil!
