This.. is gorgeous. Did you do research? It seems real, somehow. I can see where Demichelis' father is coming from - football is an uncertain world, and he doesn't have his wife to help him raise his son. Yet at the same time, I can feel Demichelis' dream - to succeed at football.

btw, check your recent post about Klose. I kinda gave you a drabble prompt there. ^_^

I didn't really do much research for this, to be honest. I've read a lot of articles on Micho so far, and I've memorised a lot of things, like the fact that he left home at the age of 15 to play football in Buenos Aires and that his family wasn't happy about this, or the fact that his mother died of cancer when he was three. And that he's the stereotypical South American when it comes to religion. Though he doesn't say he belongs to Jesus or anything. And he doesn't have his own faith seminar at his local church, like Marcelo Bordón. Erm - yes. I'll stop now. ;)

I'm glad that this worked for you. Thank you for the wonderful comment. :)

I read the prompt... XDDD Must try to write about this tomorrow!

That's counted as research. XD I remember a lot of trivia from random articles too, which I frequently use.

^_^ I'm glad about the religion thing, actually. Seeing as I'm a Christian myself.

I may actually be able to hit 10 WITHOUT my prompt, that's why I'm giving it to you. (no, I am not insane what are you saying LALALA.)

teamwork and all that

Ok, so now I'm interested.

This is very beautifully and engagingly written, and the voice is so believable. Lovely, lovely. ♥

Whee! You're interested! :D If I can help you with expanding that interest dealing with that interest, just say the word. :)

Thank you so much! Your compliments mean a lot to me. ♥

It's beautiful and very believable.

"You're giving your mother pain," my father used to chide me, looking up into the sky. "She's crying up there."
Oy, the dramatic emotional blackmail O_O

Thank you! I was a bit worried because of the religious aspect. I wasn't sure if I dealt with it correctly as I don't have a religion myself.

Oy, the dramatic emotional blackmail O_O
Even worse - dramatic emotional blackmail from parents. That's the worst kind. And so widespread... *sighs*

Glad you like it! :)
