Ooof, some seriously wild weather here in NYC tonight. Torrential rain, trees down, power outages, thunder, lightning, hail…you name it. Hopefully I can get this post out and don’t lose power.
Training
The team had their first session of the week as we prepare for our final match of the season vs. Villareal. Everyone was available for the session, including Cristiano and Carvajal. Dario of the U19s was called up for the session. (Video)
Questionable Style
So I knew that Theo Hernandez was suffering from “Sergio Ramos Disease” when he started rocking the 2011 Sergio Hair Horror.
It was tragic on Sese, it’s tragic on Messi and it’s tragic on every other ‘baller that attempts it. But then came the clothing…
Lord, child. Even Lucas Vazquez called him out on it, posting this on his Instagram Story. Of course, I had to get a screenshot.
Sigh. When I said I wanted the young’uns to be like the Capi, I didn’t mean his fashion sense but bless.
His style might be shite but he loves his doggies Roma, Kira, Moet and Enzo and it’s totally adorable.

One thing that totally bummed me out though was the hideous abuse in the comments of his Instagram posts. The comments automatically translated from Spanish when I was on the page and it was absolutely relentless. I am guessing that it’s because Theo, his dad (Jean-François) and brother (Lucas) all played for Atleti and we all know how fun that rivalry is. People are such arseholes. Seriously, there is no reason for this sort of crap. Save the ire for the people who really deserve it. Lord knows, there’s unfortunately plenty of people who are doing horrible stuff out there. But to direct all that vitriol at a 20 year old kid who just wants to play the sport he loves? Come on, people, be better than that.
But enjoy the dubious fashion and doggies – two things that always cheer me up!

Hi, Lozil! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a comment. Anyhow, saw this adorable video of Enzo (Sunshine Jr.) and the team and thought you must see it (unless you already have.) Best regards! http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11835/11374422/marcelos-son-nails-bin-challenge-with-help-from-real-madrid-players
Jelly! How the heck are you? I’ve missed you! So great to hear from you. I hope all is well with you. I had not seen the video and that’s flat out adorable! I’m going to add it to tonight’s post. xo
I have been extremely busy and can’t seem to stay up to watch the 3am (in my time) matches anymore. Still following the team, just not as intensely. Hope you are A-OK and enjoying your vacay!
I do miss you and the others and all the fun we had. Big hugs!
