Started playing when he was 4 and grew up in a family with interest in football.
He likes Zidane the most and imitates him in his play
Prefers to play in attacking positions, such as trequartista, and tries bringing the ball from midfield.
Likes to face opponents and takes them on
He would like to play in Italy, and knows the game well because he follows it often.
Would be a dream to play for Juve (as said), and recognises them as a big club
Thinks Del Piero is a player to look up to, he is always scoring and he admires him most at Juve

Maybe because our youth team players are not that good? Ronaldo, Messi and Aguero to name a few did not come out of Athleticos Madrid, Manchester United and Barcelonas academies. Also Pato from Milan.
This is a really old post to pick an argument with, but Messi came from the Barcelona academy. He moved there because they offered to pay money for the medicine he needed for something.

His body wasn't producing enough growth hormone. Hadn't Barca paid for the treatment, he would have been about 140cm tall (4'9"). He's now 170cm (5"9").
