Title: Is Rodallega talking about himself ?
Post by: Riverside on August 19, 2013, 01:01:58 PM
On Twitter he has posted

"Equipos o representantes interesados en un delantero hablarme por mensaje directo tiene 20 años y un gran futuro perfil derecho Ok gracias."

Translated

"Teams or representatives interested in a forward speak to me by direct message . Has 20 years and has a great future profile right Ok thanks."

So is he talking about himself or some unnamed 20 year old ?

Seems like he must be talking about somebody else, since it's pretty public knowledge that Rodallega is 28.  Sounds like he's trying to drum up interest in a friend or something.

He is speaking about someone else. He's speaking about another forward (speaking in the third person) who is 20.

mm not sure, google translate is a terrible tool. i think he could be talking about himself, he maybe 29/29 but could have been playing for 20 years? (but not sure one would include youth football unless at a major club). he would have a great future some where he can score goals. A lot of people do there CV's in the 3rd person, apparently that is the preferred way.

Can confirm that that translation is accurate, he's talking on behalf of a twenty year old.

well he mentions the words forwards and great in the same sentence so he is not talking about himself

"tiene 20 anos" means "he is 20 years old".  He's not talking about himself, unless he's both lying about his age and referring to himself in the third person.

Could he be talking about Marcello Trotta? I doubt it, but y'know...

I'm using ToodlesMcToot translate. He's talking about a 20 yr old forward.
