EARLY DAYS
He says his youth club River Plate helped him and his family overcome difficult times during his childhood growing up in Villa Fiorito, Argentina. "For a big part of my childhood I lived there [Villa Fiorito] and we had big problems. River continued supporting me. At age 16 I already had a contract but they kept me supporting me to help my family. I am grateful with them because they took me out of there and formed me as a person."
