Childhood and youth of the football player

The history of the transition of Diego Costa to a professional level in football is somewhat reminiscent of the plot of the film "Goal." He was born in Brazil and, as is customary in this country, chased the ball through the streets with peers round the clock. At the age of 17, he played for the amateur team of his city and was noticed by one of the Scouts of the Portuguese "Braga".
