“I come from a family closely linked to rugby in Argentina: my grandparents, my father, and I have a brother who played until one or two years ago. All my cousins also played in Argentina and later in different parts of the world, always at an amateur level, not a professional level. I played for about five years, more or less from the age of 5 to 10. I have very good memories and very nice moments with that sport”said who knew how to be called up for the Argentine National Team.

After the interview, both exchanged shirts. The Aston Villa midfielder received the Gloucester jersey with his name and the number 10, while Alemanno had his Villans jersey with the number 5.
