The survival instinct that Yaser Asprilla developed in a place hit by innumerable forms of violence is, to this day, the origin of some traits that make him different on soccer fields.
Little or nothing can discourage the phrase said by a rival, what falls from the stands, or an adverse marker for the 18-year-old who grew up in the region of Bajo Baudó (Chocó), where illegal armed groups fight over mining corridors illegal and more possessions.
Defensive tasks are not a problem for the talented attacking midfielder, who is now a player for Envigado FC, had a happy debut with the Colombian National Team the previous Sunday against Honduras.
This, according to Alberto Suárez, coach of the orange team, is due to the fact that “as a child he grew up avoiding obstacles”.
The happy sequence of what already seems like a movie was accentuated after Envigado FC confirmed that the rights of the young midfielder were sold to Watford in England.
