This Friday night was a surprise at the Sporting Academy in Viana de Castelo. A real-time hologram of the captain of the Sporting Clube de Portugal soccer team, Sebastián Coates, was “teleported” to that city and surprised the little players before training. Children from 9 to 11 years old were delighted with the virtual presence of the idol.
“It’s Coates,” exclaimed one of the players, soon followed by his teammates, who began to greet the Coates figure with hello in “Spanish.” Communication was not immediate and the little ones laughed at the situation. “For me this is false”, fired one of them. Until, finally, the captain there managed to establish contact. “Hello, good evening. Sorry to interrupt your training. I know you are all Sporting fans,” he said, interrupted by the mini fans present who made Sebatián laugh when he said in unison “I am, I am…”.
“I wanted to send a big hug to everyone. I know that many dream of being players, so dedicate yourself a lot to that dream, enjoy playing, train every day, in the best way and listen to your coaches”, he continued. wishing: “I hope that one day they can be in Alvalade playing for Sporting”.
Sports enthusiasm took over the athletes of Viana do Castelo.
“I liked it a lot. I didn’t expect this surprise at all,” said Afonso, who would have liked to ask Coates “who was the best striker who played against him. Lucas, who dreams of dedicating himself to football in the future, said that I was already expecting to be surprised “by a great Sporting player” “They had told me that someone related to football was going to appear and since we are at Sporting, it was very likely that it was from the club,” he said with a laugh when he told him They said “it could be Cristiano Ronaldo. I liked it, but I also really liked that it was Coates,” he said.
The idea of ”teleporting” Sebastián in 5G for a motivational talk to the players of the Viana de Castelo Sports Academy, came from NOS, in collaboration with the club itself.
