Retired Argentina goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri recently played in a charity match. His son played on the opposing team and with Roberto was not playing in goal, it may not have been a surprise when his son stole the ball from him. However, what was surprising that Abbondanzieri slide tackled his own son, getting himself a yellow card.
Was Roberto disciplining his son for making him look bad? Or was this simply playing hard, using 'football instincts' and not taking it easy against anyone, even his own son?
Either way, it looks like Abbondanzieri and his son probably have some things to talk about...and hopefully in a few years, they'll have a big laugh over this.
