Bobito United Welcomes New Striker Pair
This week is the inaugural week of new club Bobito United. Management has finally been given permission to buy and sell players as they wish. With limited money the club has decided to use the majority to bring in a pair of strikers, Sebastian Giovinco and David Villa, both have had great success in past leagues and teams.
The Italian known as Gio has spent much of his career in Italy's premier league, the Serie A, playing for both Juventus and Parma. Many believe the only thing holding him back is his size. Standing at just 5'4'' Giovinco lacks strength and ability when the ball is in the air. Despite these setbacks he is able to make it up with his quick pace and his shooting ability. At his former club, Toronto FC, the striker was able to slot away 17 goals and 13 assists in just 26 numbers.
On the right side Spanish striker David Villa, who many believe is nearing the end of his career, is looking to prove the skeptics wrong and show signs of his youth. David is not the fastest or biggest player on the pitch but his dribbling ability as well as his shooting instincts have been able to boost his career to a high caliber. He has played for some of the worlds best teams in Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in Spain. I got down to meet with the spaniard before the teams practice on Tuesday and in regards to Giovinco he had plenty of good to say, "I have played against him many times (most recently in the MLS), I think we will have solid chemistry and will compliment each others play styles."
Bobito United is hoping to have a squadron set up for upcoming matches scheduled at the earliest on September 24. The staff say that it is short notice to build a team this fast and they expect to have one ready to play however changes may be made within the early days of the season.
The future of Bobito United is looking positive. And there has been added talks about developing a second team that will play simultaneously with the other team. More on that in the near future.
