Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Those who believed success has a cushion of fate and luck defy nature’s essential norms. Fate is to be achieved and luck to be crafted, for which Lisandro can be our lighthouse.
The struggle for germination:
Lisandro Martinez was born in the Argentinian subcontinent, with an amateur interest in the field of football. His virtues in life, namely aggression, perseverance, and agility, gave him a new stature in his sport. His height did not allow him to be a part of the central defence arrangement. But in lieu of his above qualities, he spent his early years in overcoming his physical barriers. What an inspirational anecdote for those wailing about their lack of resources and excusing their pathway towards success.
The journey:
This mantra of exceptional skills was received in a primary training setup called Newell Old Boys’ Football Academy. He did not let his inner fire freeze but rather kept it alive by initiating newer challenges every next day. Despite his interest in playing in the midfield, he learnt the defensive part of the field too.
New debut:
His next step was to sparkle the word with his fine skills. The opportunity came soon. He led his club to win the Copa Sudamericana six years back and carved his name out in the world of football. This was the time when the European scouts were made aware of Lisandro’s name and calibre.
The Manchesters United:
Two years after the great bombastic show, the next breakthrough came with his inclusion in Manchester United. Here he joined hands with Erik Han Tag. Critics tried to debar and prevent his further participation through this forum, but Lisandro was not born for that. He silenced his critics as opportunities showed up. He was not named ‘the butcher’ unnecessarily – it appears.
His accolades are shining along with the FIFA World Cup and many more titles with Ajax.
He is an epitome of inspiration, that, despite destiny chiselling your future, you can change its direction with grit!
