MLSnet recently published
an article about Leo
Bautista, a Venezuelan defender who is on trial with the Los Angeles Galaxy. It's a cute little article about how he's enjoying his time in the States and how nice it is in Los Angeles. However I really wonder if the author embellished some of the quotes. At the end of the article
Bautista says:
"I'm very happy I came here," he said. "If I told you my country was similar to this, I'd be lying. The streets are clean, people respect laws ... it's just spectacular. I would stay here. I've fallen in love with the city."
Is he staying in the same Los Angeles we see in the news? I can only see a few reasons why he would have said this:
- Writer embellishment
- Faulty translation from Spanish to English
- Venezuela = Thunderdome.
