Germán is 17 years old. He was searching for a club of some historical significance and a somewhat forgotten club while playing career mode in FIFA. He got interested in the club and went on to discover more about their history.
I also asked him about his local club Velez, and their historical win against Milan in the Intercontinental Cup of 1994.
He’s also a fan of AC Milan, Italy. We went on to talk at length about the challenges as a Far Away Fan.
I asked him about his interactions with fans from Portsmouth and how they reacted to him being a fan from Argentina. He also explained to me what ‘Mush’ means in Pompey slang ?!?
Finally I ask him what being a Portsmouth fan has brought to his life.
He hopes to see Pompey back in the Premier League and be able to visit Portsmouth in the near future.
It was such a joy to speak to a young fan discovering his love for a club.
