The worst punishment we could threathen Leo with was: 'You're not going to practice today.' He'd then say: 'No Mummy, please, I will be really good, don't worry, I promise, let me go and play..' He begged and insisted until he convinced me.

"My Mom (Leo's grandmother) was the one who accompanied the kids to their training sessions. She was the one who insisted that they let my Lionel play even though he wasn’t old enough, even though he was the youngest and he was small. Because, he’s always been small. They were afraid he’d get trodden on, that he’d get hurt, but she wasn’t, she insisted: 'Pass it to Lionel, pass it to the little guy, he’s the one who scores goals. She was the one who convinced us to buy him football boots. It’s a shame she can’t see him today. She died when Leo was ten years old, but who knows if, from up there, she sees what he has become and is happy for that grandson of hers whom she loved so much.

"Leo's favorite dish is called : 'The Milanesa a la Napolitana'. I buy the rump or a piece from the hindquarter. They’re cuts of beef I’ve also seen in Barcelona but I don’t know what they’re called. I put a bit of salt on each piece, dip them in egg and coat them in breadcrumbs. I fry them until they’re nice and golden-brown and I put them in an oven dish. I slice the onion finely and fry it over. When the onion turns white, I add chopped tomatoes, a little water, salt, oregano and a pinch of sugar. And I leave it on the heat for around twenty minutes. Once the sauce is done, I pour it on top of each piece of beef, making sure they’re well covered. I take some cream cheese or hard cheese out of the fridge and lay it on top of the beef in thin slices. I leave them in the oven until the cheese melts. All that’s left to do is fry the potatoes as a side dish and the 'Milanesa a la Napolitana' [Schnitzel Napolitana] is ready to serve. When I go to Barcelona I have to make it two or three times a week. And with at least three medium-sized cuts of beef. I tousle his hair and tell him: 'My Schnitzel Napolitana' and my 'Mate' are what make you score so many goals.' Lionel has simple gastronomic tastes: Schnitzel, but not made with ham or horsemeat; chicken with a sauce made of pepper, onions, tomatoes and oregano. He doesn’t care much about elaborate dishes, like the ones his brother Rodrigo makes. It is natural for Rodrigo to experiment and try new recipes, although Leo doesn’t always appreciate them.
