Lucas Viatri: Goalscoring Phenom/Accused Salon Burglar

By: chris | November 18th, 2008

Hard to imagine there are greater things as a 21 year old lad in Buenos Aires than being the next goalscoring superstar and scoring the “1″ in a 1-0 Superclasico in your debut year – even if half the city despises your very soul. Which I suppose is what makes these accusations seem pretty bizarre.

Lucas is being accused of stealing scissors and hairspray from a Buenos Aires hairdresser while armed, along with his brother and friend. Something which is both stupid and incredibly stupid, since this kid quite obviously has a future ahead of him (6 goals in the Apertura already). But his agent and lawyer are both denying any involvement.

“There’s no case against him, there’s no evidence which incriminates him,” Olcese told Reuters.

“He was training at the time, that’s the truth,” said Viatri’s agent Cristian Traverso. “He couldn’t be in two places at once.

So if he was at training…how much would you like to wager that salon is owned by River Plate fans? After his Superclasico dagger, that’d be an epic equalizer. You know, til Lucas sues the bejeezus out of them.

That story is too weird even for us Argy football fans.
On top, Lucas Viatri is a very shy and quiet kid who idolizes Martín Palermo.
Something is wrong with the picture.
OhYes

What a bunch of idiots. Yeah, we're all going to believe that this kid, who is on his way to earning millions of dollars, is going to steal your scissors and hairspray. This happens on so many occasions that it's difficult not to believe it!

Why the fuck would this kid steal scissors and hair spray while armed and with two people. I think he's got better shit to do, like win superclasicos. Pure bullocks.
