Basic Draw

A Brazilian legend brought the samba beat to the City Academy on Monday morning.

Falcao is one of the worlds biggest stars in the sport of futsal, a form of football that embodies the South American approach to the game with its emphasis on skill, creativity and improvisation.

The 33-year-old will be showing what he can do to Citys under 18 squad, and the Academys Skills Coach Kristian Wilson is delighted that the lads can learn from such a great talent at first hand.

Kristian said, "Falcao is an absolute legend in futsal, arguably the best futsal player in the world. We are constantly striving to get kids of all ages at the Academy to be more comfortable on the ball, improve their dexterity and their co-ordination. Futsal skills can only help in that process and for our boys to learn from Falcao is real coup for the Academy."
