After school and homework, he spends hours practicing his favorite tricks, like juggling and moving his foot in a circle around the ball. Though he dreams of playing for Europe’s top teams, especially FC Barcelona with Lionel Messi, Leo would be thrilled to play for any professional team, whether in the US or abroad.
