Paris Saint-Germain star, Javier Pastore’s younger brother, Juan Manuel Pastore is certainly finding it hard to live under the shadow of his elder brother as he tries to follow in his footsteps
Being the brother or the son of an immensely talented footballer is not easy, especially of one wishes to follow their footsteps. If young Enzo Zidane quietly continues his apprenticeship in the Real Madrid youth teams, others haven’t got the same success.
Franck Ribery’s youngster brother, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francis-c13946 is far from being the same player as the Bayern Munich man. After trying his luck at Calais, Le Touquet and in Bayonne, the 25-year-old is without a club.
The same sad fate could eventually be shared by Juan http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Pastore who incidentally, is the younger brother of Javier Pastore, the same Pastore who joined Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
If his talented elder brother seems to have a promising future, Juan knows that he is in for a tough road ahead. At the age of 19, Juan has a lot of time to make sure he does not fall into the void.
Just like Javier, Juan learned his trade from Talleres de Cordoba before going through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Huracán-c39548. The midfielder even had the opportunity to train with Serie A side Palermo where his brother’s European journey began and where he showed the world about his
talents.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 of an elder brother. The PSG star is determined to promote his sibling and was the reason why his brother was taken in by Palermo B.
Javier engaged in an advertising campaign in order to promote his brother.
“I assure you that Juan is good, he looks like me, you will see for yourself. He is smaller than me by two inches, but is beefier. He trains at the moment with the youngsters, then we’ll see.”
However, no offence to Javier, Juan is not as good as Pastore and hasn’t really done well with Palermo B.
Even the club officials have made it clear that the player does not have a future that his elder brother has.
“We inform you that Juan Pastore is no longer one of our players,” said a Palermo official.
Not entirely convinced by the potential of Juan, the Sicilian club let go of him.
However, one can still expect Juan to match his brother’s accomplishments in the future. A few years ago, Javier Pastore was rejected by AS Saint-Etienne during a trial so one can also hope that the Palermo episode was just an error of judgment on the Sicilian
club’s part.
