Lionel Messi's former club, Newell's Old Boys appear to have a bright future if the pre-match team talk by captain, Maximilano Pariente is anything to go by.
Approaching the last game of the season, Pariente displays a remarkable level of confidence and maturity as clutches his club tracksuit, inspiring his teammates before a local derby in the Santa Fe province of Argentina.
Another final. One match to cap everything we've done all season. Remember the first day we met. Remember that day, all of the training sessions. All the times we came off the park exhausted. Today we reward ourselves with victory. Today we leave as champions!
Newell's Old Boys and Rosario Central is a feisty derby where passion does not appear to be lost in the underage groups. And'Maxi' Pariente made it known to his colleagues just what it truly means to wear the much revered red and black jersey.
I want us to hug each other afterwards, regardless of the result. And to say we gave everything for this shirt. Because it's the greatest shirt in all of Rosario!

Displaying humility, passion and class, there are plenty of professional footballers who could learn a thing or two from the young Argentine.
Jot it down on a piece of paper. Keep it in your wallet. Then when Pariente comes of age in years to come, brag to your peers of how you always knew he was going to make it big following his pre-match speech in the 2016 under ten's Rosario derby.
