Antonio Floro Flores of Sassuolo is being hailed a hero after he started proceedings to adopt an abandoned baby in Naples. Authorities who found the baby hidden in a bag on a train in Naples believe it was only three or four days old and after efforts to find its parents failed, Sassuolo acted. He explained his actions on twitter:
Dopo aver visto il piccolo Francesco, abbiamo seguito quello che dettava il cuore.sono padre prima che un calciatore, non certo un eroe!

Translated he says:
“After seeing the profile of little Francesco, we followed what our hearts told us, before being a player, I am a father. I’m certainly not a hero! We are going through the regular procedures.”
Some light at the end of a tragic story. Well done that man.
