The guy won the hearts of the fans in five hours.
Just yesterday, 16-year-old Luca Fernandes was an ordinary teenager from Toulouse, and today all of France knows him. At least the part of her that is interested in football. And this despite the fact that the student himself did not expect such a surge in popularity.
Luka just wanted to play a prank on his friends, but an innocent prank suddenly turned the entire sports press on their ears. French journalists frankly got into a puddle, believing in a ridiculous story.
Just brilliant prank!
An ordinary day, the height of the summer holidays. Luca and his friend go to the fan shop of Toulouse, who have recently qualified for Ligue 1, to buy a football jersey. The guys buy jerseys and then decide to take a walk around the stadium. Suddenly, they notice that one of the entrances is open and you can go straight to the field. It is impossible to resist such a temptation: schoolchildren understand that they are breaking the law, but they still take risks.
All in order to take pictures in the form of “Toulouse” against the backdrop of the lawn and the stands. The guys will then send these pictures to their friends and make it look like Luca signed a professional contract with Toulouse. Official presentation, everything…
At some point, the guys are noticed by a stadium employee. However, he does not intend to drive them away. On the contrary, he gives them a mini-tour of the arena and helps them take even more spectacular photos. Now everyone will definitely believe that Luca Fernandes is a Toulouse player!
The photos have been sent, and Luca, in a correspondence with one of his friends, claims that the official announcement of the transfer will be in two weeks. However, it comes much earlier. It seems that one of the “newbie” friends leaked information to the media!
Alas, French journalists behave extremely unprofessionally. They write about the transition to Toulouse not by Luca Fernandes, but by his namesake Rafael, who is a pupil of the PSG school. In general, you can observe the work of a damaged phone in action. Articles in the press appear one after another, and a high school student from Toulouse himself is shocked by what is happening.
I don’t understand how we got to this. The journalist just wrote that “Toulouse” signed me, Luca is surprised on his Twitter.
The media all write about the transfer of Rafael Fernandes, but they post a photo of Luca. This continues until authoritative insider Leik Tanzi debunks the myth. After that, the sports media starts deleting their transfer notes as quickly as they posted them. And Tanzi receives well-deserved respect: he really saved the honor of the profession!
It’s a pity that my professional career lasted only five hours. I felt that I was perfectly prepared for the new season, – in the meantime, Luca writes disappointedly on his page.
Yes, Luca’s career at Toulouse ended rather quickly, but even in this short time he managed to win the hearts of the fans. In social networks, the guy received a lot of pleasant comments. The joke seemed to appeal to people.
“Dude, I like you. You are a great player, my respect. You have a truly great career. I think that Paris should leave you. I hope you won’t score us,” writes a user under the nickname Cyril LBESP2.
“I want a Toulouse jersey with your last name,” Alex Baldwin supports.
– Great joke! I hope the guard who let you in had no problems,” Elisa Raphy expresses concern.
Of course, the story with Luka will soon be forgotten, but for a few days the guy became a real star – at least in his hometown, where they follow every news from the camp of their favorite club. And French journalists should do better fact-checking. It is painfully easy for them to be led to provocations.

The scorer of the brace against Chelsea is an Aston Villa player. Ollie Watkins appointed head coach of the team Unai Emery tactical genius. Watkins’ comment is quoted by the BBC in reference to Sky Sports.
The meeting of the 18th round of the English championship between Aston Villa and Chelsea from London ended with a strong victory for the Birmingham team with a score of 2:1.
“He changed tactics because Chelsea played man-marking, but he had an extra central defender when we played long balls. When I came on in the second half, he put Jadon Sancho and Morgan Rodgers on the wing and put Youri Tielemans in the No. 10 position, so we had an extra player. He’s a tactical genius,” Watkins said.
“Amazing victory. For me personally, to go on the pitch and score two goals is a fantastic feeling, but to continue that streak and come here to such a difficult place and beat Chelsea is just incredible,” he added.
