    I studied a semester in Cuba and in Mexico and my Spanish has been dying. Having said that, this comment explains why I found the commentary extremely hard to folllow!

    Hey santijoes, she was not speaking Spanish, she was speaking Gallego!! You should be able to understand about 80% if you speak Spanish, and the rest you figure out as you go, as it is basically a form of Old Portuguese.
    I happen to find Gallego quite beautiful, funnily enough my neighbours in Barcelona speak it, including on the same floor of my building, I live in a barrio full of immigrants from Lugo

    Ya that switch he pulled off was golden!
    And actually leading up to that switch it seemed like his teammates were looking to play through him more and more as he showed how trusted he was on the ball to get them out of tight spaces and up the field. It also showed his leadership qualities due to calming competent play - another reason i think Floro and son have given him the arm band. Bodes well for the future.
    Thanks again!
    ps - I'd be happy to help translate from spanish for others also if desired.. though that lady commentator's lisp had this argentine spanish speaker baffled!

    Many thanks for posting the stream! Up to 70' and I am really impressed with Piette's play so far.. makes me think of JDG in his unassuming but very very sound play, solid positionally and helps releave pressure time after time. He's released forwards with a couple of excellent through balls that remind me of some of his plays for the MNT.. I now see better why Floro rates him so highly.

    Here is a video of Cantave in action for Getafe U19 last season against Atletico Madrid.  Watch the first 30 seconds, he scores a great goal... looks to be pretty technically skilled but this video doesn't show much other than that.
    CD Guadalajara is a great move for him.  At 19 it's time to start playing against men and he has every opportunity to see first team minutes at a good level (good enough for Piette to get called).  I remember Riki from when JDG was at Deportivo.. pretty good player.
