We have been reading a lot about Franco and his contributions to his present team, Schalke.
The team has been playing several matches and the last match they played in China saw Franco scoring well for the team. This happened when the team took part in a friendly match hosted by Guangzhou Evergrande.
The team did not face victory ultimately but the match was well played. The defeat of Schalke came at a score of 5-4. This happened when the penalty kick was unsuccessful. Schalke had sent over Sydney, Sam, who missed the kick from a distance of 12 yards. The Royal Blues however dominated the match throughout the game.
The game was held on Thursday at the training camp of Royal Blues. The team also known as the Chinese champions maintained their winning stance even in this game. In this game there were several successful goals scored by players, including Franco di Santo as well as others like Naldo, Sascha Riether and another which resulted in four successful goals for the team. The host team on the other hand, was able to land five successful goals.
The proceedings had been dominated by the Schalke team even though the tropical heat in this Chinese region must have been difficult for the footballers visiting this area, unlike the native players. When the ninety minutes were up, Sam was chosen for the penalty kick and that is where he missed out the goal for the team. There was a sports event as well where Franco along with his team mates was present.
These games are being organized as part of the Chinese initiative to get the game of football entrenched in the sports arena of the country. Adidas is organizing several camps and campaigns in this regard.
