This week, ‘Sporting Stars of Tomorrow’ features Al-Asr school learners, Mohsin Altaf and Yahya Gani, who play very different roles on the soccer field, with Mohsin holding the back line as defense, while Yahya plays right-back, bringing his own flair to the game. Besides sharing a school and soccer idol, the lads share little else, with Mohsin wanting to become a vet one day and help animals, while Yahya wants to be a superhero like Batman, helping people and beating the bad guys. The pair of Ronaldo fans were both delighted however, that their football hero scored the winning goal for Portugal in the Nations League Semi Final this past Wednesday. The Laudium Sun wishes these aspiring youngsters everything of the best, whether it’s helping and saving animals or protecting people from danger. Good luck guys!!
