In this edition of ‘Sporting Stars of Tomorrow,’ we feature soccer enthusiasts, Tabraiz Edhi and Yahya Vally, who play for the same team, Aztec FC, but whose dreams couldn’t be more different. Central attacking midfielder, Tabraiz, is all about Manchester City magic, also idolizing Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, while dreaming of hearing crowds chant his name in packed soccer stadiums, some day soon. Rock-solid center back, Yahya, is a Liverpool fan through and through, looking up to Virgil van Dijk, but his real game plan is to get rich and secure the ultimate financial ‘win.’ The Laudium Sun wishes the pair of future stars the best of luck, as Tabraiz dribbles his way to soccer stardom, while Yahya plans to bank the big bucks. Good luck guys!!
