... that FIFA-listed referee Adonis Carrasco signed up for his basic training as referee without having ever played football and without knowing any rules?
Source: At this source in Spanish from a newspaper of the Dominican Republic named Listín Diario, Carrasco said the following: (Carrasco) se topó con un reclutamiento para árbitros de fútbol. Sin tener idea del reglamento, sin haber pateado nunca una esférica, levantó la mano: Inscríbeme, que uno no sabe de qué va a vivir |
Translation (by me): (Carrasco) stumbled upon a recruitment for football referees. Wihtout having idea of the rules, without having ever kicked a ball, he raised his hand: Sign me up because one never knows what we are going to live on.
Interesting hook. QPQ done. No plagirism issues and hook cited in the article. Good to go. Toadboy123 (talk) 13:39, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
