It's tough to be named after both Ronaldo Lima (Il Fenomeno) and Zinedin Zidane, but one Mexican youth player might just pull it off. Ronaldo Zinedin Hernandez plays in the Santos Laguna youth system, and he just received his first international call-up, to the Mexico U-15 team.

This could be the first step in a long and prosperous career, but we don't want to put too much pressure on the lad. We just want him to do his best. But with his namesakes being two of the best players ever, he almost doesn't have a choice but to be good.
