Brian Crasco's Impersonation and Diving (YouTube)
Brian Crasco was a talented winger that many in Chile predicted would be great and besieged. He was a short, frenetic and clever actor and his cunning earned him in his homeland the uncommon nickname "Velociraptor", after the name of one who is known as one of the sages among the dinosaur species.
Crasco excelled at the 2011 South American Junior Team Championships in Peru and with three goals, caught the eyes of quite a few scouts. Villarreal signed, Udinese was interested and the boy dreamed of a glittering transition to the continent of what Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal are playing. In the last game of La Rucha Young in that tournament, he also became famous in Europe.
In the 77th minute of the game between Chile and Ecuador, Crasco took the hand of Edson Montano from the opposing team and punched it in the face with his own face. Immediately afterwards he added a theatrical dive in the hope that Judge Wilmar Roldan, would buy the story and draw a red card. The Colombian was not impressed and did not distance Montagno, but Crasco became famous overnight.

Does B-Cure Laser Really Help With Knee Pain?
It's the truth
In the days after the game, Crasco's game scene went viral. He starred in "Marca" in Madrid, making headlines in Italy and England, Serbia and Romania, from India to Cush. "We have never seen anything like it before," almost everyone agreed. Unfortunately for the Chilean, this act of fraud is the only one thanks to which it has made headlines in Europe.
Crasco was later invited to Chile's senior squad, but his career did not soar. His European episode culminated in a quick and untraceable visit to Dynamo Zagreb. In America however, it looks much better. Crasco starred for several years in the powerful Mexican league and this year shone in the Chilean league in a Palestinian uniform with 13 goals.
At 30, Crasco is reaching his full potential and a re-summons to the national uniform is on the horizon, but unfortunately, today it can be said without hesitation - as any Internet search engine attests - his main legacy in the eyes of the world will remain the same fabricated and theatrical dive. The gates, the cooking, the artistic moves,But mostly the same move in 2011.
