Raul's son begins career with New York rivals
Hugo has already played in eight games
Posted Monday, November 14, 2016 by Marca.com
Despite finishing his career with New York Cosmos, Raul Gonzalez's son Hugo plays in the academy of New York City FC.
The MLS side's first team boasts such names as David Villa, Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo and Andoni Iraola, and Hugo Gonzalez is with the under-14 team.
Aged 13, he has played in eight fixtures - seven of which as a starter - in the US Soccer Development Academy, a league where he would face teams from the lower echelons of the MLS, NASL and USL.
Hugo uploaded a photo to Instagram of the match between his team and Atlanta United FC, a fixture that was played on October 30.
Playing with the number 11, Hugo played 80 minutes of the match as New York City drew 1-1.
He does not appear to share the same goalscoring instinct as his father, however, after not managing a goal in any of his opening eight fixtures.
Just like his older brother Jorge, who plays for Fordham and was recently league champion, Hugo is making his first steps in the world of football.
