35-year-old Cristo Fernández… known to most as Dani Rojas from Ted Lasso — just played 30 minutes in a preseason friendly for El Paso Locomotive FC against New Mexico United. Before Hollywood, he was a real player coming through Tecos’ academy in Mexico. Knee injuries cut that journey short, but the love for the game clearly never left. He’s even had a trial with Chicago Fire II and scored in a friendly against Forward Madison. From playing a footballer on TV… to fighting for a real contract. “Football is life” wasn’t just a line. 👀 At 35, most people move on. He doubled back. You HAVE to respect it. Wow 👏🏽🤯 #DannyRojas #ChicagoFire #Football #soccer #mlsnext
