Erik Manuel Lamela was born in Buenos Aires on March 4, 1992, almost a year before our Captain Totti had made his debut with the first team with his giallorosso jersey (27.03.93, Brescia Roma 0-2). Born and bred in the capital of his country, little Erik loved football and started to play in the football school of Pedro Lozano of Villa Devoto, one of the fourty-eight districts in Buenos Aires. It was Oscar Videla Arias, responsible for the River Plate and former member of “Comision de futbeol Infantil” of “Millonarios”, to spot Erik’s precocious talent.

After few months, his life turned on a dime: River was relegated to the Argentine second division and this event paved his way towards AS Roma, who had already kept an eye on him for months. In July 2011, Lamela landed in Rome, where he found many Roma supporters waiting for him with great enthusiasm, looking forward to seeing his contributions to the new course the club is following this season. From Totti to Lamela: these two generations have now woven together to make the new Roma brand great.
