'Humanity can be brave and barbaric' - Coloccini talks Che Guevara, Nazis and Falklands War

EXCLUSIVE

Top-level players often have reputations of being vacuous and dim and tend to be accused of not living in the real world. That, though, is an indictment that cannot be aimed at Fabricio Coloccini.

In an interview with Goal, the former Newcastle United and current San Lorenzo center back has opened up about his interests outside of football and there are plenty of them.

Touching on World War II, concentration camps, his feelings on the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara and the Falklands War, the 34-year-old says he is in awe of the brutality and barbarity that humankind is capable of.
