Deaf and Blind Football Fan Enjoying 2018 FIFA World Cup Games With The Help of His Friend is Inspiring, Watch Video
Cesar Daza has learnt the sign language and created hand gestures so that he can help Jose to know what is happening during the game.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup has hit a high fever currently with the games taking an unexpected turn after every match. While some fans are cheering and others disappointed, there is a heart-tugging story of two friends that has become a highlight on the internet. A Colombian fan Jose Richard Gallego, who lost his vision and hearing ability to a disease can still enjoy the games as his friend Cesar Daza. Cesar helps Jose to follow every movement that happens on the pitch and it was splendid to see how the two do it. When Colombia beat Poland 3-0, Jose did not miss a bit of action, and the two die-hard fans of the game witnessed the lovely game like true patriots.
Cesar Daza has learnt the sign language and created hand gestures so that he can help Jose to know what is happening during the game. The two met three years ago and decided on a common understanding or rather a code to help understand the game. Daza came up with hand gestures unique to them, to describe the match movements in real time. He mimics the position of the players on the field by moving Gallego's hands on a scaled football pitch. They have decided the gestures for penalties, corners, throw-ins and red cards. The video of two enjoying the game came up on the internet and is melting hearts. Their joy after Columbia scoring a goal will even make you feel the happiness!

The video has instantly gone viral, earning more shares and views day by day. The two friends met just three years ago, bonded over the game and now have become the 'best bros' on the internet. Gallego was fond of the sport from his childhood. He grew up watching the football matches between Santa Fe and Millonarios on TV. He, unfortunately, lost the ability to see and hear at the age of nine after contracting a disease. Some fans of the game have even asked FIFA to fly these two for the finals of the coveted competition. Aren't these two the best and coolest pair of football fans?
