BUENOS AIRES - In a poor community in Buenos Aires, 14-year-old boy Carlos Nahuel Ramirez has his way of avoiding trouble in an area overshadowed by gang violence and drugs.

"I really like soccer. I began to play at the age of 4 and my big dream is to be a professional player, if possible for Boca Juniors, Argentina's top team," the left wingback said.

Ramirez's neighborhood of Bajo Flores is home to the popular San Lorenzo club.
