Chinese teenager living his dream

BUENOS AIRES - Lyu Sunhao embodies China's dream of becoming a soccer powerhouse.

The 15-year-old junior player is training in Argentina - home of global soccer prodigy Lionel Messi - hoping to absorb some of the nation's knack for the game.

"Messi is my idol ... and for millions of other Chinese, too," said Lyu. "My dream is to play in Argentina, to become the first Chinese to debut in South America's first division, then return to my country to play for China's national team."
