Pep Guardiola Challenges Jack Grealish To Score More Goals

He is one of some 3,000 young Venezuelans competing in the multi-million dollar "eSports" industry, Poker Pkv a lucrative business with international signings, prizes and millions of viewers which has started to boom in the Andean nation, despite economic chaos, poor internet connection, power failures and local restrictions on war games.

CAGUA, Venezuela, Sept 1(Reuters) - Gamer Gabriel Parra was ecstatic to see himself hailed as the "Venezuelan star" after scoring the fastest time in an international Formula 1 eSports racing competition in May.
Guardiola is also convinced that top scorer Erling Haaland will eventually suffer a dip in form. Haaland has 19 goals in 11 matches for City this season and has surpassed all expectations during his first two months at the club.

"The truth is that when I saw the result... it was something magical, surprising, a dream I always had as a child that came true," said 23-year-old Parra, who lives in central-Venezuela's Aragua state, and started playing video games at the age of four.

The dream of earning a living as a professional gamer is particularly resonant for many young people in Venezuela given the sparse opportunities otherwise available in a country with a minimum monthly salary equivalent to about $22 a month.

"There are a lot of interested people, there is a lot of talent here in Venezuela, a lot of players," said Abreu.
