The dream was not easy for Auston Trusty on Sunday. Raised in the picturesque suburb of the media of Philadelphia, the defender's mind was concerned about the issues that took place in New Orleans.
“I grew up looking at the Eagles,” said Defensor Celta.
'You don't even buy tickets for the game. You just go there on the back gate.
“They literally leave you in the parking lot outside the stadium and then you just listen to the noise of whether we are winning or losing.”
Few beyond the state limits in Pennsylvania gave the sports heroes of trusted childhood many possibilities of experiencing the previous emotion this week.

The Super Bowl Lix was announced as three mobs waiting for Kansas City bosses.
A nervous control of Trusty's phone when he finally stirred on Monday morning was a reminder of the lual attractiveness of sport unpredictability.
“It simply brings many memories and see them succeed,” he smiled.
'It means a lot to me and also for everyone, from Philadelphia.
'I was a little tired, so I didn't get awake to see everything. I had a little anxiety when I woke up thinking what happened.
'But to see what we won in the way we won, it was simply incredible.
'I would just be there to celebrate and be with my family.
'My dad is a fan of the eagles of a lifetime and my whole family really. It was really great.
Trusty does not believe in omens. However, before addressing the power of Bayern Munich tonight, it will take each stimulus. Who can say that this is not a week for the helpless?
“Yes, I think that's not to see,” he offered.
'The Eagles entered the game as great helpless, and defeated the Chiefs.
Can I inspire a little of that? Absolutely.
“I think we had a lot from the world encouraging us because I don't think they wanted the Chiefs to win three in a row and they wanted us to get backup.”
From his matches with Philadelphia Union to joining Celtic last summer, the American international has experienced some occasions of high octane, but none like the one he will wait in Parkhead on Wednesday night.

Facing the power of the winner of six times, Bayern Munich, in front of a multitude of pulsating capacity in Parkhead, is an occasion that does not arrive every day.
With a goal of a game for Bavarian giants this season, the possibility of chaining Harry Kane could be a little enviable task for many. Trusty finds the purely stimulating notion.
“These are the opportunities you have to show it,” said the 26 -year -old.
'You have to go out and act against a team like Bayern Munich, which has a great support.
'To play against these boys and these teams, these are the opportunities you want.
'He is a world -class striker, but I have played against some. I have played against Zlatan (Ibrahimovic). I have played against (Wayne) Rooney. I have played against David Villa.
'I have played against all the boys of the Premier League, different types that are fine now.
'I feel that I have played against many of the best.
'You learn from these experiences. Absolutely.'
The inimitable Ibrahimovic was the one that stands out. Although by then pushing 40 in the colors of the galaxy, the Swedish brought a wave of stardom to the city that the NFL would have approved.
“It was my first year playing in the union of Philadelphia,” Trusty recalled a 3-1 defeat in which the Swedish inevitably scored.
'It was a game at home. In general, we did not sell the stadium, but Zlatan would come: the whole stadium was exhausted.
'You couldn't buy a ticket. I couldn't get a ticket for my damn family!
'To be in that environment, to see what could be as a player, one that everyone wants to see, is selling a complete stadium. To see it in that aspect … but also to see his level and his caliber of playing in person, it was quite good.
'It was good for me as a young player to have that experience from the bat. It was really great.
Trusty's later trip to this point has not been exempt from challenges.
Having not achieved the progress in Arsenal after a transfer of Colorado Rapids, his first experience of the Premier League was blunt.
Sheffield United last season sank without a trace, winning only three games when they fell with only 16 points. Trust simply treated every day as a learning opportunity. Now he is reaping the rewards.
“Last year it was unfortunate, as was the season, being in the Premier League,” he recalled.
'But at the same time, I played 32 games in the Premier League, in six or seven different positions.
'Play in different positions against some of the best players in the world, in the best league in the entire world, can only help him, regardless of whether there are intermediate minimums.

I am in a new environment. I am in a new organization. Celtic, do not let you escape, from fans to your teammates to the coaches.
“You really can't get apart from doing your best and just get victories …”
With 14 goals in its last three national games, Celtic is in good shape.
Despite the great step in the class represented by Bayern Munich, the fact that Brendan Rodgers now has a complete quota of players to choose adds to the belief that Celtic can at least disturb them.
“I think the worst they can do is underestimate us,” said Tusty.
'I have seen that some people have already told us.
'Celtic is a great club too. Okay, if that is your mentality. I only think that if you have confidence, I don't think you should tell anyone else.
'We have no reason to play with fear. We have nothing to lose, just things to win.
'If we go out and do ours, I really think we can get a result that is in our favor. Support this team with everything.
In the week when their beloved Eagles shot so high, sources of inspiration are certainly not difficult to get.
“As a athlete, when you reach certain levels, you have to treat each game like a super bowl,” Trusty said.
'But I think that if you ask any of the Eagles players, the more you make it something different, it ruins things. Just play your game, don't do anything crazy.
