San Jose Earthquakes expect greatness from Diego Maradona's great-nephew in Lionel Messi's league

A 5-foot-5 Argentinian No. 10 with a penchant for shredding opponents in the attacking third made his first appearance in the South Bay. Now Hernán López, the great-nephew of the late Maradona who was famous for such plays, hopes to recreate some of that same magic for the last-place San Jose Earthquakes. López, the 23-year-old midfielder blessed with the legend's genes and at least a bit of the late Argentinian's footballing talent, was at Levi's Stadium on Wednesday. “I'm very excited to be here in San Jose, and I wish to represent my uncle well,” said López, who was signed from Argentina's famed club River Plate last week.
