Man creates new sign language gestures to help his blind and deaf friend to enjoy football games

Jose lost his vision and hearing when he was nine years old. In 2015, e met Cesar, a man, who, like him, loves football.

Cesar learned sign language and then he came up with a set of hand gestures in order to communicate a football match, in real-time, to his friend, for when they watch games together.

The man mimics the players' position by moving Jose’s hands on a scaled-down football pitch in front of them.

"We've reached a common understanding. This means out of bounds. This refers to a corner kick. This means sideline judge. This sign means a penalty kick. If the ball is thrown-in, this is the signal. This gesture means someone got a red card or yellow card," Cesar explained.
