R10: that's why he's still my favourite footballer to watch.
everyone has their own "best goal of all time"
some opt for power, like those typical Gerrard 40 metre screamers, or Rooney's volley against newcastle a couple of seasons back.
some prefer skill, ala the legendary Maradona dribble past half the England team to put the ball into the net. Or even the equally unforgettable dribble across half the field against Arsenal to blast the ball past david seaman (HA! TAKE THAT YOU ARSENAL FANS!) :p
others choose superb technique, from the physics defying free-kicks that C.ronaldo has been performing recently where the ball literally travels one direction, and swerves another. or Beckham's famous curlers, or even the crazy Roberto Carlos Free-kick against the France in the 1998 World Cup.
for me?
I opt for something that combines abit of everything, and abit more.
this goal is number one for me, partly cause Iwas watching the match live and I couldnt believe he could pull it off. I was like woah, this cockanathan trying to do wad samba all, then POOF! goal.
1 word: magic.
and as the commentator very nicely reminds us: petr cech, petr cech NEVER MOVED.
It had everything,
skill to hold off FIVE defenders around him whilst making Carvallho (which virtually every fan who has watched the EPL will agree he's up there with the very best of defenders, and makes terry look half as good as he does) look like a joke twisting and turning.
vision to see petr cech off his line and the idea to take a shot.
power and technique to curl the ball into the corner with his outfoot.
and like i said, for making a goal out of nothing. it was obviously a hopeful punt-up that got headed away by terry. one barca fella got the ball saw 3 defenders around him and passed it to the magician who....POOF
magic i say.
That's why he's my favourite footballer to watch. Alot of people enjoy seeing c.Ronaldo dribble, I've never been too big a fan of him, yea he can out run he can head the ball and stuff, but i've rarely seen him create a goal out of nothing like this fella can. The back heels, the no-look passes, the scintillating dribbles, hell I'm running out of superlatives to describe this guy. I'm hoping he gets back his form in AC Milan and hopefully, we'll get to seethe best of him again, just like this other brazillian whom everyone thought had 'died'.
"Imagine being 419 days, 419 days, 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 9 seconds without doing what you enjoy most and gives you the most pleasure in your life. Without scoring goals. That's how I was. Yeah....was."
