I found this piece online and thought it interesting to share with you…
The football world is truly full of drama. Enjoy this compilation:
1. When Barcelona’s Xavi was 19, he almost signed for Milan. His father gave his “yes” to him, but his mother said, “If Xavi leaves Barca, I will divorce!” ‘O le toyen ni?!’😯”
2. While Zlatan Ibrahimovich’s youth team was 4-0 down, he came in as a substitute and scored 8 goals. Zlatan the intimidator!
3. Juan Mata is the first player in history to have joined Manchester United from Chelsea. Speaks of intense rivalry!
5. Alex Song has 27 siblings – 17 sisters and 10 brothers. ‘O ga ju!’🤓
6. Ryan Giggs is the only Premier League player to score 100 goals without scoring a hat- trick. Hmmm!
7. Cristiano Ronaldo was named after former US President, Ronald Reagan. Little wonder he’s so ‘presidential’ on the field of play!
8. Steven Gerrard has swapped his jersey with more than a hundred players, but never with a Man United player. ‘No be bad belle be dat?!’
9. Ronaldinho first gained media attention when his youth team won 23–0. He scored all 23 goals. Marvelous!
10. Chelsea have been relegated more times than they have won the English Premier League title.
11. The difference in Messi’s age and Ronaldo’s age is 869 days, the same difference as between Messi’s son and Ronaldo’s son.
12. Zinedine Zidane was never caught on offside position in his whole career.
13. Only one GOLD Premier League trophy has been awarded, and it was to Arsenal, because in 2003/2004 season, they didn’t lose any match. Are the Gunners gone for life?!
14. Brazilian legend, Pele, scored 92 hat-tricks, 4 goals on 31 occasions, 5 goals on 6 occasions, and 8 goals on an occasion. Legendary!
15. When Mourinho says you have a bright future, it means you can’t make his team at the present.🤣😂😅🤓
16. Cristiano Ronaldo was expelled from school at the age of 14 after throwing a chair at his teacher for mocking his family’s financial status. See who’s laughing now!
17. Christiano Ronaldo (CR7) has no tattoos because he frequently gives blood and getting a tattoo would render him unable to do so for 6 months. “That’s why he’s my favorite!” – DA
