Football Special report: The Perfect footballer
One frequently comes across people arguing over who deserves ‘the best player in the world’ title. The likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andres Iniesta and Xavi – not to forget Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299, who calls himself the best player in the world – are frequently
compared and contrasted. However such debates never reach any conclusion and in all honesty, they never will.
Bettor.com thus decided to make the perfect footballer. Football is a game that takes more than just a ball and feet to play. Each and every muscle of one’s body is tested to the limit at the top level. Thus we shall form a football player by taking the
best assets from a number of the worlds top players. The components that we need to make our player will be: a head, a neck, left arm, right arm, a torso, left foot and right foot.
Head: Xavi
We need a head that has the mental strength of Albus Dumbledore, and which thinks like Einstein on the pitch. Xavi is undoubtedly the most intelligent footballer on the planet at this point in time. His understanding of the time and space around him is simply
immaculate. Also, the player can pick out any pass with utmost ease. Very much like a veteran chess player, Xavi initiates moves from midfield, which result in a goal several touches later.
Neck: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741
The neck doesn’t play a major role in enhancing a footballers’ skill, but Crouch’s head will add almost three inches to our perfect footballer’s height. We reckon that will improve the player’s aerial ability.
Left hand: Lionel Messi
Hands and arms are not used in football – it’s called football for a reason. However, when your left hand moves voluntarily towards the ball and slaps it in to the net without the referee noticing, you have one prodigious hand. Such hands are useful in tight
situations. That’s why Messi’s left shoulder and hand are part of our perfect player.
Right hand: David Navarro
Yes, right arms and hands aren’t used in football either. Since the author can’t recall a player who scored with his right hand, we shall give our complete player the right hand of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan went head-to-head
in a Champions League fixture, when a brawl broke out on the pitch. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Marchena-c8481 had aimed a kick at Nerazzurri defender Nicolas Burdisso. As it so happened, Navarro was on the bench for that game. However, our right hand man ran on to the pitch, landed
a right handed punch onto Burdisso’s face and broke his nose. The sight of Navarro running towards the dressing room, while being chased by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ivan-c17215 Cordoba and Maicon was one comical sight.
If you are not going to use your hand to play football, better use it in combat.
Torso: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044
Didier Drogba has to be one of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/The-Strongest-c40725 forwards in world football. Even though the Ivorian often takes to the ground like a kindergarten infant, his upper body strength is simply prodigious. When Drogba is in the mood, he can be seen dragging defenders
hanging onto his shirt, while scoring goals for fun.
Right foot: Cristiano Ronaldo
If there is one football player who can blindly kick a ball from a free-kick position without any technique or aim, it’s certainly http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 - his right foot is that powerful. Apart from the strength, Ronaldo has excellent technique despite being
ambidextrous, and it would be a crime to leave him out of our complete player.
Left foot: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296
This doesn’t even need any elaboration. The player has a right foot as good as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Titus-Bramble-c35166, and yet he is the reigning FIFA world player of the year. His left foot is so good that he doesn’t even need to use his weaker right foot.
