After seeing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang donning the Spiderman mask after scoring against Rennais, it has been confirmed once again that football is indeed more than just a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
In http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, the former AS Saint-Etienne goalkeeper Jeremie Janot is considered a true icon of the Cauldron. The 35-year-old shot-stopper became a famous internet personality by wearing a full Spider-Man costume during a match against FC Istres in 2005. Since
then, the keeper has made regular appearances as Marvel Comics’ superhero.
After spending a lot of time at the Rhone club, Janot signed for Le Mans. However, his departure does not mean that people have forgotten about him. In a recent Ligue 1 encounter against Stade Rennais, Les Verts striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was eager
to celebrate his goal by donning the Spiderman mask in a bid to honour his former teammate.
The young Gabonese striker’s celebration moved Janot, who informed his fans on twitter that the striker had promised to make a celebration for him if he scored against the Breton side.
“Spiderman is on tonight. It will be a dream,” the striker tweeted to Janot.
The youngster kept his promise by donning the mask after scoring a delightful goal for his side.
“Pierre-Emerick told me he was going to give me a dedication. I was really moved,” Janot said while talking to Bein Sport.
It appears that ASSE’s rivals, Olympique Lyonnais’ players also have a lot of affiliation with the club. After netting the only goal of the game in the 1-0 win over Brest, Bafetimbi Gomis chose to run towards his club’s mascot (Lion) and wore the mask in
a bit to show appreciation for a club that has given him so much.
For any player, scoring a goal is a moment of joy and happiness and something that no one can take away from him. It is quite understandable if a player outdoes his goal celebration. For instance, the former Argentine international and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658 legend,
Martin Palermo, had a goal celebration that not many players would dare to do.
The talented striker, in a couple of games, chose to celebrate his goal by diving headfirst into an advertising board, though, he got a few stitches for his antics, the explosive striker kept on doing the same celebration every now and then.
Some celebrations can turn out to be outrageous and below the belt. For instance, Togolese striker, Emanuel Adebayor’s celebration for scoring against his former club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 a few seasons ago got him some unwanted attention and he was on the receiving end
of a lot of criticism.
From Peter Crouch’s robot celebration to Luis Suarez’s diving celebration infront of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes to legendary Romario’s ‘cradling a baby’ celebration all those years ago, these little moments in football do add to the beauty of the game.
Ronaldinho doing the samba after scoring a gem of a goal against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the Champions League a few years back is another example of how netting a goal means to players.
However, at the end of the day, celebrations and the manner in which they are conducted remind fans that football is more than just a business to them.
