While in the Parisian metro this morning, I was listening to 12 year old or so kids discussing yesterday’s Champions League game between Marseille and Real Madrid. I kept smiling to myself while overhearing the conversation. “Wow, did you see when Ronaldo kicked an amazing goal with his free-kick” said one boy followed by another one “I preferred the second goal where he gets up with lightening speed and kicks the ball into the open goal”. Then a third boy comments : “Il est trop stylé” which could be translated as “He’s so cool”. For kids, players like Cristiano Ronaldo are just like their comic book super heroes. A mix of coolness (think Superman) and speed (think Spiderman). As long as football will keep on creating Super Heroes, the game will stay in good shape. Thank you for making kids worldwide dream Mr. Cristiano Ronaldo!
