Football / Abu Karim

Trying constantly to know people,

crossing the defense

of the rival players, you have to advance

with a certain speed towards the goal post.

On the way you have to take timely assistance

of your friends and give passes with

your fast running body; the goal post will

remain constant in the center of your sight.

After that at a right moment you have to aim

Right to send the ball to the net of the goal post.

When the membrane of your inner ears are about to

be pierced with all the shouts,

with all the clapping of your

supporters you will be able to celebrate the goal.

There is no ending of knowing people;

no premonitory impression about how strong

defense the opponent will make is impossible to have.

After playing the whole life could Maradona have

any idea of what Grondona had in his mind?

The team of Maradona could not overcome the

defense of Germany in this world cup.

And the skills of his feet, hundreds of layers

of his wits, leading capacity-all proved false to Grandona.

Maradona could not know Grandona life long.
