Football 1 Money 0
that's how i see it, despite the fact that people have argued against this saying which is used to describe kaka's rejection of joining manchester city (for a record breaking amount equivalent to some countries' GDP). i'm probably not in the position to comment but i really respect kaka for his decision to stay at AC Milan. probably because i've been getting turned off by the rich's non stop buying of players just because they have the cash. despite the few upsetting incidents that occurred, the star player stood by his decision firmly, wanting to grow old at his club. football isn't about money, to me at least. probably because i'm still stubbornly refusing to accept certain facts in life.
sports, to me, is primarily about passion. we play for the thrill, for the adrenaline. we play to get better, alongside (or sometimes against) the people we want to be with, who share a common believe and interest. and along the way we meet people, pit against each other and hone our skills. we play for our love (not love for money mind you)
well done kaka
back to australian open. nadal still going on strong. but the real battles begin tomorrow.
new style - no more sleeveless and three quarters
what's really admirable about the new world number 1 is his persistence on court, even going for balls which are deemed as winners, hitting them back as if trying to tell his opponent "is that all you've got?"
all the time
that is probably why i'm still supporting him up till today (and because he's a lefty like me of course haha)
