Favorite team at the Christmas break.
Published by DSAdmin on December 17, 2008
Do you have a few hours, because I can go on forever on this one! Favourite team without a shadow of a doubt has to be Olympique Lyonnaise (or commonly known as Lyon) who play in Ligue Un (the French Premier League). The team has been responsible for showcasing some of Europe’s greatest talent over the past few years, causing them to be a ‘buffet’ of sorts of Europe’s top teams. Household names such as Michael Essien (sold to Chelsea), Mahmadou Diarra (sold to Real Madrid), Eric Abidal (sold to Barcelona FC), Florent Malouda (sold to Chelsea), Gregory Coupet (sold to Athletico Madrid), etc have all at some point called Lyon their home. And now, star Lyon striker Karim Benzema is being touted as the greatest young striker in Europe and Lyon are already receiving offers from Manchester United, AC Milan, Chelsea, and all the other big teams for his services. Favourite player is an absolutely HORRIBLE question to ask! You would have to break that one down into favourite player in each league for each position! However, for your purposes, as a goalie myself, I would have to say that Real Madrid’s goalkeeper Iker Casillas is my favourite player, with a long line of others such as Diego Ribas, Juninho Pernambucano, Sulley Muntari, Michael Essien, Karim Benzema, Genarro Gatusso, Daniel Alves, Diego Capel, Sergio Aguerro, Raul Tamudo, Carlos Kameni, and I’ll stop there for your sake.
