At least looking in the mirror and fretting you whisper, yet the reality is that you are constantly confined by that invisible ceiling ......
That wouldn't be a reason for you to be silent, but you're silent because of it. People say Messi is short, but he's talented, he's a soccer prodigy, but look at yourself. At fullback, you're constantly competing with players who are much taller than you are.
It is always remembered that the last defender to win the Ballon d'Or, a height that was beyond the reach of many players, is now beyond the reach of highly reputable defenders such as Van Dijk, Ramos, Koulibaly, Chiellini, etc., but Cannavaro, the captain, who was only 175 cm, was able to win the Ballon d'Or for winning the World Cup. Cannavaro, the 175cm captain, won the Ballon d'Or for winning the World Cup.
We're always skeptical of physically unimpressive linebackers, aren't we? Just like we doubted Lisandro Martínez.
In the face of such a test, I don't think Martínez will be silent anymore, and this time, he will prove himself with what he has learned.
Silent you, looking at yourself and your home. Right! I have nothing, but I at least have soccer.
Martínez was definitely not wealthy, and on many occasions Martínez would even lie in bed hungry, yet Martínez always wears a shy smile when remembering these somewhat arduous times.
That's where dreams are launched, and even if I'm tired and hungry, I can forget all about it if a ball is given to me.
Always miss that place, don't you think? The carefree environment of Molino's is the purest joy, and although you were successful at Ajax, that feeling, you'll never get it back.
The most difficult circumstances often inspire the most solidarity. In the Martínez family, the bond between the parents and their two children is unspeakable. The father has always been proud of Martínez, especially in soccer, and he is definitely Martínez's biggest pillar of support, and it's that kind of emotion that makes for that classic film. When Martínez's father heard his son's selection to the Argentine national team in 2019, those who left not only moved tears, but also the pride of the whole family, accompanied by the sweet and sour that they have experienced together at this moment, is incomparably sweet.
Life experience, definitely the best mentor a person can have.
From that moment on, you know that your soccer ball is not only made up of pentagons and hexagons, but the line printed on it is a motivation for you to improve, to put yourself in your place.
Martínez, who comes from a poor background and is more aware of people's discomfort, has a tender heart and definitely knows how to put himself in people's shoes.
When I see a man having a bad time, I try to help him.
Remember last year's Ajax thrashing of this VVV-Venlo team 13:0?
When the players on the team are immersed in the joy of scoring their own goal, you will see that short figure walking alone towards the group of lonely people, a thank you is the most bland, but the best antidote to the sadness of the time. Soccer is never just a competitive sport, it is the inspiration that it brings to everyone. Sometimes when you look down, you realize how long Martínez's shadow has been built up.
Silent you, looking at the tall goal, what's wrong with being short, you can look at my idol Gabriel Heinze!
How small, yet great, when he speaks his dream. I want to go to soccer school! It's a place that you dream of as a 4 year old, where nothing tempts you but soccer, which has completely taken over your life. You would call it your first home, making friends who would then play soccer together in Europe, yet you knew that it wouldn't be the end of the road for you, and being short would be even less of a disadvantage, as you saw Carlos Tevez's amazing performance in the World Cup.
Silent you, looking in the mirror, wearing a jersey that has long since changed from white, to black and red, idols, here I come!
