The thing about the esernyő the ball was already out for a throw in. But that doesn't mean I can't put it in the next Gera movie ;) all his good moments from this game will be in the new movie. You have my word :)

I was not able to decide it by 100%. (camera angle was not good enough IMHO) And Gera had a funny Monty Python-like dispute with the assistant. "That was not out" "yes" "noway"" yes" "no" yes" . :D Anyway, I do not care, it looked great, deserved to be preserved. :D

Told you: reminded me the Birmingham game, when he won a corner from a totally hopless situation.:) This guy has a talent. Sometimes the coaches has to go to hm, and tell him: you are great Zoli, you can do anything, so do it. 2-3 minutes short conversation before the games would worth the display he gives as a change. :)

thanks:) This guy is brilliant. Nothing more, nothing less. :)

Every time when he feels bad I would show him this one. It's the ultimate Gera conlusion for me:) : enthousiasm, speed, acrobatic skills and incredible technic. (of course the full scene: the "hopeless" sprint, the ball stopping, the quick jump, and the quick move to hit the defender with a ball for a corner):)

That's one of my favourite moments from him. And they scored a goal from the corner. :heart:

I think it's overrated to be honest. A lot of people say this was their very Zoli moment to me.
I would rate his crosses for Kanu and Horsefield above this.. also his showboat against Norwich :shades:
The cross for Kanu at Spurs was just poetry, the way Gera was already walking back before it landed on Kanu's head just gets me every time. It's like he knew it was a goal just as the ball left his foot. "there you Nwanko, put your head on that" :proud: the Horsefield one too because I don't think there are many players in the world that could execute a cross like that.

The reason why we apritiate this so much: while the other moments shows the great skills, that fight for the corner shows much more. A deep passion for winning every little battle and a "never say die'. Show his LOVE to play football and his will to win. Shows not just skills, but attitude. Tells more about Gera, then a cross, or a great dribble.

I did mention that positive mind reinforcement does wonders, I said to Judit here that Buszanky should for 15 minutes before every game lay down, relax and just repeat to himself "I'm the best footballer in the world and I will show it to them today".

It worked for Mohammed Ali.."I'm the greatest".

I also think that the game in England is not suited for him, too much running up and down and the caliber of teammates depresses him.

Yeah, well I like it for those reasons too..but I don't give many points for showing desire. If a player is paid 1000s of pounds every week it's the least I expect.
