Well, I've had time enough to think about going on with this project, what to talk about, etc, and, as I said, I wanted to talk about football, so, I'll begin with the only idol I've ever had in football: Marcos Santos Assunção, "Assunção".
This brazilian middfielder was recognised to be the best free kicker in the world. He got this recognisement after the Spanish season 2004/2005, playing at Betis, where he helped the team to win the "Copa del rey" and play Chamions League with his 11 goals.
Iker Casillas, maybe the best goalkeeper in the world admited that he nedt to be very concentrate and to be lucky when Assunçao was prepared to shoot. The key to make Assunçao's shoots effective, was the "Folha Seca" technique, it is a strong shoot that makes the ball go fastly down. When a player knows how to do it, it is nearly impossible to stop it.
Appart from Betis, Marcos Assunçao called "Heliopolis' Cannon", also played in Calcio (at Roma's team), EAU at Al-Ahli or in his country at Santos or Flamengo at first, or at Grêmio Recreativo Barueri, his last team.
But, the best way to remember this amazing footballer is watch one of his videos and knowing what said Betis' speaker: "el portero esta 'asustao', tira la falta, Assunçao" (the goalkeeper is skared, shoots the free kick, Assunçao). Enjoy it.
