Arindam: - Good evening, viewers! Today in this episode of ‘FANTASTIC FOOTBALL FEVER’ (FFF) on your favorite ‘Royal Bengal Tigers (RBT)’ TV Channel, we have invited a famous Argentine footballer whose name is Burruchaga. But, before starting a chat session with him, let us hear what Mr. ARINAN has to say regarding the match between Argentina and South Korea.
Mr. ARINAN: - As usual, Argentine footballers started attacking the South Koreans from all ends. Korean defenders were confused about whom to tackle the most because Messi, Tevez and Heinze were as deadly as monsters. They were breaking the Korean walls every now and then. Argentina got a free kick during the 18th minute of the match. Unfortunately, Mr. Park was standing just in front of the goalkeeper. The moment he can even understand what is happening in that free kick, the ball kissed his leg and parked itself inside the Korean goal post. All the Argentina fans were dancing like anything because it hardly matters how the goal came; what matters is that your team has got a goal. In another free kick, Higuain gave a decent header to score a goal. But, a Korean striker got a chance in the counterattack and started running towards the Argentine goalkeeper. The Argentine goalkeeper charged Chongyoung at the wrong time and South Korea got a goal. In the 2nd half, Argentina increased their pace of attack. Messi was at his best with his left-footed dribbles. He was just chipping the ball with his left foot and the Jabulani was swinging a little bit with a decent flight. Messi could have got a goal, but, Higuain appreciated Messi’s and Heinze’s effort by scoring another goal. It was not over. Higuain scored another goal to achieve the first hat-trick in this FIFA World Cup 2010. Argentina has reached the round of 16 to play against the second team of Group-B.
Arindam: - Wow! There cannot be any great news for Argentina fans, as Argentina thrashed South Korea by 4-1. But, South Koreans still have the chance to qualify for the next round. What do you say, Mr. Burruchaga?
Burruchaga: - Well, you never know! But, I think that till now North Korea and New Zealand have played good football from Asia and Latin American football is just rocking in this World Cup. European football is looking in great distress like their economy. Only Germany is looking good.
Arindam: - You were a member of that Argentine team, which lifted the World cup in 1986. Even you scored a goal against Germany in that final. Are you expecting that this time also, there will be a final match between Argentina and Germany and your country will lift the cup again?
Burruchaga: - Quite possible! When a legend like Diego Maradona is the coach, anything can happen. Maradona is expert in boosting the self-confidence of any player. Look at Gonzales Higuain only. No one even knew Higuain’s name, but Maradona had belief in Higuain and Higuain produced the results. Many new players of Argentina will perform well in this world cup.
Arindam: - Pele is saying that Maradona is doing coaching for money. Is it true?
Burruchaga: - Pele is a Brazilian. Every Brazilian takes birth with a golden spoon in their mouth. If you compare Argentina and Brazil in economic terms then you may be comparing between an International city and a remote village. More than half the populations of Argentina don’t get meals for 2 times a day. Argentina is one of the poorest countries of Latin America. That’s why, majority of Argentine players have no other choice than to play football for European clubs. Brazil is our arch-rivals only in football. All Latin American countries are friendly to each other and have a unity. Anyway, Maradona and his men should prove to Pele that this time they are in South Africa to repeat the history of 1986.
Arindam: - Well said, Mr. Burruchaga. Viewers, we will end our show here, but before that Mr. ARINAN has something to say regarding other matches.
Mr. ARINAN: - after Kalu’s goal, everything was going well for Nigeria, but, alas, one Red card gave moral boost to the countrymen of Alexander & Aristotle. Greece defeated Nigeria by 2-1. On the other hand, the Red Indians stunned French people by 2 goals.
