Arindam: - Viewers! Today in our episode of ‘Fantastic Football Fever’ of your favorite ‘Royal Bengal Tiger (RBT)’ TV Channel, we have invited an African footballer, who is famous worldwide. His name is Roger Miller. But before we start our chat session, let us hear what Mr. ARINAN has to say regarding the match between Cameroon and Denmark.
Mr. ARINAN: - Cameroon should have scored at least 5 goals, but they missed those opportunities. They only scored 1 goal. Danish strikers also missed some chances. Denmark played well in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, they were leading by 1 goal. In the last 25 minutes of the match, it was Cameroon all the way. Cameroon tried their level best, but somehow luck was not in favor of them. For 2 times, the ball came back after hitting the Danish goal post. Cameroon is virtually out of the competition.
Arindam: - Aha re…Cameroon team is in great trouble despite the good and consistent performances from Etoo. Mr. Miller, you may be very disappointed about it.
Miller: - Oh! Yeah…it is very disappointing. Our national team has failed to score goals. At least, Cameroon should win the next encounter.
Arindam: - You played for Cameroon and it was you, who made Cameroon football famous. Probably, you were the first African footballer, who got fame in the International football. What to say about your unique celebration! After scoring every goal, you used to dance in your unique African style. From snake dance to rain dance, you have displayed all types of dancing after scoring goals.
Miller: - Ha ha ha…Yeah…I really enjoyed each and every football match, where I scored goals for our Cameroon team. Why not? You should celebrate even a small moment of success, without thinking about the final result of the match.
Arindam: - You retired from International football at the age of 43 years. My goodness! How you played football after 40 years also?
Miller: - Football is such a fantastic game that I will not hesitate to play at the age of 60 years also. For any footballer, the game of football is an addiction. You cannot completely stop playing this game, even if you retire from international football. Even as a coach also, you will play football with your boys during training session...he he he….Let me tell you that for a sportsman, the age is only on the mind. If you think that you have become old, then you can retire from international football at the age of 28 years also, but, if you think that you are as young as a child at the age of 40 years, then you will continue playing the football.
Arindam: - Ha ha ha…yeah, yeah…I appreciate you viewpoint, Mr. Miller. In this World Cup, which African team is looking good for qualifying in the next round?
Miller: - Somehow, all the African teams have failed to perform in this World Cup. South Africa, Ivory Coast and Algeria have just started. But the other teams like Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana are all experienced teams. These countries played World Cup before also. Their performances are very poor in this tournament. But, yes, out of the new teams, I have some expectations from Ivory Coast. I really like the way this Drogba plays. African football is proud of Drogba. Everyone talks about Messi and Kaka, but they don’t know that Drogba is a dark horse, who can start running from anywhere. Chelsea rocked because of Drogba only.
Arindam: - Well, Ghana played against Australia. Let us hear from Mr. ARINAN about how Ghana has performed against the Kangaroos.
Mr. ARINAN: - The match was not so impressive. Ghana played better football than Aussies, but still the match ended in a 1-1 draw. It was Asamoah Gyan again, who scored goals for Ghana.
Miller: - Yeah, Gyan is also a good African player in this world cup. He is getting goals. Accha, what happened in another match between Netherlands and Japan?
Mr. ARINAN: - Japan is not looking as a good Asian side at all. The Dutch defenders were just marking the Japanese strikers so well that Japan failed to score goals. It was Sneijder, who scored the only winning goal for Netherlands.
Arindam: - Well, we are running out of time. Viewers, we will end our show here. Goodbye.
