LEGENDS!!!
Its been a really tough week for me. I have seen two of my heros say good bye to the world of sport.
Last week Andre Aggasi retired from the tennis world after captivating the world for 21 long years. And today the greatest of my heros announced his retirment.
MICHEAL SCHUMACHER!!!
LEGEND, BEST DRIVER OF THE GENERATION OR EVEN THE BEST DRIVER EVER!!! CALL WHATEVER YOU MAY BUT I WILL ALWAYS CALL HIM GOD!!!!
People say he may be the best but he didnt have the sportsmen spirit in him, well man all i have to say to you all is if someone plays to win and only win, then its not the matter of seeing how he won... but how many time did he win.
People say he cant handle loosing... man there where 3 years with Ferrari when he had joined that didnt give him any wins.... Yet he stuck by them. Even last year he had a torrid time but he stuck on. He knew and believed in himself and his team. And look today he may just win another world championship.
And that brings me to the most important point about htese two amazing individual. One was the champion of individual sports arena and the other is a stalwart of team sport.
Yet you find so much in common between them. Both were branded as rebel and rash when the started of, but both went on to change the face of their feilds and thus, earned the respect of everyone, not just in their feild but also from beyond.
It is this quality that made me crazy for them. Their ability to transform their modest qualities into something so strong that most of thier oponents just droodled in their awe.
Andre made it when everyone said small tennis players cannot win. He was a small player by size, who by the end had become a giant in every sense!!!
Similarly with Schumacher. From his benetton days it was ability to change the way people worked with him that realy set him apart. Both Benetton and Ferrari were stuggling before he joined them... and he single handedly turned them around.
That takes skill and quality.
There is so much we can learn from these amazing gems i have had the pleasure of watching.
I know for sure that my sundays will never be the same again, nor will i ever stay up to watch a tennis match.
But i know for sure that i have learnt a lot from these two gentlemen.
Andre keep returning man...
Schumi.... Chequered flag will always be yours and i will always say sunday for me is schumacher day!!!!
Hageln den König Schumacher!!!
