People remember very well that not only were you an outstanding football player but that you gave football a social content, you made it an educational process. You are a role model. Football is one of the great ways to make peace among people. In football there is no discrimination, we don’t look at the color of the legs, we look at their speed. When a player like you arrives in our country the eyes of the children light up; Jewish, Arab or Muslim. There is a sense of belonging to a world where you compete to make everyone stronger and you respect the basic social laws.
