The sticker was enough to make your mouth water on paper. On the initiative of Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos, an exhibition match was organized between their friends at the DRV PNK stadium in Fort Lauderdale, near Miami. “With no major event happening this summer, we wanted to fill the void for football fans around the world by bringing football legends and superstars to South Florida.”The former Paris Saint-Germain player said before the meeting.
Many spectators had reason to be happy since the meeting ended with an amazing score of 12-10, in favor of the former coach and his friends.
Pogba and Matuidi replied
On the grass, players are still active like Brazilians Eder Gabriel Militao and Vinicius Junior, winners of the Champions League this season with Real Madrid, Chilean Arturo Vidal, Canadian Alfonso Davies, Portuguese Nani, Argentine Paulo Dybala or Colombian Radamel. Falcao made the offer. Vinicius, for example, scored two goals.
There were also three French world champions: David Trezeguet, who was crowned in 1998, as well as Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi, who are still defending the title with the Blues. Today without a club, the two French internationals seized the opportunity to get back on their feet before setting out once again for a new challenge.
But this meeting was above all a good way to see the faces of the former famous players, now retired. Hairy and smiling Carlos Valderrama, eccentric Rene Higuita, skinny Cafu and Rivaldo, not forgetting Patrick Kluivert and Diego Lugano: they all played the match and had a good time. Even former basketball player Steve Nash, a huge football fan and another special guest, went there with his goal on a festive and unusual evening.
