Mesut interviewed by a kid - again!!!

Many of us sure remember and love this and this, and whoo hoo, here is another instance of Mesut being awkwardly adorable around children!

"Logo" is German news program for kids. They interviewed Mesut before the 2010 World Cup and, well... they did it again.
"Kid reporter" Charlotte challenges him for a game of kicktip (who else remembers kicktip?? or is it a German thing???) and asks some questions we've heard before... but watch it to the end, you will not be disappointed!!!

A Look Back At A Favourite Moment: Mesut's Assist to Emmanuel Adebayor Against Racing Santander!

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

They had a very good connection on the pitch for the 3 and a half months that Adebayor was in Madrid in 2011. Some of Mesut's more brilliant assists came for him.

But this was my favourite of the year - and my favourite of Madrid's goals in the 2010-11 season - and the reasons should be obvious.

Gorgeous, isn't it. That's Mesut on the left exchanging the quick passes with Adebayor and skipping past the entire Racing defence before squaring.

This was the first game Mesut ever "headlined" - Ronaldo was injured and he stole the show away from home in a game we were expected to struggle in. He was featured in a piece on the Real Madrid website the next day with a dozen headlines quoted to show how "Ozil's Magic Sweeps The World!"

It's also the game where Ray Hudson (in ecstasies over this goal!) said he had seen pictures of Mesut's house and "he only has the big television and the video games...he's like that nice little kid you have next door, who just wants to play football..."

The approving tone when Ray noted he seemed to have no outside interests (based on his house!) was comical. Ray Hudson was a football coach. I think a slightly single-minded boy like Mesut would have appealed to Ray Hudson! He would have loved coaching him. Ray probably never had time for complicated intellects on a football team with outside interests. It was bad for morale!

I have two more gifs...

( Beautiful goal... )
