Did anyone notice how Henry carressed Ribéry's cheek in last night's match France vs. Italy?
He closed his eyes against the blinding pain.
Please Allah please…
He had to win. Losing this game, going home in shame, wasn’t an option.
Please Allah please…
He focused his entire being on this simple mantra, imploring Allah to make this undone, to take away his crippling pain. To let him lead his team to victory.
He opened his eyes as soft fingers brushed his cheek. With just one glance, one more gentle caress, his captain freed him of his heavy burden, taking the responsibility to win onto himself.
Franck closed his eyes again.
Thank you Allah thank you…
