5. Neymar defended his little fan
And our top opens up with PSG striker Neymar. We know that the Brazilian like to get involved in unpleasant stories and often not the most pleasant affairs while being emotional. And yet Ney is a man with a kind heart!
For example, in September 2018, in the French championship match against Rennais, in which the Parisians won 3: 1 away, the forward showed himself from the best side both on and off the pitch!
Firstly, Neymar was remembered for his assist, and then, leaving the pitch after the full-time whistle, he defended the little boy from the stewards.
The boy ran into the arms of his idol with tears in his eyes, but four staff people had already come after him, wanting to take the little violator off!
Neymar saw the boy and immediately asked the stewards to stop. The Brazilian himself returned the boy to the stands and gave him his T-shirt as a gift. The fans were delighted with such a simple, but very kind and sweet deed!
4. A fair play by Paolo Di Canio
Next we have Paolo Di Canio, a man with a very controversial reputation outside the pitch! The conflictuous Italian was often called a fascist, a Nazi, and even a schizophrenic, and he never missed an opportunity to start a conflict during the games! At the same time, Paolo knew how to shut all the haters with a single move.
By the time of 2000, at the end of the Everton – West Ham match, with the score 1: 1, the hammers player Frederic Kanoute jumped over “the toffees” goalkeeper Paul Gerrard, who then unsuccessfully stumbled and was injured. The referee didn’t pay attention to the matter, the game continued and Di Canio’s teammate quickly centered into the opponents’ box. However, instead of hitting an empty net and earning three points for West Ham, Paolo caught the ball with his hands and walked towards Gerrard, who was still lying on the lawn with an injury.
Goodison Park gave the Italian a standing ovation, and the game ended in a 1:1 draw.
The next year, Di Canio’s act was appreciated! The player won the FIFA Fair Play Award and received it in Zurich. Huge respect to the player!
3. Canceled goal of Daniele De Rossi
2. Carles Puyol stopped the fight
The second place goes to the legendary Barcelona defender Carles Puyol, who symbolizes fair play! 15 years ago, in a match between Barcelona and Mallorca, the Barcelona defender got a slap in the face from Sergio Ballesteros!
An angry Carles could have easily responded to the offender, but instead of retaliating aggression, he himself decided to prevent the conflict! Puyol’s teammate Ronaldinho decided to stand for his friend, but it was the Spanish centre back who stopped the Brazilian! Puyol decided that he would answer Ballesteros with his play and final result!
And so it happened! Barcelona won 2-0 and Ballesteros was shown a red card. Isn’t it a rightful answer to a provocateur?
1. Jaba Kankava saves Oleg Gusev
First place at last! This story will definitely give you goosebumps, because in football there are rare episodes questioning a player’s life and death state! But that was exactly the case!
In March of 2014, Dynamo Kyiv and Dnipro played in the Ukrainian championship. In the 22nd minute of the match, Dynamo midfielder Oleg Gusev tackled goalkeeper Denis Boyko, who came out of the net, protruding his knee and hooked the forward’s head!
Gusev instantly fell unconscious on the lawn. Doctors of both teams ran to the rescue, but the fastest was Dnipro’s Georgian midfielder Jaba Kankava. The player ran to Gusev first and pulled the sunken tongue out of his mouth. After a couple of seconds, Oleg came to his senses again!
Doctors carried the Ukrainian away on a stretcher and diagnosed a concussion. Also that day, the footballer lost three teeth after a hard fall!
However, the worst thing imaginable was avoided, because Gusev could have died right on the pitch, if not for Kankava’s lightning-fast reaction.
