Alexandre Lacazette Reveals How His Mom Stopped Him From Being A Goalkeeper


Alexandre Lacazette said he only became a striker because his mum thought it was less dangerous than being a goalkeeper.

“I did like playing in goal when I was young but my mum wasn’t very keen as she thought being a goalie was too dangerous,” he said.

“She said that I either played as a forward or not at all. Sometimes I was embarrassed for the opposition if there was a huge goal difference between the two teams but that didn’t happen all the time.”

“I suppose temperament wise, I was quite reserved. I still am. I just liked playing football with my friends.

“If we lost, of course I was sad. I used to cry at the slightest negative thing. Don’t worry, it’s changed now!”360nobs

The reigning Ballon d’Or winner netted the opener inside 12 minutes and added a second from the penalty spot after half-time to kick-start his side’s bid for a third straight European title. Ronaldo’s return could hardly have come at a better time for Madrid after striker Karim Benzema was ruled out for at least a month with a thigh injury. “He [Ronaldo] is the best in the world,” Zidane told beIN Sports after the match. “He is always there when we need him and he always scores.
