FERNANDO GAGO: POETRY IN MOTION

[jenni_blog]

Fernando Gago has that ability to make you want to grab him, hold him in your arms and squish him. His moves on the pitch are incredible, and if you look carefully at each and every picture of him in action, he looks fantastic in stop motion, no matter what he is doing. His allure is fascinating. And he is only 22!!!! So feast your eyes. These pics are really good.

A teaser:

I wanted a photo of his shot on goal, and here it is. Look at the way he holds his arms, his hands. And the positions of his feet. He is always so poised. It's almost as if he dances out there.

OMG, you are so right about Gago and Cesc! They are rare players and so utterly watchable and beautiful on the pitch that they take your breath away.

LOL. I saw this article this morning. The writer says that his impression of Gago was that he was like Legolas of LOTR. Here's the link - hope it works.XD

Gago is so graceful and balletic in action (part of his girliness I guess) that I can see how people would think he was a Tolkien Elf. LMAO.

I think that Fer is going to be a very big star, yet he is so 'unstarlike' and I hope he stays that way.
