[QUOTE="T_G, post: 194506, member: 175083"] He is French but of Spanish origin (one of parents I think). P.S. One method to determine the origin of a footballer is going by his diving, his style has a lot of Spanish elements (see also Reyes). The experienced diving observer notes the excellent counter rotating hand movement whilst simultanious looking accusingly at rev when in mid air. After landing (if not going for the more difficult "I am dying as if shot rolling round on the ground routine") both hands are spread at 45° from body downwards, shoulders close to head. This position is held for at least 5 seconds for the required effect. The French diver prefers hands raised at a sharp angle upwards while running around, turning to ref and linesmen in fast 360° turns). Next week: Ivory Coast and Dutch diving styles discussed.:D [/QUOTE]
