Zapping Our Mondial Top 10: Most lucrative jersey sponsorship deals
Emmanuel Gyasi is a 27-year-old Ghanaian striker who has been playing for La Spezia since 2018. Promoted last summer in Serie A, he was able to fulfill one of his dreams this season: to face his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. Asked by Joy Sport, the player said: ” Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol, meeting him is a dream come true. I always dreamed of being able to play with him one day, but I didn’t think it would happen so soon. I remember the first game I saw him in. I went to see him, we talked a lot but unfortunately he couldn’t give me the jersey “. Gyasi is referring here to the match in the first leg of the championship in which his club lost 4 to 1, including a double from CR7. If he could not receive his jersey at the end of this meeting, he made up for it at the beginning of March.

When he’s on the pitch, Ronaldo is focused on his game and his determination takes precedence over the rest. But once the match is over, he does not hesitate to take time for his opponents, a good majority of whom admire the player. And this offers us touching statements like that of Emmanuel Gyasi who continues, always for Joy Sport :
“When he came up to me, hugged me and asked me how I was doing, I felt so happy. During the match I remember he was very nervous because we were playing well and the score was 0-0. At the end of the first half he threw the ball over the crossbar and I saw him enter the tunnel: that’s where I thought I would never have the jersey . But when I entered the locker room, I saw that he was waiting for me, I was shocked. After the game, we got together to chat. He’s an incredible player and a fantastic person. “
