I'm just Antonio Cassano

Following the life of Italian, Antonio Cassano, was very different than  to examine the life of another footballers in general. Biography of footballers are usually very boring, full of stories of uniform, how the desire to achieve peak performance is everything. The journey of life is a story of dedication, concern, hard work, the life of 24 hours for football.
Cassano deconstruct all of it. He loves football and is one of the most talented players who came from Italy for his generation, but at the same time he saw the football just a part of life.She loves life itself above everything. Of course, life in the thought of Cassano.

Life for Cassano is to pursue personal pleasure: women, good food - junk food, and spend out his money. In the age of 26 years he claimed to have sex with 600 to 700 women. When the age of 12 years he had imagined having sex with basic school teachers. He admitted repeatedly secretly inserting women into his hotel room the night before the game. "Making love as much and eat: a perfect night," he admitted.

An Italian football commentators call Cassano, if he wants, have the potential to become the world's best players. Great physique, skill and technique, in addition have an amazing velocity. No wonder if Fabio Capello was attracted and took him to Real Madrid despite have reached 18 million pounds. Cassano 22 years old at the time.
 
But Cassano is the exception. He practices when his heart is relieved. Do not hesitate to argue with coaches, even opposing them. "If the day is too hot, I will play in the shade," he said as hinted behavior at will.

If you compete and managers are not satisfied with his performance, he did not hesitate to reply, "If not satisfied with me why don't you go to the field?" He also did not hesitate to pretend injured because of lazy play.

He admitted to not worry that his life as a football player had never won a trophy too. "The world is obsessed with success. As if we have to make sacrifices to achieve it. In the end we are just statistics. Cups come and go every year," he said.

"Unless we were Maradona or Pele, no one will remember us," he said dismissively. "The important thing to me is have a happy life and have money for my life".He said he did not want to change this approach. "At least I will only give 50 percent of potential  that i have,it's up to the club want to sign me or not."

It is amazing that the attitude expressed bluntly by Cassano did not dampen the football manager to sign. He currently plays for AC Milan. Maybe the football manager after seeing the potential of Cassano have a dream that they will be able to change the behavior of Cassano. If that's all they can do and Cassano fulfill the potential of greatness, what a gem is in their hands.

Or perhaps 50 percent of Cassano's capacity was enough for the managers. Or that 50 percent was actually enough for football. Cassano is not it also called for the Italian national team although not as astarting eleven?

For the world of football Cassano case may be a loss, the futility of talent, to enrich the repertoire of football. But to a large portrait of life, regardless of the agreed or not with the meaning of life is held  by Cassano, is really refreshing. Football is not everything but just a means to meet the another life necessities.
