Bono and his peculiar ‘bet’ with Cristiano Ronaldo’s son

Yassine Bono is already one of the stars of the Saudi league, the leader’s goalkeeper, the one with the fewest goals scored and the one who has kept the most clean sheets. The Moroccan gave an interview to the account DavooXeneizeJRR in which he talks about Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and of course the team that has had the most impact on him during his career, Sevilla. “Sevilla was my great love. With everything: the place, the people… I needed time to adapt everywhere I went but at Sevilla I felt at home from the first day.”

A renowned fan of River Plate and Argentine football, Bono had words of praise for Lionel Messi: “He is the most difficult player I have ever faced. He suddenly appeared in the area and scored a goal for me. The game has lost a lot of features and technique. I don’t want to say that it no longer attracts viewers, but “There is no longer the passion to see a specific player as there was before with Messi.”

“We will miss Messi, there will be no footballers like him. Football has changed a lot in general. I mean that the players have declined technically, not physically. It is true that currently they are better tactically and in some other things, but the type of players for which you pay an entrance fee or travel to see them has become very strange”, adds the goal.

Bono has Messi’s shirt at home, but it wasn’t easy: “I asked him for it one year, but he had already given it to another player. The following year there were 30 seconds left until the final whistle and at the last corner I told him: ‘Remember, remember the shirt.’ After the game we exchanged them and I told him that I had another one, from Newell’s Old Boys, and that I wanted him to sign it for me. Unfortunately I couldn’t, because it is difficult to get into the locker room. Éver Banega ended up signing it for me.”

For Yassine, “Cristiano, Suárez and Benzema are very good” too, and he tells the peculiar story with the son of the Portuguese star who now plays for Al Nassr: “I remember that Cristiano scored four goals for me at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, and then of the match his son reminded me: ‘My father scored four goals for you.’ Now his son has grown up and is with him in Saudi Arabia. Recently he told me: ‘Bono, we’ll see when my father scores more goals for you.’
