When he left for Qatar only a few knew why he had to take such a step. But we now know that the petrol-dollar was the attraction, not the style of play.
Okocha himself confessed as much to this fact when he returned to where he took off from, England.
Do you know the reason he gave for returning back to the true home of the game?
Our friend just realised that the big acceptance of his favourite toy (Ball ) was not there among the forks at the Arabian desert.
He was playing to an empty stand week-in and week-out.....
As the entertainer he is, Okocha missed the cheering crowd of soccer enthusiasts he left behind in old England.
What a shame!
They all go on pursuing the dollars as if that is the only thing to life.
What about our dear David the conqueror of Real Madrid?
For sometime now he has not been able to play and the crowd in California are getting dejected by this big money buy who could not give them their money worth after such a long wait for him to come to God's own country where the people are just begging to appreciate the game of soccer.
The players should now learn to stay where the appreciation is instead of going about with a long nose for the dollars.
Ask Gudjohnson about his hard luck at Barca. Go on ask Reyes, ask so many other players who are now regretting leaving where they were really appreciated for their talents and went after money.
Nonetheless, l want to welcome Jay Jay the magician back home.
We look forward to seeing those dribbles once again.
Sikirulai Olukayode Kazeem.
