by

If you are a football fan, you are eagerly waiting for this day. OR December 26th it’s… mystique. Ball during the holidays. All England on the pitches from North to South. And yet, who said that preparing for the great, Boxing Dayis it so much fun for everyone?

THE Jamie Carragher she remembered that every time she was getting ready to leave the house to meet up with the rest of her family Liverpool and to be on the field, the temptations were great: “Everyone said to me, ‘Well, drink a glass, you won’t get hurt.’ And I always answered “I have a fight”. I didn’t mind that much, the truth is”.

On his part, Mr Ian Wright from the time he flourished in Arsenalhe remembered: “Whenever you drive to the meeting point with the team, there is no one on the roads. Everything is beautiful. And when you meet people, everyone greets you, even the opponents. But when you get to the training ground to start, then you’re just part of the whole that has to focus on the game.”.

Her former porter Newcastle, Shay Given, had to say: “I was always looking to find out if we played home or away on Boxing Day and for about 7 or 8 years we played away all the time. It was like a curse”!
