There are many things players do before a match. At the Russia World Cup 2018, some of the football stars were seen doing crazy things that left many amazed.
This has become important for these stars as it helps them play their football well. Here is what footballers do before every match:
NeymarThe Brazil star talks to his dad just before any match. This could be face to face or via a phone call. He believes this helps him calm down and also boosts his confidence. His father is always present in his football career.
Luis SuarezThe Uruguayan has always been seen kiss his wedding ring and his wrist before a match. More so, when he scores, he is always seen kissing his wrist which has a tattoo of his children.
Cristiano RonaldoThe Portugal star always gets a haircut before any match. He always does this even when the time gap between matches is three or two days.
Javier HernandezThe Mexico star has always been seen praying before matches. This has been a ritual for his family since his father too used to do the same before a match.
Mesut OzilThe German forward always recites the Holy Quran before a match. No one disturbs him when he is doing his ritual as it has always been important to him. He gains faith from the Almighty that he can win and he will win.
Thibaut CourtoisThe Belgium goalkeeper has an amazing ritual. He wets the fingertips of his cloves before a match. He also hits his shoes at the right post, left post and then the middle of the goal. This has always been a ritual he does to make him stable in the posts.
Phil JonesThe England defender has always been last to put on his shirt and also arrive at the field. When his team is playing at home, he puts on his left sock first and when his team is playing away he puts on his right sock. More so, he has always avoided the white lines on the pitch.
