Gaizka Mendieta: Practice makes perfect
How does an elite middle distance runner become an elite footballer? How does a guy who can't trap a ball become European Midfielder of the Year - twice? How does that player adapt his penalty technique to become - very nearly - perfect? Gaizka Mendieta says this: "My talent was learning. I wanted to learn." It's the bedrock of his story but this also includes The Doors and Lou Reed, maybe the best under-21 tournament ever, maybe the best goal ever, maybe the best cup run ever - and loads more. I hope you like it.
