In football unfortunately we have learned to judge people very quickly, hastily and often harshly, sometimes based on football clich\u00e9s that have become our experience. One of those such clich\u00e9s is that a player on loan is not really committed because he is waiting for the moment when he will return to his club.<\/p>\n

After the PAOK vs. Aris<\/strong> match, this is a rationale that we should all think twice about before uttering it. The match entered its 60th minute when Bertolio<\/strong> raced clean through on goal, and with only Paschalakis<\/strong> to beat he lobbed the ball over the Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> goalkeeper. The ball sailed agonizingly from the boot of the Aris<\/strong> player towards goal. The home side seemed destined to go 2-0 up, but it was at that moment that Moussa Wague <\/strong>appeared.<\/p>\n

The Senegalese<\/strong> sprinted towards his own goal and lunged at the ball, managing to clear it off the line. However, as he made that goal-saving intervention, his trailing leg got stuck in the turf and he crashed into the post.<\/p>\n

The result shocked everyone. Wague<\/strong> lay in a crumpled heap, writhing in pain. The Aris<\/strong> medical staff who were closest to the scene at the time rushed to help the player. The results of the medical examinations that followed showed that Wague<\/strong> badly injured his knee in multiple places in his effort to stop a goal.<\/p>\n

And for this very reason, it was decided that December’s<\/strong> PAOK TV Play of the Month<\/strong> competition would not be put to a poll, and instead be awarded directly to the player as a show of appreciation. It is the least we can do as a thank you.<\/p>\n

We wish you a good and quick recovery Moussa<\/strong>. We can’t wait to have you back with us, stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

Log in <\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to your PAOK TV account and relive Moussa’s <\/strong>heroics.<\/p>\n
