Sarhan celebrates the kings of goals and the creators of eternal joy.. from Benmbarak to En-Nesyri.
All elements of football, such as dribbling, passing, positioning, feinting, shooting, and tackling, are, despite their beauty and uniqueness at times, mere means to achieve the goal. The goal is the primary objective of the game, and it is the criterion for determining victory, lifting the trophy, and receiving medals. Therefore, attackers, especially the goal scorers, enjoy a prestigious status in their community, receiving praise, honors, and gold awards.
It is not only the explicit form of exaggeration that distinguishes the goal scorer from his teammates, but also the implied plural form. The goal scorer is the family name of a number of exceptional players who cover the entirety of the game's history, each with his own first name and a nickname derived from his scoring style, as well as the competition in which he excelled in that capacity. The top scorer of the league is not the same as the top scorer of the cup, and the World Cup top scorer is different from the top scorer of the World Cup U-20, the right-footed is not the same as the left-footed, and the bulldozer is different from the helicopter...

In terms of numbers, Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly the most prominent, as with his march towards a thousand goals, he has already etched his name deeply among the greats of the game for this millennium. The Madeira Rocket, as the boy is nicknamed, is indeed an earth-to-air missile. Besides what he does on the pitch, he once leaped vertically above everyone, players and history alike, and struck a header with the highest possible force, sending the ball into the net like a gentle meteor. On another occasion, he leaped horizontally, and with a sharp bicycle kick, he sliced through the density of the air, allowing the ball to pass through the void towards its known destination. These two goals alone are enough to immortalize his name high in the stadiums.
