It will take time for Adjustment- Usain Bolt
” Pastly i have never felt this much nervous because this game is a bit different. This is Football. It will take some time for adjustment but when ill get to play some matches, ill make myself comfortable. My biggest dream has been to play for Manchester united in English Premier League. If Dortmund feels, that i’m worth a player, then im ready to go through an intense training schedule,” Bolt said.
Usain Bolt may be fast at the field, he may be an ideal man for counter attacks on the opposition. But playing against world’s best footballers, speed won’t make a difference. The Jamaican needs to be as skilful as others, if there is any chance of him playing for a professional football club. The journey won’t be this easy.
