MIKEL ARTETA SAYS IF HE WAS NOT A FOOTBALLER HE WOULD HAVE PLAYED TENNIS.

 The Spaniard Mikel Arteta who plays his club football with Arsenal , has said he was deep in thought at the young age of fifteen  whether to choose between Football and Tennis . And I think he has made the correct choice , and the footballing world are the happy winners here.
 He played early in France  with the P.S.G club , and guess who was his mentor there ? He was none other than Ronaldinho , but he humbly admits that he could not do half the tricks and kicks that Ronaldinho did..
 Later Ronaldinho  joined Barcelona and Mikel Arteta joined Everton.And then joined Arsenal.
 I am reminded of another famous footballer who faced the same problem, he is the Uruguayan  striker Diego Forlan, who in his early years wanted to play pro tennis.
