Lazio might not have been at their best for the first fifteen minutes against Brescia, but they didn’t need a lot to get the better of the home side. 17 minutes in and Álvaro González has scored his first goal for Lazio, heading a Stephan Lichtsteiner cross into the bottom left corner. The goal was solid, but the real talking point here was the goal celebration. While many footballers do some variation of the boot-polishing routine, shining the shoe of the player who really made the goal possible, González whipped off his boot, typed in some numbers, and held it to his ear as if he were talking on the phone.
Brescia Vs. Lazio: Alvaro Gonzalez Scores First For Lazio, Uses Boot To Call Home
Say what, now?
Perhaps he’s just trying to one-up his Uruguayan compatriot, Edinson Cavani, who, after scoring his second goal against Roma on Saturday, mimed taking a swing with a golf club and watching the ball fly away. Or maybe González has simply discovered that the best reception for overseas calls is found in football boots.
