No Cuddle Buddy for You
In the rollercoaster world of Italian soccer, emotions run high and friendships are put to the test. Lazio defender Abdoulay Konko and his goalkeeper are wrapped in a triumphant hug, basking in the joy of an opponent’s missed goal.
On the flip side, the rival forward finds solace not in teammates but in an inanimate object—yes, the goalpost. He wraps his arms around it as if it’s the friend that won’t let him down. It’s a poignant, hilarious snapshot that captures the essence of sports: you’re a hero one moment, left hugging a pole the next. The highs are sky-high, the lows, well, find you embracing whatever’s nearest.
