Gervinho, the Ivorian striker from AS Roma, humorously compared himself to Usain Bolt during an interview on Rai Sport. He jokingly remarked, “I go faster than Bolt with the ball. But without a ball, he would obviously be faster than me.” Gervinho also discussed his team’s performance in a recent match, expressing satisfaction with their victory and his own goals.
This playful comparison to Bolt follows in the footsteps of Gabonese footballer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who had previously joked about being faster than the Jamaican sprinter. Such remarks are typically made in jest and serve to add a lighthearted touch to interviews and conversations within the football community.
