Chain-Quizzing (c)TheHardTackle continues with another round, this similar to Quiz-16 as far as format and points go. All the best.
Question 1:
When ‘A’ signed for this particular English Club, it was the costliest transfer for the club at that time. ‘A’ was a terrific talent at that time and played some attractive football before he complained about life in England. A loan move happened to his native country club in three years. And a year later, he joined their native-rivals. He played one year at Portugal on loan.
Question 2:
Once, ‘B’ was used as an exchange in a loan deal, with ‘A’. ‘B’ now plays in an Italian club and is quite regular with his national team. He was part of the historical penalty-shootout against his former club, his team losing that match in the end.
Question 3:
Once a prolific midfielder for a top Spanish club, ‘C’ managed another Spanish club while ‘B’ was part of it. ‘C’ retired from International football at the age of 24 due to some club and country dispute. He is currently managing a Turkish football club.
Question 4:
‘D’ was Europe’s best player the year in which ‘C’ won the Silver Ball (or the second best player). ‘D’ has represented his country 95 teams managing to net 45 goals in those matches. He is one of the legends of his native club that he played for. He played 3 years in an Italian club, the sale to which was a record in those days. A British Pop duo had recorded a song as a tribute to ‘D’.
Question 5:
‘E’ played 3 years in the club ‘D’ ended his club career at. ‘E’ is his country’s all-time leading goal-scorer and captain now. He played three years at a German club, scoring the highest number of goals in the first year he completed there. He now plays for a local club in his country. He has scored two goals in the 2006 Fifa World Cup.
