Football star Cannavaro says size doesn't matter

PHNOM PENH (AFP) — Italian World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro on Monday reassured Cambodia's diminutive players that size was no barrier to success.

"Size has never been a problem for me," Cannavaro, 38, told reporters in the capital Phnom Penh during a visit to boost the profile of the beautiful game in the Southeast Asian country, currently ranked 170th in the world by FIFA.

Asked his advice for Cambodian footballers who are often shorter than their rivals, Cannavaro, who at 1.76 metres (5 foot 9) is small for a defender, said it was a question of mentality rather than height.

"I was strong inside my head," the 2006 World Player of the Year said.

"I was strong inside my head,". If every Cambodian take Fabio Cannavaro's message seriously,you could achieve a lot of thing in life not just foot ball.

In real life too,small countries are doing well than big countries in economy and many other aspect of life.

Be your self.
