One Short of A Thousand Dreams for Romario
Romario scored his 999th goal with Vasco de Gama against Flamengo in their 3-0 win at Maracana stadium.
Romario’s goal came on the 79th minute and was supposed to score his 1000th goal on the 87th count if not for the heroic save of Flamengos goalkeeper.
Good for Romario as he only needs one goal for a historic; not so good because he wished he could score that goal at Maracana. His next game would be against Americano at Sao Januario stadium on Wednesday.
Romario said he would want to ask club president Eurico Miranda to move the game at Maracana; although, he said his goal would be important and historic where ever it happens.
The only doubt I have is the accuracy of his goal output as he needed to hire three statisticians to count and monitor all his goals which includes goals scored from junior, testimonial and friendly games.
