Salut!

As you know, last week I was in Croatia with the rest of the team to play against Slaven Belupo. I was glad to visit Croatia so recently after Ivanisevic's wonderful victory at Wimbledon this year. I watched the final; it was so tense. I was glued to my seat. So much emotion - a deserved win by a very charismatic man.

It was scorchingly hot in Croatia, and the grass on the pitch was amazingly green. I lay on it after the game, which was small compensation as I was very disappointed not to have been in the starting line-up. I would have loved to have played from the start, especially as I feel super fit.

However, I came on toward the end of the game when Slaven Belupo were leading 1-0, and scored an equaliser with a fantastic goal. When I say fantastic, I mean it was a very satisfying one to score. I so much enjoy playing football, and I feel I have plenty to give. Unfortunately Slaven Belupo managed to get another goal in before the end.

Tomorrow is the return match, and we have to try and make up the 2-1 deficit. Come en masse - we'll be needing your support.

A bientôt,

David Ginola.
