Kallon: from Zero to Hero

After series of criticisms by many Sierra Leoneans, Mohamed Kallon has again proved himself to be Sierra Leone's most prolific and sensational footballer with Greek outfit AEK Athens where he became a real hero after scoring the fourth goal for his side when they trashed FC Paok 4-0 during a league game of the Greek football season.

The 28 year Sierra Leonean soccer genius was described as amongst the best goal scorers in Europe this season.

Kallon who came as a substitute in the 66th minute brought a high pack motivation to the team as his presence on the pitch was very instrumental and his passes and contribution in the game were very vital. He came close on three occasions but was denied by the visiting Paok shot stopper. He added another title for himself when he scored his second league goal for the season during their 4-0 victory. The Leone Stars Captain played with three of his team mates, Rivaldo, Georgius, and Blanco.

After minutes of classical ball possession Kallon received the ball with his inner right leg and displayed some dribbling skill on it before he finally tossed a left foot acrobatic shot over the less concentrated Paok goalkeeper.

The club managers who signed Kallon for a six month contract were very impressed with Kallon's performance.

"On his debut Kallon has given us a goal and now he has had another and he is very fit and always plays a high energy game for us this season. We hope he will stay with us on a long term deal,” his trainer enthused.

Meanwhile Mohamed Kallon's goal did not only mean a winning but also promoted his team from third position to the second and they have automatically qualified for the European Champions League next season if they win all their remaining games of the season.
