Bony obediently lowered his head and used his hand to wipe clean the Nike shoes covered in grass scraps on his knee, then picked up the shoes and gave them a deep kiss — this devout gesture also made Tang Long quite emotional.
In his career up to now, he experienced having his shoes cleaned by teammates twice.
Besides Bony, the last time was at Inter Milan when Gualin cleaned his shoes.
Both Gualin and Bony have a common trait, they both once harbored resentment towards Tang Long due to the threat of losing their positions to him, showing hostility!
But in the end, both became the biggest beneficiaries of Tang Long's brilliant performances and were deeply impressed by his exquisite skills, so they conducted the shoe-cleaning act — the highest form of respect on the field.
Compared to Gualin, who cleaned his own shoes after scoring, Bony's act was even more commendable.
