And so the wise men had finally made it to the humble stable in Barcelona and they had found the chosen one. They greeted Jose Maria and Josep and explained that they had travelled a great distance to worship the chosen one. They had come bearing gifts to help Jose Maria with his quest. First Zinedine Zidane gave Jose Maria the gift of gold, the fabled Ballon d'Or, a golden football gifted to him for his football skills. Then Andrey Arshavin gave Jose Maria the gift of knowledge, by giving him ‘555 Questions and Answers on Women, Money, Politics and Football’ a book that he had written that was full of wisdom. Emmanuel Eboue was not sure what gift to give Jose Maria for all he had was a Belgian passport and that wasn't much use to Jose Maria. So he gave him the gift of his experience and told him all about his difficult times in London and how he had overcome his unpopularity to become a better footballer and more loved than ever. Jose Maria was very grateful for these gifts and thanked the Wise men. The Holy San Iker was very moved and he too pledged a gift, he gave Jose Maria the miraculous goalkeeping gloves that he had used in life on his path to sainthood. The angels joined the wonderful scene, singing a heavenly song and suddenly Jose Maria began to glow with a heavenly golden light. At first he was worried and called out for Josep but he was soon comforted by his fiance's presence. After his long journey and all the things he had learned the gift of beautiful football had been bestowed upon Jose Maria and now he was ready to show the whole world. Not long after that magical night, he did show the world his wonderful gift and the people of Spain rejoiced that beautiful football was to reside in their country. Jose Maria gained many followers who took his gift all over the world and from then on he was known as "Guti" which means 'inventor of beautiful football.' Josep taught many people the way of 'tiki taka' Jose Maria's miraculous method of passing and movement that brought beautiful footnball and many beautiful trophies to their household and city.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! May all your festive football be beautiful!
