World champion Fernando Alonso looks set to follow in Michael Schumacher's footsteps by joining a local Swiss football team. The French language Swiss newspaper 24 Heures reports on Wednesday that the 26-year-old, who lives locally with his wife, last week practiced for the first time with Prangins FC; a third division club whose local pitch overlooks Lake Geneva. Alonso moved to Switzerland late last year, and now lives in a villa in Mont-Sur-Rolle - a mere kilometres from Schumacher's Swiss home. Seven time world champion Schumacher plays for FC Echichens; another Swiss third division club. A friend of Alonso's said: "His goal is to be able to play simply, first of all to stay in shape, and to play a sport at the heart of a team." Link |

I always wonder if Schumi or Alonso have to worry about some arsehole who would make a dangerous tackle on them and possibly break one of their legs. |
