Kozhikode – When he saw the stomach of the person who came to drink tea, a person in the shop joked: ‘Don’t take that ball out. Let Neymar take a touch’. After passing that comment which angered the stomach fan who is a Messi fan, the whole tea shop was buzzing as the others went out to score a goal. This is the daily situation at K. Sreejith’s tea shop at Chembakamtha on Puthyapalam Mooriyad Road with the excitement of the Porvili..Qatar World Cup.
Sreejith, a football player and fan of Brazil, created a background for the heated discussion by pasting flex of the Brazilian team including Neymar on one wall of the tea shop and 16 football players including Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Thomas Muller on the other side. The workers of the adjacent warehouse were gathered in the tea shop in the guise of football fans, sharing stories about the Qatar World Cup and passionately arguing for the world football teams. The dispute over the jerseys of Brazil and Argentina will heat up.
Sreejith has been fond of football since childhood and was a member of the football team while studying at Chalappuram Govt Boys School. Later he played in Zamothiri School Ground, Corporation Stadium, Beach on Sundays and many tournaments. He became a big fan of the Brazil team after watching the World Cup football match. His father, Muralidharan, has been running the tea shop at Puthyapalam for 53 years. If my father goes home in the afternoon, Sreejith will run the shop.
