The Madrid "Ace" started to reveal the truth, claimed that Lionel Messi is not the record holder with 86 goals in one calendar year and warned about the Zambian football player Godfrey Chitala.
He allegedly performed a miracle in 1972 (the same year when Gerd Müller scored 85 goals) - he scored 197 goals...
Where is the problem? It's about Chitalu's record being known to the Football Association of Zambia, but unknown to the international scene...
"We have that record. It is recorded in our football, but not in international football. While the world is talking about the records of Messi and Miller, we are having a debate about why Chitalu's goals are not recorded," the FC of Zambia points out.
The investigation, according to the Africans, has begun.
"We have put together a group of people who will research the archives and record the minutes and goals scored by Godfrey. After that, we will send the notes to the African Football Organization, and then to FIFA. We want the world to see that Chitalu is a real record holder," emphasizes the spokesperson of FC Zambia.
Information about Citalu exists on Wikipedia, but, in addition to the clubs he played for, it only says that he scored 76 goals for the national team. He was born in 1947 and died in 1993 when he was going to the World Cup qualification match in Senegal with the national team of which he was the coach.
The plane they were traveling in then crashed and fell into the sea, killing 30 people...
