Summary/Abstract: In Šehić's book “Football stories”, there is a story of the same name, which, among other things, evokes old childhood memories from the year when the Netherlands won the European Football Championship. It was the year when Marko van Basten sent an unforgettable volley under the Soviet bar and it was the year when the unfortunate Mujo Hadžin ran into a ball that Šehić and his football brothers filled with stones, convinced that one of the boys from rival team will end up being the naïve victim kicking the ball. Within the description of Muja's shot and the break that followed - in those few sentences, it seems to me, the magic of Šehić's football storytelling is condensed, which unobtrusively and charmingly connects the glittering world of “Princes' Park” and the street in Donja mahala, where instead of the usual tripods four "šakaša" were sunbathing.
