The football game of the year is played and the new world champion
Hugo Lloris glees about his well-deserved title. Football fans all
over the world followed the finals between France and Croatia in
Moscow and cheered or grieved at the end. We at the sporting goods
manufacturer uhlsport would have greeted any winner with enthusiasm
because the goalkeepers of both national leagues were wearing gloves
from the current uhlsport AERORED Collection.

"For us it was the perfect constellation having two top
goalkeepers equipped by us and standing opposite each other with
their teams in the World Cup finals," uhlsport Director Melanie
Steinhilber says. "Each of us crossed the fingers of one hand for
Hugo Lloris and the fingers of the other for Danijel Subasic. Even
though only one could hold the World Cup trophy in their hands in the
end, for us both were absolute World Cup heroes."

While France's national team was included in many experts' group
of favourites before the world championship, Croatia's entry into the
finals was surprising for many. Both leagues shone with excellent
team performance in Russia, and with their parades the two
goalkeepers added a significant proportion to the exceptionally
positive tournament development. Being their most important working
equipment, Hugo Lloris and Danijel Subasic trust the goalkeeper
gloves by uhlsport. Thanks to their patented foams and innovative
cuts these gloves are some of the best in the world since decades.
