While the FIFA World Cup 2014 has captivated the entire world, music composer Bappi Lahiri surprises everyone with his recent song Love for Football. Apparently, the music maestro has done this before as well. The last song on football that he composed was called Football Fever Bole Ole Ole in 2010. This time he expresses his love for the game as he juggles footballs in the official video. While the video is not out yet, Lahiri is creating a buzz by posting pictures of himself with footballs.

“I have made this song as a football lover. Since childhood I have been watching the game and it is the third time I have made a football song,” said Lahiri. The famous pop musician also revealed that he is supporting Spain and his all-time favourite player is Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, reported ENI.

When asked if he believes in any superstitions that can make the team he supports win, he said: “Yes, I am very superstitious. From the semi-final match onwards, I keep changing places in my hall while watching the match, depending on which direction suits the most.”


Bappi also wishes for India to form a team soon and be a part of the next FIFA World Cup. “Seeing the clubs playing I hope soon India also forms their club soon and represent India internationally in the next FIFA World Cup,” reported the Deccan Chronicle.
