That gif is deceiving. This was not Eboue falling to the ground, it was Eboue pulling the ground up towards him.
And at the same time, saving Evra's life. There was in fact a cloud of Anthrax spores in the air. He destroyed them by jumping on them and saved young Patrice.
Is that Vermaelan in post #1? He saw the immense greatness of Eboue and just had to join forces. I for one am jealous of not getting such an opportunity.
