My favourite sport is football. Three years ago I started to go in for football in a sports club not far from my home. Since then football has been my favourite sport.
Actually, football is very popular in many countries all over the world. Football is a team sport. The responsibility for victory or defeat lies with each member of the team. Football cultivates team spirit, unity and will to win. Last year we won the cup at the regional competitions. It is so wonderful when there is someone to share your success with.
I enjoy playing football because I feel support of others. There is no place for envy and rivalry in your own team. We all progress and move forward together. Our team is very close. By the way, thanks to football I found so many good friends. We are friends not only on the field but outside of it as well.
As a football player I have real football boots and a uniform. Most of the time I take the position of a forward. However, our coach likes to swap our roles. I think this is a good idea that helps us develop and learn faster.
I am a fan of many talented football players. So, I am fond of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane. I have also watched football matches with the legends of the world football – Pelé and Diego Maradona. I think that there are a lot of good players among Russian footballers, too. I like Andrey Arshavin and Yuri Zhirkov.
I love watching football championships. Once my father and I went to the stadium to watch our local football club’s game. It was unforgettable! I hope that one day I will be able to watch a more significant football match and maybe meet some football celebrities.
