The possibility of hearing these two names is probably very high even if you are not a soccer fan. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. These two players are the most famous and the best players in the world of today. Messi has won 4 Ballon d'Or from 2009 to 2013 which makes him the player with the most Ballon d'Or. The Ballon d'Or is the award given to the best player of the year in soccer. This year it was Cristiano Ronaldo that won it. Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo are so popular that they make over 17 million euros in a year. As you can see, they are stunning soccer players and are so lucky to make an enormous amount of money. I wish I could make that much money but I am not an amazing as them. Messi and Ronaldos' kids are very fortunate to have dads that are super popular and can support them financially. My dream is to be a surgeon doctor. I mean, I could make a lot of money but definetetly not as much as Messi and Ronaldo. I love soccer but not to the extent to become a professional player. I enjoy writing about it because it's what I watch most of the time and my brother and I play it 24/7. Also, we watch Messi and Ronaldo's tricks and movements on the internet and practice almost 3 hours each day.
Pelé and Ronaldo are former Brazilian football players who are well known as the greatest players in history. There is also the popular Argentinian player, Diego Maradona and another Brazilian sportsman, Ronaldinho, who are legendary players and are very well remembered to this day. Easily understood, Brazil has had many incredible players and those players helped them climb up to the top with the most world cups. Brazil is not my favorite team but they are truly wonderful. They work really hard together and always try to maintain their reputation since they are not really the richest country in the world. Therefore, they are very kind and diligent about their careers.There are many other popular and great players in the world such as, Gareth Bale, Wayne Rooney, Franck Ribéry, Arjen Robben, Marco Reus, Miroslav Klose, Thomas Muller, David Beckham, Neymar Jr, etc. One of my favorite athletes is Arjen Robben. He is super fast and has a terrific control on the ball. Speed is always important in soccer so the others won't catch up to you. One second can make a huge difference in a game. Another player who I admire is Neymar Jr, Neymar holds the heart of many ladies, including mine, because of his good looks and cute smile but unfortunatetly he has a wife and a kid. Neymar is only twenty three years old. Becoming a professional soccer player at twenty three is unbelievable. Well in my eyes that is. I hope my brother could do that because soccer is his passion too and he is excellent at it.
Ibrahimović is another notorious athlete in the world of soccer. He held the record of the farthest bicycle kick in the world at 30 m away from the goal. There is no absolute proof that he held the farthest one in the world, but it is never heard of a farther kick than his. My
Ibrahimović is another notorious athlete in the world of soccer. He held the record of the farthest bicycle kick in the world at 30 m away from the goal. There is no absolute proof that he held the farthest one in the world, but it is never heard of a farther kick than his. My
thoughts are that 30 meters away from the goal is absolutely astonishing and seems impossible to do but Ibrahimović did it. That goal is a great event that happened because now many people will try to beat his record. It gives them courage and determination to surpass him. Also, I'm pretty sure this occasion will stay in history since Ibrahimović was the first one to do such a far goal. Certainly he is proud of himself. That look and feeling of being proud and satisfied helps me gain the courage and determination like everyone else when I am having hard times, when I need to push myself so the others can acknowledge me when they think I can't do something.

I really enjoyed reading this blog Mona! I am also a fan of the sport and reading facts about my favourite player, Lionel Messi was very interesting. I also like reading this post because I dont know that much about older players like Pele and learning about them is very interesting. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteJust like Zidane, I could kind of relate to his situation. I got a red card last year for swearing on the field. It was such an embarrassment, and I was so ashamed. Anyways, I like your blog Mona. I play soccer but I do not keep up with the pro league, so this is pretty cool to read. Looking forward to your next blogs.
