Soccer Passion

Every Friday at 6 am is my luckiest day of the week because this is the time of the kick off. It is hard to describe the feeling when I hear the whistle and realize that this is it, the game starts now!

The first touch on the ball feels like magic and I realize that this is my show and I need to give the audience something back for their support. Also, when I hear their clapping I instantly get more power and start to work harder.

I want to utilize the ball to the maximum and contribute as much as possible in order to lead my team to the victory. I will never let the passion disappear. On the run with the ball into opponent’s half side of the pitch making a counter attack I want to perform all various moves and hear the clapping of the audience.

I give everything and when a goal is conceived through my efforts and contribution I feel satisfied and happy. But when I score a goal by myself, I feel on top of the world and realize how much I love this sport. With these dreams and passion for the game I practice hard every day to reach my greatest goals of the game.
