INTRODUCTION:
In this project I'm talking about my favorite sport, football. I'm going to tell you something about this amazing sport and I'm going to talk about one of my favourite players (Ronaldo). I like football because I started play when I was very young and my passion is enormes. My grandad love football and he explain me the mistakes...I like Ronaldo because was and is a great player now it's worse but then he was the best football player in the world.
A PROFILE OF THE ESPORT
Football has existed since 1863, but its origins are more than 1563 years old. It started in England, but now there are clubs all over the world. It is the most popular emotional sport in the world.The biggest international football competition is the World Championship, which started in 1928. Football also became an Olympic sport in 1900.One of my favorite competitors is Ronaldo. Ronaldo became world champion in his class in 2002. He was the the forth Brazilian man to win a golden trophy at the championships.
BIOGRAPHY OF A FAMOUS PLAYER
Ronaldo was born on 22nd September, 1976, in Bento Ribeiro, Brazil.
He started playing football - like so many Brazilians - on the street with his friends. But fortunately for Brazil, he was one of the lucky ones who was discovered, and he joined the local club at 14. Ronaldo left PSV and joined Barcelona in 1996, where he had another excellent season scoring 34 goals in 37 games. In 1996 and 1997 he won the FIFA world player of the year, becoming the youngest ond only player to win the award twice. Then Ronaldo moved on for Inter Milan where he stayed until 2002 when he moved to Real Madrid, Barcelona's arch rivals.
At the start of your career you changed your name from Ronaldinho to Ronaldo then a few years later a certain goofy young Brazilian did the opposite. Why all the confusing name changing?
I’ve never changed my name. It has always been the same. My family name is Ronaldo, so when I was younger I was called Ronaldinho, which means “little Ronaldo”. But when I got older, it just became Ronaldo.
Who’s the greatest defender for you?
Paolo Maldini is the best I’ve played against.
Apart from your home, what’s the most expensive item you’ve ever bought?
I don’t spend much, I’m not stuck with material goods. Sometimes I buy a clock but after a week I’ve forgotten about it. So I can’t really answer because I’m not interested in luxury. It’s not what’s important.
What do you plan to do once you retire?
I'm looking forward to stay out, to relaxing, enjoying the life and not having any more commitments or deadlines. I love to think that when I retire I won’t have any clock in my life any longer. That will make me happy. And the most important think is: I stay with my family.
