SOCCER

                                       By Pedro Ruiz

I started to play soccer at the age of three. I discovered it was great, when my grandmother started to watch a match and I watched it with her. My grandmother told me it was the best sport, so I started to practice it. My favorite position was a midfielder.

When I went to London, my mum entered me into the Chelsea training club. We trained every holiday week. In my first week I won the trophy of “BEST PLAYER”.I was playing much better. At the age of seven I had already won five trophy´s.

Then I started playing in a team called “EAGLES UNITED”. I had a lot of fun in that team. In the first tournament Eagles United passed to the final but we lost 6-2 against Fulham A. In Chelsea I kept on winning trophy´s. I finished with eight trophy´s. In the last week I played for Chelsea, I won two trophy´s. That was my best week at Chelsea F.C. When I was nine I entered to GLM soccer team, we trained all Friday´s.

Nowadays I still play soccer in GLM and I have improved a lot. Now my favorite position is a striker. With GLM we won against very difficult teams such as Nueva Granada and Nogales. Now my favorite soccer teams are REAL MADRID, MANCHESTER UNITED, INTER MILAN and NACIONAL.

I love soccer and I always will.
