TOPIC. FOOTBALL

I started playing football when I was only seven years old 10 years ago. I went to a church oratory and I started playing with my friends there. It was a great period but then we grew up. We went to a football club near my house some friends and I because we were too old for the oratory team it wasn't a very good club and we lost nearly every mat for three years. What made me leave however was a bad incident. My watch was stolen but no one in the club wanted to accept responsibility and so I got angry and I left. I decided to go to a team where some other friends of mine were playing. I still play for this club and I have had a lot of good and bad experiences. I can remember when we won the championship who years ago, I can remember when there was a ht on the pitch and we were expelled for a month! I can remembers a tournament in Spain. They are all important memories for me but perhaps the most vivid is a match I played in a few years ago. I was the goalkeeper and I saved lots of goals. Everybody paid me a lot of compliments and I felt great.

I have tried a lot of different position, I have played in defence, mid-field, on the wing because I' am a fast runner, but my place is between the goal posts.

I will continue playing for a few more years. Perhaps until I have a possessive girlfriend! I started playing because I wanted to be with my friends football, or any team game is important for socializing and it gives a certain sport discipline. I don't smoke, for example. I would recommend this sport to any young boy.

My favourite football team is juventus they have a black and white shirt. My favourite player is Cannavaro. I sometimes go to the stadium to see they play but it's very expensive. Football is very important in Italy!

Everything stops when the Italian national team plays! But I prefer to play rather than watch. It's a different emotion. I have to keep fit for training and the matches. I don't follow a specific diet.

I go running in my spare time and I like swimming but I haven't got enough time to do much else.
