Appreciate It!!





Do you know who the guy in this photo is? All boys suppose to know. This is a well-known football player around the globe, Cristiano Ronaldo.In this post, I’m not going to comment on his football skills, attitude or salary that he receives. So, what is this post about??Well, I’m going to reveal on how to appreciate a football match on the TV.
Here are several methods to engage yourself in the game and sport from the serenity of tour living room. To begin with, study about the countries/clubs that are in action, as well as their history, custom and current political situation. Which countries/clubs have particular conflict with each other? I would say Manchester United and Chelsea. Usually in the World Cup, colonies are eager to score against the country they gained independence from.



Next, scrutinize the touch of the players. Can they dominate the ball in the air in a single touch and then instantly be ready to shoot or pass? Do they control the ball in anticipation of what they want to do next? Can they avoid defender, shield the ball, and find an open teammate? Concentrate on set pieces, such as free kicks and corner kicks which commonly results in goal.


What is more, recognize the key players. While watching the match, observe their moves .Try to pick out individuals and understand their roles in the match. Players like Fernando Torres of Spain/Liverpool, Michael Ballack from German/Chelsea and Ronaldinho of Brazil/AC Milan are among the well-known key players. They run the show for their squad. In addition, point out the future stars.Commonly,there is new young player that breaks through and light up in the World Cup,for instance Cristiano Ronaldo(Portugal),Lionel Messi(Argentina) and Wayne Rooney(England).






Well, I think that’s all for now. We will analyze three more ways to make watching football match more valuable and meaningful. To bo continued…
