Beautiful free kicks make us surprised!

In a soccer game, there are some ways to get a lot of goals. One of them is a free kick. It is divided into two kinds of kicks. One is the free kick that a player kicks a ball and the other players are able to get a goal if they manage to touch it. That is what we call an indirect free kick. In other words, the player who kicks a ball first is not able to get a goal. This free kick has a little influence on a game. On the other hand, there is the free kick that is able to have a major influence on it. In brief, the result of it can change into a good game or a bad game whether the player who kicks a ball will be able to succeed in the free kick or not. That is what we call a direct free kick. However, there are few players who are able to succeed in the all direct free kicks in the world. As far as I know, some players are called "great free kickers". So, I am going to introduce them to you in order to check that the fact is true.



First, I am going to talk about an English player. His name is David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE. He belongs to Associazione Calcio Milan s.p.a in Serie A. He plays as a midfielder in the team. To tell the truth, he is not very good at using all the techniques that midfielders usually have. However, he is one of the best players that are able to get a goal by making use of a direct free kick. So, he is looked up to as a great player.



Second, I am going to talk about an Italian player. His name is Alessandro Del Piero. He belongs to Juventus Football Club s.p.a in Serie A. He plays as a forward in the team. Though he is 34 years old, he has been able to get a lot of goals for years because he has some ways to get a goal. They are a direct free kick, a little long shot, and so on. I think that he will be able to go on getting many goals thanks to his techniques.



Third, I am going to talk about a Japanese player. His name is Shunsuke Nakamura. Though I introduced him to you before on my blog, I am going to write about him again. He belongs to Celtic Football Club in Scottish Premier League. He plays as a midfielder in the team. He is very famous for two direct free kicks in which he succeeded in the UEFA Champions League that was held in 2006. Also, he is very good at passing a ball, so he is able to show his techniques to a lot of people in the world more and more. I would like him to play as long as he can because I am very proud of him as a Japanese player. (505 words / 11737 words)

The first article I post in this year

Good morning! Then, I wish you a Happy New Year! If there are the people who read the articles of my blog day after day last year, I think that I would like them to go on doing it. Though I started to write my blog harder from last April, I was not able to do it because I did not think of a lot of ideas that I should introduce to you. I was not also good at doing my homework such as essays. So, it was very hard for me to write something. It is strange for me to be able to keep on doing it because the feeling does not change now. Anyway, I will continue to improve my blog, so I would like you to watch it for a long time. Also, I have three goals in this year except my blog. Therefore, I am going to show them to you.

First, I am going to increase the opportunity of driving a car. I got a driver's license last February. However, I do not often drive. It is because I would not like to do it. Generally speaking, a lot of people who got the license want to go out to drive as soon as they can. It is because they are able to arrive at their destinations earlier than walk or have a ride on my bicycle. And it is important for the people who have the license to be able to make use of cars because they can carry a lot of goods when they go shopping. In spite of some advantages, there is a reason why I do not drive. It is because I am afraid of my causing traffic accidents. Of course, I took all courses in a driving school, passed the test, and received the driver's permit. Though they are true, I do not have the confidence that I can drive a car safely. I think that I have to drive a car again and again in order to improve my ability to do it. So, I would like to use my car without thinking a lot of things.

Second, I am going to go outside to exercise a lot. Though I do not have enough time to do it, I have to move. It is because I know that I have put on weight little by little. I have the time to ride on my bicycle for going to school, but it is not enough. I think that I have to play soccer or baseball on weekends in order to increase the time to exercise.

Third, I am going to study harder to brush up my ability to use English. Of course, I have a lot of things that I have to do in order to finish my homework to get credits. However, I entered this university to get a lot of knowledge and to know how to use them. So, I am going to study more and more and get a better grade on TOEIC.

I think that it is very important for me to fix goals in the beginning of a new year, so I will achieve these goals. (531 words / 11232 words)
