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)

3 players will be more popular

I have watched a lot of soccer games on TV in this year. So, I keep in mind a lot of the players. In this year, I had a lot of times to watch the games in Premier League because they were broadcast many times. I think that one of the most famous leagues in the world is Premier League. Of course, there are a lot of famous players in this league. Though I have already introduced some players in the movies of my blog to you, I did not explain them in detail. Instead of them, I am going to show the players in Premier League who will be more famous among a lot of people in the world to you.



First, I am going to introduce a midfielder to you. His name is Francesc Fàbregas Soler. He is usually called "Cesc" by a lot of fans. He is from Spain and belongs to Arsenal Football Club. His position in the games is a central midfielder. He is very good at passing a ball and his view in games is broad. So, Arsenal is able to control a lot of games whenever he plays on the field. And he is 21 years old, so he will be able to play a big part in his team for a long time.



Second, I am going to introduce a forward to you. His name is Fernando José Torres Sanz. I often call him "Torres". He is also from Spain and belongs to Liverpool Football Club. His position in the games is a center forward. He is very strong and quick physically, so he is able to get a lot of goals. Though he is not able to take part in the games in Premier League because of his injury now, I believe that he will be able to get many goals after he returns to the field.



Third, I am going to introduce the other forward to you. His name is Nicolas Sebastian Anelka. I usually call him "Anelka". He is from France and belongs to Chelsea Football Club. To tell the truth, I had thought that he was not a good player because he did not play very well in the last season. However, he had some reasons why he was not able to bring out the best in him. One was the confusion over the difference of team. He became a member of Chelsea halfway through the last season, so it took him a lot of times to get used to this team. The other is the way to play him. He is a forward, but he played as a midfielder in the last season many times. Now, he plays as a forward, so he has got many goals. I am looking forward to his activity very much. (469 words / 10701 words)

The teams which I think that I would like to support know how to play soccer with making use of their ability very well. Some teams are aggressive, the other are very strong on defense. Then, I am going to introduce 4 teams to you.



First, I am going to talk about Nagoya Grampus. Nagoya Grampus has a lot of players who have great ability. However, they had not been able to play very well because they had not seen a great head coach. In this season, Dragan Stojkovic leads them, and he brings good results. Especially, Yoshizumi Ogawa is a very good player, so I want you to look at him in their games.

Three subjects I liked

When I was a high school student, I studied a lot of subjects. Of course, I had the subjects that I liked very much or the subjects that I did not like. When I studied favorite subjects, I was very happy because they enabled me to know a lot of information that I had not heard of at that time. There were a lot of teachers who knew more about each subject and understood how to tell students their knowledge effectively in my high school. Thanks to them, I was able to get interested in the subjects. Then, I am going to introduce three subjects that I liked very much to you.

First, I liked English classes. Of course, I also like English now. As I was able to learn English in the classes happily, I decided to major in it.

Second, I liked social studies classes. As they helped me to understand what happened at that time, so I liked it.

Third, I liked PE. Though I was not able to run fast, I liked playing soccer and the other sports. (182 words / 4665 words)

Three vehicles I like

When I was a little child, I often watched the videotapes that introduced a lot of vehicles to us. According to my parents' explanation, the first thing I remembered was the names of the companies of car when I lived in another place. I was a child who hardly spoke, so it became the first interest in my life. And I found the other thing that I could not help but be absorbed in. It is to play with toy cars. I had loved them because it was fun for me to use them as if they had run by themselves. My father bought a lot of them and the toys that were able to be used for me. It was very interesting for me to touch the toys of vehicles. So, I am going to introduce the real vehicles to you.

First, I am going to explain a car to you. I think that we are not able to live without using it. Also, I think that it is the most useful vehicle in the world, so we are often able to see it. There are many kinds of it and they have been used in a lot of ways. For example, the cars that are used for removing snow from the road which a lot of vehicles run on are often seen in the heavy snowfall areas in Japan. In addition, ambulances have been used in hospitals and they have saved a lot of people who are in critical condition.

Second, I am going to explain a bus to you. A bus is the vehicle that is used for carrying a lot of people. As far as I know, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is one of the most famous countries for it in the world. Also, it is very important for me to use a car in going to school. And if there were no buses in the world, a lot of people could not move anywhere and we could not get a lot of things that we needed. In other words, I think that most of the people in the world are not able to live without making use of a bus, too.

Third, I am going to explain a taxi to you. A taxi is the vehicle that is usually used for carrying one or two people at the same time. I seldom use it, but it is able to help the people who have to carry their colleagues to move. After they drink with their colleagues, they sometimes have to take care of the drunken persons of them. When they do it, they tend to move by making use of taxis. So, I often remember a taxi when I imagine the scene. Also, I think that taxis are often seen at the station.

Now, as you know, there are many kinds of vehicles in the world. For example, they are a linear motor train, an air cushion vehicle, a bullet train, and so on. They always help us to live every day. However, they sometimes cause some accidents. We may die from them. In other words, a lot of vehicles are able to help us, but they can kill us, too. In fact, though you may know this fact, a lot of accidents happen in the world. I think that it is very important for us to understand the good points and bad points which a lot of vehicles have. So, I would like you to remember the ideas. (589 words / 3375 words)

Three events I remember

I have experienced a lot of events in my life. Some events made me happy; others made me sad or disappointed. I think that they can have a major effect on the ways to think. In fact, some experiences give me some lessons to me. They tell me the importance of calm, the feeling that I try to do what I am not able to do, and the force of adapting a lot of conditions. Now, I am going to introduce the stories of them to you.

First, I was hurt when I was 8 years old. I was at the outside of the house of my friend. He had a dog as a pet. And it was running there with my friend and he and I were also playing at the same place. Though I do not remember the moment in detail, I was run after by the dog on the way to doing it. As a result, I fell and hit my head against the ground. Because of this accident, I lost my memory that was made at that time temporarily. So, I thought that I had to calm down.

Second, I was not good at exercising on the horizontal bar when I did it at school. However, I was only able to do it once by myself when I was a pupil. When I was practicing doing it, I was able to feel the sense of achievement. So, I thought that going on trying to do very difficult things was very important for me.

Third, I have moved some time with my family. The prefectures that I have ever lived in are Kanagawa, Saitama, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto. When I lived in each prefecture, I knew their climate or culture. Then I was able to enjoy my life there. So, I thought that it was necessary for me to live on many conditions. (315 words / 1898 words)
