Football is a very active sport. A player must run, and move for forty five minutes nonstop up and down the fifty meter field. One of the players has to stand free by sprinting away from his marker and get the ball and pass it to one of his teammates. He is always trying to get the ball away from his own goal by stealing it and kicking it to his teammates. It’s late in the game, and his uniform is dirty. The lights shining in his eyes and the crowd cheering. He is ready to do more running. He was wet and thirsty, but he waited till the ninety minutes were finished. If the ball came close he would chase it with lightning speed till he won it like Jhon Hitinga does. He will get the ball even if he would get hurt. He is super fast and skillful so he can win the ball and pass it. Football is all about speed and being active. Football is also about not getting tired fast. Being active is important for the defenders the most because they want to steal the ball and get it away from their own goal. Strikers and midfielders can also use it because if they want to do a counter attack then they need to run as fast as they can and cross it in the box.
The football field is full of active players making it social and forcing their opponents to use teamwork to win. Football is social because there are hundreds or thousands of people celebrating and having fun. There are over a thousand people at the stadium like the players in a team, people on the field and fans. There are also supporters who scream, sing, and do the wave. They are supporting the home team and wearing the same shirt of their favorite’s player. Eleven people are celebrating with each other including the coach at the success of the game. The supporters making the wave and shouting ‘’we are the champions’’. The score is one-zero.
To succeed in football, a player must use teamwork to win. The best team uses teamwork like Man U did when they passed more than one hundred times. If one player is being selfish and never passes like Christiano Ronaldo than he will be the worst player on the field. He will not score as much. Using teamwork, he passes the ball with a good pace to the players upfront, and he doesn’t have to take the risk to run and lose the ball. Teamwork makes it easier because you only have to pass it to one of your players. It’s two-one for the opponent. The team under leadership of the coach changed the strategy to attacking turning the score into a win. The ball was passed fifty times before it smashed in the goal. They never tried to skill their opponent because there was a huge chance they would lose the ball. They used their strategy the whole game. The best skill is passing because you can keep the ball with your team. Ronnaldinho can do the best tricks in the whole entire world, but he still passes allot. Passing is the best way to get passed player. Also instead of running from the wing to the goal you can do a cross. Free kicks can be from far so you can just chip it in the box
