For those of you that don't know, my favorite soccer team is Real Madrid. This is my favorite team because when I was really young (around 3-4 years old) I started playing soccer. This was when I got shown my favorite movie, GOAL. This movie is about a player that was from Spain, and he was extremely good. Coaches were watching the kid play games and when he was finally old enough for him to get signed on a team, a lot of coaches tried to get him to play for them. He played for that team for quite a while. Then he eventually got brought up to play for Real Madrid.
This was the first time that I got to see this team. Even though it was a movie, I started to like the team. Santiago Munez, which is the name of the player in the movie eventually continued to play on the team for a long time. He scored a lot of goals and he was just a superb player in general. I continued to watch these movie series for the majority of the time that I played soccer. When I got older, I still really enjoyed the movie so I started doing research on it. I wanted to see if Santiago was a real player (he wasn't). Even though that Santiago wasn't a real player, Real Madrid was a real team. I started to follow Real Madrid and this is when I found my favorite player on the team, Sergio Ramos. Sergio plays the same position that I do and he just became a huge role model for me.
It also helped when I went to a premier soccer team when after you made the team from the tryouts that sat everyone down together and asked them what their favorite team was. They did this so that you could possibly bond with other kids on the team. I made a few friends from the team and I also figured out that my coach from Ireland also liked and followed Real Madrid.
If you have a favorite team, support it because it is always good to have a team that you really enjoy when it comes to watching or following soccer because it makes it more interesting.
