Love for football **Hey everyone, I would cherish to share the love I had for football and how it started.** `These are my remarkable sponsors` When I was a child, I didn't have anything to do, so football was my cheerful place. Football was all I minded about, and despite my lack of knowledge, I was anxious to learn and outshine my peers. I recollect this day like it was yesterday; I was still young at the time, and my sister was very sick, so I was sent on an errand to get nourishment and medications for her; there was a football pitch I had to pass before arriving at the location where I was sent. I went there and bought everything they asked me to, and on the way back, I had to go through the football field again, but this time I had no clue when I just stood there and began watching middle-aged men play football, and I did not recall until I noticed something leaking, and then I realized it was the delicacy I had gone to buy. At that point, I discovered I had devoured nearly 2 hours simply watching other guys play football, and it was at that point that I fell in love with the game, and it was at that point that I decided to give it a go. It's gotten to the point where whenever there's a football gathering, I'm always present. My first goal was still fresh in my mind. At the time, I was in primary school, but I don't recall which class it was in. I tried curling the ball past the goalkeeper, and all of a sudden it was a goal. The reason why I could remember this was that when I scored the goal, one of the senior instructors recognized me and yelled my name. He also gave me 20 naira, which at the time was more valuable, and I used it to purchase chocolate for my buddies. I reminisce about my first live football match, which was between my country Nigeria and Argentina. Though we lost, I witnessed the thrill of people coming together to support their country, even though the match took place very early in the morning. I remember the exact moment I saw Cristiano Ronaldo don Santos, the greatest player to ever step on a football pitch, play for Manchester United against Chelsea in the UEFA champions league final; I could see the excitement on his face after they won the final, and I could see how fans of Manchester United were delighted after the penalty shootout; I was younger at the time, but I managed to understand the impact of football on our lives. I recall being told to be a goalkeeper for the first time in high school, even though I was the promising player in my primary school, and I had no choice but to accept it because all I wanted to do was play in a football match, and from that experience, I learned that you can be the best at one phase or environment but be a novice at another. Football is a tremendous portion of my life, and I enjoy playing football video games when I don't have anything else to do. I can play football and modify what I learn on the field to the video game, so I'm pretty good at them. This was the last football video game I played on a given laptop from a friend;

Even though I cease playing football at a youthful age because I relinquished interest in it and as a result grew grossly overweight, I occasionally go out to watch others play since it brings me excitement.

Thanks for reading 💙
