My football team

While I was at school I used to play basketball. I didn’t have much option because it was the only sport you could practice at school. I ended by loving this sport and I still miss those Saturdays mornings when my friends and I went to play.
 

When we finished our studies, the school didn’t give us any option to carry on playing so we decided to start playing football. Probably, it is the sport everybody can practice and it is easier to make up a team.

I don’t really remember when I started playing but since then I haven’t stopped. We have been able to build a good team with friends from school like Marc, Albert or Joan or others that we have made during our lives like Hugo or Oriol.

 

Really, football is an excuse to keep seeing us, explaining us things and enjoying time together. We are lucky that we don’t do bad and that we win quite often –this season we have started with two victories-, but, as I wrote before, it is not about football is about our friendship.

 

I have to admit that sometimes when we play late I would prefer to stay at home, however, I miss seeing my friends and chatting with them. It has become a tradition, a nice tradition that it would be nice to keep during the next years even we know it is difficult because we get old and we are not so fit as five o ten years before.

 

My matches on Thursday and my football team are two of the things that make me happier. I think it will be very difficult for me to live without them because I really enjoy it. The minutes before the match, the match indeed and the gathering after it.

 

I honestly think not many people keep playing together after they pass the thirties and I have to say that this is one of the best decisions I have ever done. When you get older, you don’t spend so much time with your friends but you can always find a way to see them and remember that they are an important part of your life.
