My favorite soccer player

   My favorite soccer player is Thierry Henry. I liked soccer through him. When I was junior high school or high school student, I didn't have very soccer knowledge and I wasn't interested in soccer. I like baseball rather than soccer. I played baseball with my brother and my friends about everyday. One day I played soccer game with my brother. Then he told me about strong team. The team was France National Team. I decided to use France National Team. Then I found Thierry Henry and I longed him.

  I wanted to know about him and I examined about him. My examined substance was belong club and background and so forth.  He belonged to ARSENAL FC in those days. He can very run fast and he has wonderful technique. He exercised them ability at the ARSENAL FC. In those days I thought he could run fast than other soccer player. He played for eight years at the ARSENAL FC. While he belonged to ARSENAL FC, he took 226 goals. He also experienced that league match victory was second time, FA cup victory was four times and goal king was four times. He was indispensable to ARSENAL FC. He got many title. For instance, goal king, golden boot, World Cup 1998, EURO2000, league title, cup title and so forth, but he has one title which he couldn't get. It is a Champions league title. To get it was his aim, but he couldn't get it while he was in ARSENAL FC. He approached it for 2005-2006 seasons, but ARSENAL FC lost to FC BARCELONA Champions league Final match. Most people said FC BARCELONA is stronger than ARSENAL FC, but in this tournament, ARSENAL came to final match that won strong teams. FC BARCELONA came to final match that won so-called normal teams. When I hear it, I thought why ARSENAL FC lost. Eventually, they finished second. I thought the cause of a defeat is to Henry was defended by another player and unlucky. I want them to get Champions league trophy. After 2005-2006 seasons he played one year at ARSENAL FC.
   2007-2008 seasons, he transfer FC BARCELONA to get a Champions league title with supporter's support. He had a difficult time fit his team in transfer first year, because he didn't very play at the position. Atmosphere of team was not good.

  Next year manger changed in FC BARSELONA and became a strict discipline. They became a very strong team though it. 2008-2009 seasons, they get six titles a year. They are league title, cup title, champions league title club world cup and so forth. Henry was very good condition through year. At last, He realized his long-cherished wish. I was very glad about it. I recorded important games on DVD in 2008- 2009 season. FC BARCELONA also became very strong since this season.

 Next season, Henry was left FC BARCELONA, but this season is bad for him because new good younger player joined team, so he diminished chance to takes part in games. Eventually he couldn’t takes part in games in 2009-2010 seasons. I was very lament that he couldn’t takes part in games, but I became a FC BARCELONA fan so new good younger player came team and I was very glad what team became strong team.

 Next season, Henry transfer team of America. The team name is New York Red Bulls. He has longed for America since he was a child. He is playing there now. I want to go America to see him someday.

 Next I’ll tell you about his National team. He is thirty four years old now. He is a French. I study French because I was given impact by him. He debuted on varsity versus South Africa on October 11, 1997. Next season World cup 1998, he has topped. After two years Euro 2000, he has topped. 2006 World Cup, he finished second. He retired France National team on 2010. I bought many his goods recently. For example Uniform, DVDs, books, scarf, medal and so forth. These are all treasure. I enjoyed watching DVDs again and again. Of course I watch it now.
