LUKA MODRIC: THE CHAMPION WHO CAME FROM THE WAR

 

His name was Luka Modric, he wasn’t a footballer but a shepherd. The war in Yugoslavia had just began and one day in December 1991 the Serbian rebels found and killed him because he was Croatian. That same day his son, Stipe Modric, moved with the whole family to Zara. At the age of six, his eldest son Luka, same name as his grandfather, was starting a new life as a war refugee. Twenty-seven years later, that child is one of the strongest footballers in the world: Luka Modric winner of the Balon d'Or.   

CRISTIANO RONALDO, THE GREATEST EVER!

 

 

Hi guys and welcome back to our blog! How are you? I’m James (Giacomo 😉) and today we’re going to discover more about one of the most famous and most important athletes.

DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA: FAREWELL TO THE BEST.

 

 

Yesterday I was thinking about something to write about for or blog when, surfing the Net, breaking news titled: Maradona’s death.

Since I love football, I thought I’d write an article in his honour because he is the player who first made me fall in love with football. So, here we go!

THE DARK SIDE OF FOOTBALL

Every sport has its legends, icons and a dark side that people don’t know. Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are famous basket players, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are tennis legends. Soccer has its own icons too,  like Cristiano Ronaldo or Leo Messi, but all of these sports have a hidden side that are not as popular as their bright side. We think that the life of a football player is easy: stellar salaries, Ferraris, big houses and expensive holidays and many of us think that they are heroes or aliens.

LIONEL MESSI: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, NO MATTER WHAT

Hi guys! Welcome back to our blog! How are you? I'm fine, I'm ready for this new year and, to be honest, I missed all of this. I can't wait to create new contents for our blog during all this year, and to support all of my  blog mates. We are a team, guys, aren't we? For this new October’s post, I decided to talk about one of the best footballers ever: last year I wrote about Cristiano Ronaldo, but today I would like to talk about “la Pulga"(his nickname, how Spanish people usually call him during matches), Lionel Messi!
