Play for the team

Hi folks!

How are you all?

I'm really looking forward to the Soccer School!

Do you ever think about being the greatest? I certainly do! Particularly when it comes to football! I always want to be the best!

But I think it's important to make a difference between trying your best and thinking you're the best and everybody else is useless.
In football the best players are clearly the ones who play FOR THE TEAM and NOT FOR THEMSELVES!

This week Champions' League was on. AC Milan went out to Tottenham and I think that it's because they relied on one player to do the job, but he who was only playing for himself: Ibrahimovic.
Inter Milan instead managed to win a tough game against Bayern Munich and I'd likd to highlight Eto'o's game! He scored but he also passed a great ball to Pandev who scored the decisive goal! He plays for the team!

In the Premier League, Man City rely on individuals but Man U rely on team effort, every player works for the team, from the captain (Ferdinand) to others.

It's a bit like that as Christians too.
Luke 22:24-27
24. The disciples were fighting over which one of them was the greatest.
25. Jesus says: 'Kings rule over people and call themselves great'
26. But you aqre not to be like that! instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rulel like the one who serves.
27. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

Let's learn from our captain (Jesus) and let's serve, hep others. let's play FOR OTHERS AND NOT FOR OURSELVES. and not only in footbal but in everything!

Take care people (GHANALALA!)
