Real Madrid vs. Barcelona

   Today my favorite team (Real Madrid) beat their rival (Barcelona) 3-1 in their in El Clasico. With Neymar Jr. from Barcelona scoring in the 4th minute with an amazing team play, most people thought it was going to be a bad day for Real Madrid. But in the 35th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo (Best player in the world) gets a penalty kick from pique's handball and makes the first goal for the comeback of Real Madrid. Later in the 50th minute, pepe from Madrid makes an outstanding header from the corner kick making it a 2-1 lead in Real Madrid's favor. Then when they thought it was over with the goals, a magnificent team play helps Karim Benzema from Real score to make it a 3-1 lead and the is the final score for the match. 

My Favorite Soccer Player

 

Favorite Soccer Player

   My favorite soccer player in the world right now is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is a Swedish pro soccer player who plays as a striker for Paris Saint-Germain and is the captain of his nation team which is Sweden. He was born on October 3, 1981. He is 6'5 and weighs 209 lbs. His partner is Helena Seger and his salary is 15 million EUR. One thing I like about Zlatan is his cockiness. Most of his cockiness can be seen when he is answering questions at an interview after a match. This is because all the negative questions have only one answer to him which is, "Because I am Zlatan" or "Because there is only one Zlatan". Also, most of the time he only talks in 3rd person point of view. The main reason why he is my favorite soccer player is because of how he plays. Almost all players play the same way or shoot the same way, but Zlatan is different. His style of play is called "Zlatan-style". This is because he uses his karate skills that he developed before playing soccer and uses his acrobatic skills to make scoring look easy, but it isn't. This is why Zlatan Ibrahimovic is my favorite soccer player.

Real Madrid Club de Futbol

 

Real Madrid Club de Futbol

   In this blog, I will be talking about my favorite soccer team so far which is Real Madrid Club de Futbol a.k.a Real Madrid. Right now Real Madrid is in 4th place in their league (Liga BBVA). Thought I know that they can make it to first place soon if they give it their all. Anyways, Real Madrid was found on March 6th, 1902 as Madrid Football Club when soccer was starting to get recognized. Their home stadium (Santiago Bernabeu) holds 81,044 people. Their president is Florentino Perez and their manager is Carlo Ancelotti. It is the worlds richest soccer clubs with an annual turnover of 604 million euros. It is also the worlds most valuable sports team, worth 2.4 billion euros ($3.3 bilion). Its rivals are FC Barcelona and Athletico Madrid. They have also won over 5 champion leagues. These are some of the reasons why I think Real Madrid is the best team right now.

Adidas Predator Absolado Instinct Soccer Cleats

Adidas Predator Absolado Instinct    The Adidas Predator Absolado Instinct, a.k.a "Predators" are the next-gen Adidas soccer cleats. As soon as it was released in July 2014, it began too sell quickly. This specific one in the picture is the one I favor the most. Mainly because I love the red, black, and white coloring as well as the designing of the cleats. In the picture, you can see that the cleats have rubber strips that run from the toe to the top of the laces. It is a never-before seen design that they call "Predator Technology" that looks good and doesn't add any weight to the boots. The rubber part improves the players dribbling, first touch, and shot. Another improvement that the Predator Instinct brings is the redesigned outsole. The new outsole is more comfortable and the stud-pressure is almost invisible. Also right in the center of the forefoot, surrounding the central stud, are little "teeth". These teeth give added grip when moving on turf or natural. These are some reasons why I think the Adidas Predator Absolado Instinct are amazing.
