My Favourite Sportsman Мой любимый спортсмен I am really fond of sport. I especially like tennis, swimming, skiing, basketball, and figure-skating. However, my favourite type of sport is football. I like both playing and watching it. Football is played in many countries, so I support foreign teams as well as the domestic ones. I know many great players of football. Among them, Maradona, Zidan, Arshavin, Totti, Maldini, Beckham, Cnatona, Messi, Vieri, but most of all I like Ronaldo. I like the way he plays and behaves. He seems to be not only talented but also a strong-willed guy. His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. I know people who don’t like this Portuguese-born footballer but I adore him. He is considered to be the most expensive footballer of all times. To transfer from “Manchester United” team to Spanish “Real” he was paid more than 83 million pounds. Ronaldo was born on February the 5th, 1985 in Madeira neighborhood. He was the youngest child in a family and his father named him after the American President Ronald Reagan. His career in football started rather early. At the age of eight he already played for the amateur team “Andorinha”. When he turned ten, he signed his first contract with the local club “Nacional”. Today, Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world and he plays as a forward for the Spanish club “Real Madrid”. He is known to be mentally sharp, predicting certain plays, and having very good reactions. He was also the first player to win all main football awards. Apart from being a great player, Ronaldo often donates money and personal possessions to charity funds and people who are in need. Я очень люблю спорт. Мне особенно нравятся теннис, плавание, лыжи, баскетбол, и фигурное катание. Однако, мой самый любимый вид спорта – футбол. Мне нравится, и смотреть игру, и играть в неё. В футбол играют во многих странах, так что я болею за иностранные команды, наряду с отечественными. Я знаю много великих игроков футбола. Среди них, Марадона, Зидан, Аршавин, Тотти, Мальдини, Бекхэм, Кантона, Месси, Вьери, но больше всего мне нравится Роналду. Мне нравится, как он играет и ведет себя. Он, кажется, не только талантливым, но и волевым парнем. Его полное имя Криштиану Роналду душ Сантуш Авейру. Я знаю людей, которым не нравится этот футболист португальского происхождения, но я его обожаю. Он считается самым дорогим футболистом всех времен. За переход из команды "Манчестер Юнайтед" в испанский "Реал" он получил более 83 миллионов фунтов. Роналдо родился в 5-го февраля в 1985 году, близ Мадейры. Он был самым младшим ребенком в семье, и отец назвал его в честь американского президента Рональда Рейгана. Его карьера в футболе началась довольно рано. Уже в возрасте восьми лет он играл в любительской команде “Андоринья”. Когда ему исполнилось десять, он подписал свой первый контракт с местным клубом “Насьональ”. Сегодня Роналдо является одним из лучших игроков в мире и выступает форвардом в испанском клубе “Реал Мадрид”. Он славится острым умом, умением предвидеть ход определенных игр и наличием очень хорошей реакции. Он был также первым игроком, выигравшим все основные футбольные награды. Помимо того, что Роналдо отличный игрок, он часто жертвует деньги или личные принадлежности в фонды благотворительности или людям, которые нуждаются в этом.
