(essay)

In 2012, my grandfather invited me to watch the European Football Championship, which took place in Ukraine and Poland. Honestly, I was not interested in this kind of sport back then. But everything changed after the match Ukraine – Sweden.

In that match the legend of world football Andriy Shevchenko scored two goals and brought a strong-willed victory to our country – 2: 1. After this match I fell in love with football. I do not miss a single match of my favorite teams: Crystal Kherson, Dynamo Kyiv, and of course the national team of Ukraine. After the Euro 2012, I started playing football and did it for five years. Then, in 2017, due to certain circumstances, I had to finish professional training.

However, I will never take a break from sports. I work out regularly in the gym and play football for fun. After all, I just can’t imagine my life without football. So it was my grandfather who changed my life in 2012. And I’m very sorry that I can’t thank him, because he passed away due to illness a few years ago.
