preseason match

World Cup ended, and players took a break. Although it doesn't take a month since the big incident, a new season is about to start. I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait. However, before it start, every year each teams take preseason matches. It is a term for them to be ready for the new season. This year, because World Cup held, some players who advanced to the knock out round are late to take part in the preseason matches. The term is also a term of transfer. Every year, by October 31st, a transfer market opens. This year, because a lot of unknown player appeared by their flourishing in the World Cup, many teams is about to get them. So, this season, primarily the young, powerful and fresh players will given a lot of chances by their managers, and I will be able to watch them.

A team named Chelsea which I support is so rich, so this season, it got a lot of famous, maniac, peak, or young player so far. Rich teams have to be careful about FFP and the number of foreign players. The number of the foreign players is limited in England. Foreign players are except English players. Why this rule was set is to grow a lot of wonderful English players. English wonderful young players could not play because of more wonderful foreign players. The leagues was played with the only English players is not interesting for me, but I want England to be strong team. I think it is good if the number which is decreased is a few one.  The national team of England is not strong now. It could not advance to the knock out round in the World Cup. Why English Premier League is said the best league and famous all over the world is relying on foreign layer too much. In spite of English league, thanks for the players, the league is flourishing. There are a lot of English players, but It is short of the number.  FFP stand for Financial Fair Play. As the name, the rule was made to stop a financial gap between rich clubs such as Chelsea and poor clubs. Every clubs must not spend money on transfer market or acquiring players except for money the clubs earn by themselves. According to the rule, rich owners can't use their own money. I don't know whether my memory about the rule is right or not, but it is right that it is disadvantage for rich clubs. I think Chelsea waste money. Jose Mourinho who is our supporting club's boss is clever, so he is good at shopping. He didn't buy rich players who flourished in the World Cup but three ones who were peak. They didn't flourish in the event very much, but they have great experiences and skills. he didn't choose young players but peak players. we have to win the league title. we could win it because we could not win away. we needed power to win there. Strikers and central midfielders was not good. Especially, Strikers was so.

Second, home grown rule. It is a regulation to grow English young player. Each team has to consist of as much English players as it can. Chelsea consists of many foreign players, so it needs to decrease the number of the players. Strictly speaking, Chelsea has to decrease a player because of the rule. Chelsea has to choose only a player in its own players because of the rule. Chelsea lined up three candidates. Fernando Torres was lined up in it. The others were Petol Cech and John Obi Mikel. When I saw it, I got angry and sad, but I could admit it. My best player, Fernando Torres  has spent disappointed times in Chelsea for three and a half years. Petol Cech seemed to stay in Chelsea,  but a new goal keeper came up from Atletico Madrid. He is so young, but now he is one of the best goalkeeper in the world, so he may transfer. Finally, It is John Obi Mikel. He is a Nigerian player. He was called great midfielder by our boss, Jose Mourinho for a moment, but he couldn't shine.

By the way, this main topic was about preseason match. I will tell you about it. Diego Costa got a lot of goals as expected for this short term. Fernando Torres couldn't get any goals as usual. I was disappointed on him, but I still believe him because I think he is the best player in the world. Chelsea seemed to have good feeling because new players, especially Cesc Fabregas and Diego Cost flourished. I'm looking forward to starting this season, but I may not be able to support Chelsea because Fernando Torres may transfer. I'm looking forward to link with Cesc Fabregas especially because he is one of the great passer in the world. Add to, he is a Spanish player as well as Fernando Torres. he has got along with Fernando Torres for a long time. Add to, he was not used at preferred position, central mid field, number 8. He was usually used at Center forward, side midfielder and under a striker, but Jose Mourinho knew his real position, so he used him at his real position. he will also use him at central midfield this season because he shined at the position for this short term. I will see whether Fernando Torres stay or not.

I didn't know why they had to die in the circumstance such as the tragedy. I thought I had to remember this tragedy because I thought we had to tell it to our children.

BR 1-13: Stories of Dinosaurs: 100

I read  "Stories of Dinosaurs". I was surprised that the dinosaurs can play wrestling and in the competition, the small one beat the big one at the final by making the most of the agility. The battle was exciting. Dino dinner was so unique because most of the menu in the restaurant in the dinosaurs' world its meat was included. Surprisingly, it seems to be included in the desserts. In the book, the egg appeared currently. Amazingly, a dinosaurs was born from it. I thought if they lived in the world currently, it would be scary. I liked this book.

BR 1-12: The Story of Chocolate: 117

I read '' The Story of Chocolate''. I love chocolate. So I was interested in the chocolate's history. As its name, it was the story of chocolate. I didn't know it. I knew that chocolate was secret and the people in central America once upon a time '' drunk'' at the first time. I was surprised at it. I thought the monkeys there were clever because they found it good. I didn't believe that, in the past time, it was very rich because now, I can eat it cheaply and easily. I thought Francis Fry which was an English chocolate maker was so clever because it invent the world's first chocolate bar. I love it.

BR 1-10: The Story of CARS: 111

I read ''CARS''. The book was the history of cars. I thought, in the past time, It was so difficult for a lot of people all over the world to carry so heavy loads. But, people thought the easy way. The genius was in the world. He was Leonardo da Vinci. Without him, the history would have not started. I thought he was fantastic. Cars have grown since that time. I thought, a lot of people had repeated uncountable efforts. I thought, they happened many accidents to make the best cars. If they had been in the world,It would be difficult for me to carry so heavy loads and myself.

I read Stories of DRAGONS.  I knew some kinds of dragons existed in this book. Dragons which lived in caves, under the sea, in the sky. They were strong and the ones of various shapes and sizes.  I was surprised at the speaking dragons. Then, the dragons were cleverer than I had thought because they could talk with the people, but Stan was cleverer than the purple dragon. He told a lie because he knew he couldn't defeat it. He squeezed a cheese on behalf of a hard stone not to lose the dragon. The dragon couldn't squeeze the stone. This book was interesting. Children will also think it is interesting.

BR 1-07: Stories of Snowmen: 107

This book was snowmen story. Surprisingly, The snowmen in this book moved, but they didn't always move. They moved only at night, because they let people see them. Moreover they had to return to where they was built. I thought they were busy and this book was non-fiction and unbelievable story. I thought If the world was such this story, I should enjoy better there. This story made a lot of children enjoy. I liked this imaginative story. I could understand the feeling which snowmen wanted to be melted. I experienced this feeling. I have made snowmen many times, but they melted the days later.

I read " Story of Santa". This story was work of Santa. Santa gives a lot of presents to a lot of good children. I was surprised that Santa worked with some elves in this book. I thought Santa was worked alone, but I made sense because he couldn't be able to do such busy work. a elf out of seven elves, Alfie had the most boring job in the factory. It was sweeping. Santa boomed him because he would often fell asleep on the job. He thought he was unfair. and he thought if he was in a charge of the toymaker. he'd never be bored. Then he made a mistake. He fell in the toymaker. So the machine made a lot of doll of Alfie. Santa was angry, but the dolls became popular. This book included more story. They were The fake Santa. and Santa's day off.
