Lionel Messi

Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini or Leo Messi or Lionel Messi is one of the best football players
in the world. He was born in Rosario, Argentina on 24 June 1987. His zodiac is Cancer. By next
month, he will be 30 years old. This Argentine professional football player is the son of Mr.
Jorge Horacio Messi and Mrs. Celia Maria Cuccittini. Since his youth career, he has been a loyal
member of his current club, FC Barcelona. His skills along with his loyalty have made him one
of the richest football players in the world with the salary of 40 million EUR (2016).

His position in the club and on the field is as a captain and forward. His dribbling skill during the
match is amazing. People called him as a dancer on the ball for this skill. His back number is 10,
just like a perfect score that we always want to get in exam right? Over the years he has achieve
so many records and achievement with FC Barcelona and his national team. Some of his
achievement are: Ballon d’Or (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012) European Golden Shoe (2010), Top
Scorer in FC Barcelona of all time. He also breaks some records such as: UEFA Champion
League as the first football player to score five goals in one match, and in 2011-2012 seasons he
become the top scorer with 50 goals in one season.

Lionel Messi has fair skin, round and beardless face and distinctive smile. His hair is straight and
the color is dark brown. He has round eyes and the color is brown. His body is athletic with the
height of 170 centimeters and the weight of 67 kilogram. His favorite color is blue, maybe it is
the reason why he has blue tattoo on his right arm and black tattoo on his left leg. For me, he is
very discipline when it comes to training and keeping the body healthy, because he has no
smoking records. Based on the data that I found on the internet his blood type is probably O
positive, a type of blood that used to be the universal donor.

Read the following text and answer the questions

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has very strong determination. He used to train very hard since his childhood.
He knew that a footballer requires good stamina because a football match requires a player to run
at least 10 kilometers in a single match. Sometimes, he even trained himself continuously from
morning until evening. He also challenged himself by playing along with older players.

He becomes so skillful and confident that his opponents cannot figure out how to stop Ronaldo
from making a goal. Normal football players will use their single leg of their dominant side
body, i.e. players of right handed or left handed use their respective legs to score goals but
Ronaldo can easily use both of his legs efficiently to make goals. In addition to that, he can use
his head to score goals as well.

He is also one of the fastest football players in football history. Ronaldo can run very fast, he can
run with a speed of 33.6 kilometers per hour. That is why he is also known as a rocket man. This
helps Ronaldo to do his famous free kick. Ronaldo's free kick speed is approximately 130
kilometers per hour.

While jumping, Ronaldo's G-force is five times higher than that of a cheetah. He can jump up to
78 cm in the air; this jumping height is much more compared to any basketball player. All of
these have helped him achieve his success. In his young age, he has won many trophies and
broken records including winning the prestigious FIFA Ballon d’Or award five times and created
a world record by scoring the most goals in international football in September 2021. Currently
his net worth is around $500 million and this makes him one of the richest athletes.
