My anecdote takes place when I was in third grade of primary school, I filled the forms to enter to a football team with my cousin Emilio, who is 3 years older than me and was always encouraging me to try on new things.
It was the first and only year my school had a football team, I imagined this extracurricular activity didn't work as they thought it would be.
Basically as we were just kids, we didn't play in professional fields although they were pretty similar. The modality in which we were is called “Fast Football” it has almost the same basic rules as the common, the only remarkable difference is that the court is limited by walls so the ball is in constant movement.
We used to practice every Friday after school and some of those days we had matches. I remembered that in the little tournament each team wore exactly the same uniform as their favourite European team. We chose Chelsea as the team that was going to represent us after a fair and clear count of votes. I used to play with the defensive part of the team and after the trainings, I was terribly exhausted and everytime I felt my legs were destroyed but that helped to become aware about the benefits of exercise and the importance of a healthy and balanced diet.
Despite the fact that we lost almost all the matches (we only played 9 matches and won 3 of those), we were a group so united that when we had free time, we spent it together with some quality time ; sharing anecdotes, stories, as the same as we ate pizza and watched movies of Marvel or Dc. I've met great people in there and even though we don't see each other a lot I know that I can count on them and vice versa.
