I would like to meet Gareth Bell, who is one of the greatest football players in history. Although he has already retired, so no longer praised professionally, but his performance on the pitch was truly extraordinary. He was especially known for his incredible speed and the ability to score a crucial goal in the very important matches. I respect him because my play style of football is similar to him. So I am left-footed and I rely on my speed. So I’ve been playing football for about 15 years and I always admire him and I always have tried to imitate his style. So watching his performance and praying gives me motivation to improve my own performance. So if I had the opportunity to meet with him, I would probably be so nervous that I don’t know what to say but I would definitely like to express my admiration and appreciation to him and in addition to this I would love to ask about how he managed his emotion before really big patches and how he managed the motivation throughout his career. So if I could see him definitely over the moon and it would be the most valuable experience in my life.
