Aston Villa Love

Aston Villa Love

The people with whom we spend a lot of time have a huge impact on our life. So many of us sometimes end up doing things that we would initially think we would never do. The main reason for that is the people with whom we surround ourselves influence us and shape our life.

For example, I never thought that I would wake up at 6 am to watch a soccer game on a Saturday morning. How did this happen? The simple answer is that I married a soccer-lover husband. However, it took me 3 years to love watching soccer. I used to judge my husband each time he watched soccer games. I would say to him that he was wasting his time because the players were the ones who made millions, and he was the one who felt sad when they lost the game. Of course, he did not listen to me and kept supporting his team, Aston Villa. At that time, the only thing I knew about the Aston Villa was their famous claret and blue colors.

At the beginning of last year, Aston villa kept losing the games and their dream to go on to the premier league was about to fade. They sacked their coach. So, I found myself repeatedly asking my husband who would be new coach, and whose fault were the bad results. Later on, they hired a new coach, Dean smith.  During the forming stage, they lost some games and they won some games. And finally, our dream came true; they managed to win the last 10 games of the championship and promoted to the premier league. It was clear that soccer was growing on me.

Unexpectedly, I started to watch their games with my husband, and I even have several favorite players. I must admit that, I feel very stressed while watching games especially when we play poorly against stronger teams. However, it makes me forget about everything during that 90mins. Many other stronger teams, which were already in the premier league, have very good players, and have more experience than us, but we are doing our best and playing pretty well. However, we lost many games and we are close to the relegation zone. We still have many games to play until the end of season, and I am very hopeful from our future.
