Ferenc Puskás - the best Hungarian footballer in history.

Ferenc Puskás was one of the biggest football stars of the Hungarians in the last century. He was born on 2 April 1927 in Budapest, Hungary, and grew up outside of Budapest in Kispest. Already as a 16-year-old he had his senior debut at Kispest AC, (mainly because his dad was a coach). His father, from his young years, strongly encouraged him to play football. Finally he won five Hungarian championships with this team(1949-1955) and became the best scorer from Europe with 50 goals (it was 1948).
At the age of 18, he had his debut in the senior team in Hungary, scoring his first goal against Austria.
Ferenc was a striker with extraordinary agility, control of the ball and an amazing left foot. All his skills contributed to the fact that he joined Real Madrid (1958). There he continued his career, where together with Alfredo di Stefano (the second phenomenal striker) created a dream duo. During his nine-year career in Madrid he has won 5 National Championships and 3 European Cups, and he scored 512 goals in 528 matches - that's admirable!
He retired from football in 1966. Just after his career ended, he started managing several football teams.
In 2000 Puskas got sick of Alzheimer's. In 2002, the stadium in Budapest was called Ferenc Puskás Stadium.
He died on 17 November 2006 and to his memory, the FIFA award, for the player who scored the most beautiful goal of the season, was called the FIFA Puskás Award.

    His career seems quite impossible - in communist Hungary it was virtually impossible to go abroad even for a holiday so how did he manage to achieve that in post-1956 Hungary ruled by Soviet envoys and supervised by the Warsaw Pact armies? Did he escape illegaly or did he have a deal with the Hungarian government to spy on his host countries? I'm sure there are some secrets in his life.

    The achievements of his are truly impressive, no wonder they named a FIFA award after him. But why the most beautiful goal award? Was there some reason behind choosing this particular award?

Reflection

Currently, the weather is very unpleasant, it's raining, and soon it will be snowing, it's cold and windy. Many people sit at home and think that they can not do any sport outside in such weather, because it's uncomfortable, and I have heard many times that they can not do what they want because of the conditions. Also, many people give up their plans when they see bad weather outside the window. For example, when I told some people that I had training in such weather, they reacted with great surprise - "Well, how can you practice in such weather when it's close to 2 ° C outside, it's raining and there is a very big wind". Then I explained to them that "there is no bad weather is only bad clothing" and regardless of external factors, you must achieve your goals. In my case, I want to increase my football skills, and that it's outside, and I have no influence on it. To sum up, bad weather can verify, how much you care about something and wheth...

Football and the most expensive player in the soccer history.

Football is a sport that unites people, allows to forget about problems, gives joy, happiness and also teaches humility. In football, the most beautiful are goals, emotions, competition, and what gives the most satisfaction are tricks and dribblings. I think that one of the best players in this matter is Neymar - Brazilian footballer. He performs an endless number of amazing tricks in one match, shaking defenders damn head and providing fans with a spectacular show. Despite his young age (25 years), Neymar can really boast about a lot of achievements and experience in the senior football. At the age of 21, he was sold for big money (about 75 million euros) to one of the best teams in the world - FC Barcelona, from Santos , Brazil. At that time, his career sped up, he was put on high expectations and responsibility. Over time, he  lived up to all expectations and has become a better player. From season to season, he scored more goals and noted more assists. Last season, he left FC B...

What does it mean to be a real man in the 21st century?

The truth is that everyone will have a different opinion on this topic, but in my opinion, real man can be called someone who keeps both feet on the ground, knows what he wants from life and has a specific goal to which he aims. I mean a person who does his job and doesn't look at other people, nor does anyone tell him what to do. He should have high self-assessment and be confident (but not arrogant), that no one can change his earlier plans and goals for life.
