Picture Discussion - alicia


This picture depicts a scene of two soccer players and some spectators in the background. This picture is most probably taken in the soccer stadium in one of the European countries. From this image, i could foresee that they are either in the middle of a soccer match or has just ended a match. I can infer that the atmosphere there is very noisy and bustling with excitement.

By looking at the two players, i can tell that they are from the Liverpool football club. Both of them, i should say are the best players of the team. The player who is facing the camera is the captain, Steven Gerrard. He is dressed in a red jersey number 8 with some white strips. At his left arm is a yellow strap with a letter 'C', representing the captain of the team. The other player, Fernando Torres, wears a long sleeved jersey number 9 which is similar to the captain's.

The two players are giving each other a hug. I believe they are doing so because they felt jolly that they have won the match. From the captain's expression, i can tell that he is in high spirits as he is grinning from ear to ear, showing some teeth. The other player must be feeling the same way as well as they have brought glory to their team. I feel that they should be thinking that their efforts are well paid off. They should be patting each others back to tell each other that they have performed well and done a good job.

Most of the spectators are in clouds nine and they should be very ecstatic as their favourite team has won. I think that they should be having a whale of their time in cheering for the team they support as this will most likely benefit the players. Some of the spectators are also showing the victory sign. I should say that the teams they have supported must have won. I believe that the support from the spectators will also affect the players so they should show their fullest support to them.

I think that the team must have practiced very hard before the match as they have obtained such wonderful results. The captain must have also done a lot in the team bonding as from the picture, it shows that they have very strong team spirits. The captain also looks self-assured and confident, showing that he has good fighting spirits and determined to try his best to fight to the end. I feel that he plays a significant role in the team as he is the one that motivates the other team mates and set a good example for them. A soccer match must consist of the team cooperation of all the players, as only with this, a goal can be scored. There is a quote saying "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress.Working together is success." They didn't do it for individual glory, but they do it as a team- win together, lose together.

In conclusion, this picture may be a motivation to some of the other soccer players who are still training hard. This also shows that success will only come after many failures and efforts that are put in. It also shows that one must have the determination and perseverance in oneself so that he will be successful. Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. This shows that one must never give up if he wants to succeed in life as failure is the key to success.

A lenghty and interesting discussion, which clearly indicates your interest in the subject. Do be more consistent; you have stated that they are either in the middle or at the end of a match but later on, it seems that you have decided on the latter.
