PRINCE WILLIAM TALKS ABOUT HIS PASSION FOR FOOTBALL AND TELLS THAT PRINCE GEORGE IS STILL YOUNG TO SHARE
Since their childhood, Prince William and Prince Harry have been sports lovers. Polo, skiing and soccer have been some of his great loves. And about to celebrate the final of the British Cup of this last sport, William has spoken of his love for football. As President of the Football Federation in Great Britain and in charge of delivering the cup to the winning team, the Prince is a connoisseur on the subject, but this does not prevent him from sometimes getting carried away by the team of his loves, the Aston Villa.
He just a few days ago he said goodbye to the Women's National Team on their way to the World Cup in Canada and now he is preparing to enjoy the national championship. His love for football comes from his childhood, "A long time ago, in school, I just got really involved with football," he told during an interview with sports journalist Gary Lineker for the BBC.
In a country with a very competitive level in football, choosing a team to follow is not easy. And in William's case, the decision came in pursuit of the thrill of ups and downs in team performance. “I wanted a team that was in the middle, that gave me more moments of a roller coaster of emotions. Now looking back, it wasn't such a good idea, "he said," Aston Villa has always had a great history. " Thus began his fondness for a team that he has followed in recent years, in addition to the fact that he spoke that one of the first games he attended was a semi-final between Aston Villa and Bolton. And his love even leads him to wear his red hat in the stadium, like the rest of the fans.
And Aston Villa has not failed him, now he will have to preside over a final in which his team will face Arsenal, which has him somewhat restless. "I'm nervous now, I'm terrified," he confessed with a laugh, unable to hide the great enthusiasm that his team can be crowned in this competition gives him.
This is a passion that he shares with his brother, so the question arises as to whether he will share it with his eldest son, Prince George. When asked when he will take the little prince to his first game, he honestly replied, “I don't know, I will have to ask my wife, (the Duchess of Cambridge) to see if she will let me get away with it. . But right now, at 22 months old, she's a bit early. "
But yes, although he is still too young to attend the final these days, it seems that his father wants to share his love for Aston Villa. When asked if he will let him choose his own team, "The responsible response would be to say that I will let him decide, but the truth is that I am a bit biased," he said jokingly, although he accepted that it will be his son. who chooses who to support. In fact, he thinks it could be that Princess Charlotte is the one who becomes an Aston Villa fan and that Prince George decides to go for another team.
