Here is a picture of great football star in the making - Samuel Benjamin Matthan:
Tervarit Juniors Chelsea 97
Samuel is crazy about sports - ice hockey, football, Formula 1, are some of his great loves. Mom, Joanna, has gots him lots of books. Whenever there is an international match involving a side he is interested in, such as Finland, or our local ice hockey team, Kärpät, which has for 2 years in a row won the Finnish Championships, or when Finn Kimi Raikkonen is at his best, as winning 3 out of the last four Formula 1 races (he tragically lost the one before the last when he was leading on the very last lap!!), then I go over and we watch it on TV together.
However, Samu loves to also play the games and sports he is interested in. Grandpa has been helping out with football, despite being quite weak at the knees. But Grandpa is there for moral help and also to key him to play better and to follow the rules and decorum of the game.
This year he has joined the Tervarit Juniors side called Chelsea 97, which are mainly composed of kids about the same age as him. He goes for practice once a week and there are league matches to play. They had the first two league games last Sunday.
The team is still in the early stages of formation. Samu played well but unfortunately the team did not click. They lost their first league game 8 - 0 to a very disciplined Kello FC, while they lost their second one 6 - 5 to a well-schooled Tervarit Juniors Arsenal 98 who fought back from a 3 goal deficit.
