The Feeling of Winning: Motivational Soccer Stories


When you look at the scenes of glory, celebration, winning and happiness that comes from winning a soccer game not just for a team but for every individual player, you feel this overwhelmingly surreal emotions. It makes you think of all the hard work these players put into it, the sweat, the tears and even the blood. It is admirable and shocking at the same time what some soccer players have to go through to make it big in the world of soccer, to win a game, to make a name of their own.

There are so many examples in the world of soccer. So many winning stories that inspire you. So many players who have truly shocked the world with their talent and have become idols for their fans.

Take Ronaldo for example.  A living legend.  A star in the soccer world. He can possibly be one of the most famous names to come out of the soccer world. His name has become synonymous with the game itself. No matter where you are from, if you are a soccer fan or not, you must have heard of the magic that is Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a winning story himself. 


Ronaldo does not come from a very rich family or from a family that has a lot of influence. His father worked as an equipment manager at a club in Portugal. It was pure talent and hard work that brought him to fame and he was able to sign a deal with the famous European Club Manchester United. It was his talent and hard work that led him to win 5 Ballon d’Or awards, one of the most prestigious honor for any soccer player. It is the inspiring story of Ronaldo that had led millions and millions of kids to be ambitious about a career in football and to actually train hard and work for their dreams.

Another similar success story is of the world famous Argentinian soccer player Lionel Messi who is a forward player at FC Barcelona. He is considered to be a true success story, a player who is considered to have the most impeccable style of playing, overall a perfect soccer player. 

















Messi whose net worth is around 400 million dollars now started of with very humble beginnings. He is a winning story in the world of soccer. Little kids look up to him and worship him. A kid who went viral recently for wearing a plastic shopping bag with messi’s name written on it because the family couldn’t afford to get him a real jersey belonged to a small village in Afghanistan. 

That’s the power of Lionel Messi. It was not always like this for him. He had his fair share of hurdles to make it big in the soccer world and to become the winning story that he is today. When Messi was an 8-year-old little boy he was diagnosed with a condition that stunted his growth and he was smaller than kids his age. His parents had to inject him every night with growth hormones that not only were very expensive but also were painful at the same time. 

This painful ordeal did not mean Messi gave up on playing soccer. He continued to work hard and play. Eventually he was chosen to be trained with FC Barcelona and they covered his medical costs. This same child went on and became FC Barcelona’s lead scorer and to win five Ballon d’Or awards. He is talented, He is inspiring and he is perfect winning story in the world of soccer.


A very recent and glorious winning story in the world of soccer has been of Muhammad Salah Ghaly or famously known as Mo Salah. A Muslim Egyptian football player who has climbed the stairs of success and glory in a way that has left many awe struck. The stadium is filled with chants of his names when he is playing. 


















When Mo Salah was first signed by Liverpool FC everyone was apprehensive and skeptical of the choice they have made. He proved himself by becoming the second African player to score the most number of goals while playing for Liverpool. He became the player of the season. 

It was truly hard work that helped Mo Salah to get where he is today. He is still emerging and has a very long way to go. His achievements haven’t stopped yet and there are so many things he still needs to do, so many games he still needs to win.

These are just a few winning stories in the world of soccer that have inspired people all around the world. It is this feeling of winning, it is this glory, and the dedication showed by the players and the fans that make soccer the beautiful game that it is today. Soccer fans are known to be the most passionate fans when compared with fans of all other games because they invest all their emotions when supporting a team, club or even a player. 

The feeling of winning a soccer game is unbeatable. It is the most rewarding one. It is a game that becomes a part of you, a part of your life, a part of your lifestyle. It brings fans from all over the world closer to each other. They bond over one thing: soccer. They celebrate their wins together. It brings players from all kinds of backgrounds, ethnicities, races and religions together and to work for one thing: winning the game. There is truly nothing like the feeling of winning and celebrating a win with fans all around the world.
