Football and its positive values. This is what Pope Francis wanted to talk about in a conference which he organized in the Vatican entitled 'The soccer that we love.'<\/p>\n
There were many stars of the beautiful game such as Clarence Seedorf, Javier Zanetti, Samuel Eto'o and Claudio Ranieri.<\/p>\n
In addition, more than 6,000 children from soccer teams all over Italy filled the Paul VI Audience Hall with a sea of color. The children's Serie A teams also attended, which is the highest category of soccer in Italy. Everyone there listened attentively to the advice given by their heroes.<\/p>\n
'I would like to warn you about the envy we see so often in life. Sports especially have this power. I hope you are aware of this. I hope that when one of your teammates is successful, you celebrate him and are happy for him. Then, one day he will reciprocate that affection.\u201d<\/p>\n
The main messages of the day centered around the importance of education, respect, teamwork, and a resounding 'no to racism.'<\/p>\n
Everyone knew that at 12 o'clock the audience with the pope would take place. However, the children became impatient when the pope ran late.<\/p>\n
'Pope Francis! Pope Francis!\u201d<\/p>\n
He arrived half an hour later than planned. During his speech, the pope was very frank with them.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> Before the end of the audience, there was also time for some freestyle drills.<\/p>\n CLAUDIO RANIERI<\/strong> JAVIER ZANETTI<\/strong> Since the beginning of his pontificate, Pope Francis has never had any trouble in showing his deep passion for this sport. To him, soccer is not 'just a game,' but rather a universal language and a school of values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 24, 2019.
