Giovanni dos Santos

First time I saw Giovanni dos Santos Ramirez he was playing for the Mexican National U-17 team that won the 2005 U-17 World Cup held in Peru. He was playing with respect for the game. He wasn't getting mad or sad, he was happy playing soccer with others around the world. He just wanted to have fun playing the sport. This was important to me because I like to play soccer and he inspires me to play the sport with respect.
