“I admire Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal and Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United. Originally I supported only Manchester United but I like both players so much that I support Arsenal as well now.

“Fabregas is the key player for Arsenal. I like him because he is a young and active and seems to be intelligent.

“Some of my friends support Manchester United while some support Arsenal. We have some pretty big debates about which team is better.

“I started watching Premier League about one year ago. I also went and watched the match between the Myanmar Motion Picture Organisation team and Myanmar National Women’s team.”

“I like Paulo Maldini, he is an outstanding player and a good leader. I first saw him at the 1998 World Cup in France. Since then I’ve watched many Italian league matches and Champions League games he has played in.
“I admire him because he has been loyal to his team. He has been playing at AC Milan since he was a young player.
“I also like David Beckham because of his free kicks. I first watched him at 1998 World Cup.”

Ma Swe Zin, supervisor

“I like Michael Owen from Newcastle United. Unlike other players, he always looks calm. Whether he wins or loses, he is calm.

“I first watched him play at the 1998 World Cup. Now, I never miss the games that are broadcast on satellite television.

“My favourite club is AC Milan and the Champions League is the best league tournament in the world in my opinion.”

“I like Fernando Torres from Liverpool, Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United and Kaka from AC Milan. Kaka can lead the midfield while Ronaldo’s ability to twist and turn is eye catching.

“So my favourite teams are AC Milan and Manchester United. I am thrilled that both have made it to the last 16 in the Champions League. But I want Manchester United win the cup.”

“I started watching football matches in 1994 and the player I admired most then was Roberto Baggio. I watched all his matches and liked the way he played.

“Another player I like is Ryan Giggs. I loved Manchester United so much that I didn’t miss a single match. But I stopped watching United by the time David Beckham left the club.
