The Bundesliga, China And Me

 After a year that saw the German national team win the World Cup, Bayern Munich make the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, and the Bundesliga being named the second best league in Europe, I still have very few opportunities to watch this amazing football league.
 As a young Chinese boy, I always wanted to play professional football but didn't see a open road into the sport. We have the Premier League on TV and some schools have teams, but it's not a big sport. I wanted to follow in the footsteps of some of my soccer heroes that went to the Bundesliga.
 I have read rumors on the Internet that the league may be coming to China in the near future and I'm very excited for this. Many of my friends are just as excited at the opportunity to actually see one of our favorite teams play live, here in China.
We talk amongst ourselves at times hoping that a soccer camp from the Bundesliga may come much like the Premier League has hosted in Beijing. Im sure tickets would be difficult to get for a Bundesliga camp. A friendly match with a Super League team would a dream come true for me and many of my school friends. I would have to plead with my parents to get tickets for that!
 These are hopeful things and I would actually be happy just being able to watch these teams play on TV. I still have some videos of old games I can watch and I can visit the website for updates, but I think many people would like to see the Bundesliga come to Chinese TV on a regular schedule.
 If I could attend a soccer camp somehow, maybe my dream of playing soccer wouldn't be so much a dream as it would be a possibility.






Addendum:
This is a school project, not an actual news release.
