Celebrities love the game of billions.
Luke “Newk” Littler is a Manchester United fan.
A seventeen-year-old boy won the World Darts Championship. Last year, Luke was in the final but lost. He gained experience in matches against the best players in the world and became an analogue of Pele in his sport, beating the veteran. Darts is incredibly popular in many countries, and the main players are colorful killers who can chat after matches. Luke did the right thing by rhyming his first name, and not Littler’s last name, for his nickname. Although his nickname is also formidable – “nuclear weapon”. While in darts, Littler throws darts without missing lately and, at 17, beats athletes twice his age, in football he often suffers. Luke is a loyal and passionate fan of Manchester United. Yesterday, Amorim’s men held the world champions to a draw at Anfield Road. But we’re afraid to guess how many darts titles Littler will win before the Red Devils allow Luke to celebrate his favourite club’s latest victory in nuclear submarine or Champions League. When Manchester United The last time he was a champion, Luke was six years old.
Armand “Mondo” Duplantis is a Milan fan
Sergei Bubka has held the world record in pole vault since 1994. Duplantis was born five years after this event. Armand is the son of an American of French blood from Louisiana and a Swedish mother. Her father was a pole vaulter and her mother was an all-around athlete. At the age of 17, Armand broke Swedish national records and became the best among young men. But if seven years ago the young athlete was only among the ten best jumpers in adult competitions, then world records followed. Bubka was left far behind. Now Duplantis’ personal and world best is 6.25 meters. He beats his achievements by an inch to receive cash prizes. And he supports Milan, where another famous Swede played – Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The rich country has gained many champions through migration. Armand is a happy guy. After winning the Paris Olympics last summer, he appeared on a live morning show in Sweden, drunk. Duplantis could barely move his tongue. But he runs fast and jumps high.
Nikola “Joker” Jokic is a fan of Thierry Henry
Even if his team doesn’t finish first this season, Jokic could win the MVP award. NBA. Nikola has three of these awards and may have a fourth award. The basketball player likes other sports. Especially equestrian sports, closely follow the races. But since we are talking about a Serbian legend NBAso Nikola also knows football very well. Jokic called Thierry Henry his favorite football player, although he didn’t talk about his favorite club. IN NBA Jokic is not the biggest football fan, although he has good reasons to support Arsenal. Its current basketball club is managed by the son of Kroenke, the owner of the Gunners. Greek basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo also supports Arsenal, but everything is simple here. His father was a professional footballer. Slovenian Luka Dončić also likes football; he played for the Real Madrid basketball club, a logical connection.
Patrick “Showtime” Mahomes is a Liverpool fan
As with Jokic, it’s unlikely that the best quarterback in the world, Mahomes, has as much passion for the game as Littler and the others. But Patrick plays different sports. I know Jurgen Klopp personally. The tough athlete with the voice of Kermit the Frog continues to tear everyone apart in American football. His Kansas City Chiefs often win en route to the playoffs. Mahomes is fine too, running the game, as the quarterback is like a distributor. There will inevitably be an era of European football fans in American football. Even though we rarely see Europeans succeeding in this sport, young Americans also love foreign football. Presumably the next NFL legend will be an Arsenal fan. Polls show that in most states USA most often support the Gunners. The choice is clearly not made based on the number of trophies, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
Alexander “The Great” Ovechkin is a Dynamo fan
Ovechkin is on track to break Canadian great Wayne Gretzky’s scoring record in NHL. There are two dozen and a few kopecks left, he can take care of them. Besides hockey, the Big Eight also love football. In this case, we are talking about long-standing love and close friendship. The Washington forward even played for Dynamo Moscow in a match against Amkal in the past. He says he almost died in ten minutes, but he scored a goal. Still, skates help heavy hockey players move on ice, but it’s more difficult to move on grass with boots. Ovechkin is not a football expert, but he has many friends at Dynamo. I drank a lot of flammable liquids with former club players. And he’s strong on skates. The veteran is close to the all-time record, good average performance in the new season NHL – 19 goals in 23 matches. Considering the withdrawals due to injury, this is an excellent pace.
Jannik “The Fox” Sinner is a Milan fan
The number one in the men’s tennis rankings supports Milan. Sinner was born into a German Jewish family in northern Italy. He has a brother, Mark, whom the family adopted from Russia. We watched Rossoneri matches together. There are a lot of football fans at the top of tennis. German athlete Alexander Zverev supports Bayern. Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, like the legend Rafael Nadal, is a Real Madrid fan. Djokovic is a Milan fan and the legendary Federer is a Basel fan. In tennis, there are Tottenham and Chelsea fans. Among the girls who handle rackets well are also football fans. Many young athletes first learn soccer at school and then choose other sports based on their talent. Sinner was good at skiing, but the red-haired Italian decided to beat everyone at tennis.
Ronnie “Rocket” O’Sullivan – Sheffield Wednesday
It is unlikely that Chinese sports laboratories will invent a great snooker champion. We tried, but it didn’t work. In the United Kingdom, a new sensation was also expected. But the usual hero, “Rocket” O’Sullivan, has not yet left the stage. Even those who have never watched snooker recognize Ronnie. World celebrity. A man with a collection of expensive cars and afraid of shaking hands says his fear of germs has gotten worse recently. Liverpool legend Gerrard has a similar phobia and washes his hands a dozen times a day. But when O’Sullivan is at the snooker table, he’s not afraid of anyone. Ronnie is a seven-time world champion and has won over 30 times in other ranking tournaments. Snooker legend, colorful conversationalist and Sheffield Wednesday fan. Ronnie jokes that he chose the club so people would talk to him less often about football. But based on conversations with Keane and Wright, O’Sullivan is looking nuclear submarine. As a child I tried out for Tottenham. His father, a footballer, arranged it for him. Ronnie didn’t become the star of the unlucky Spurs, but he remained a football fan.
