6
And I'm trying to track down Messi.
7

I'm just trying to get into the locker room.

To tell you the truth, I've been a football fan ever since my godson said to me that he wanted to go to the World Cup.
19
But I got to say, I am converted.

I am a fan now.
21
There's nothing like the sport of football.

You can start playing yourself, maybe.
23
Huh?
24
You can start playing yourself, maybe.
25
Am I going to start playing?
26
You can start playing.

I think I'd have a lot of years of practice to catch up to even compete on any kind of a level.
28
I mean, I was really, we were so excited.
29
I could see that you seem to be, let's just take a look at, I mean, you are raging.
30
Oh, I am like out of body.
31

32
Like he looks over and I'm like, is he looking at me?
33
Is he looking at us?
34
I was like, I literally was like that, and then he starts coming over, and the next thing, there he was, and he signed Ford's shirt.
35
The kids love, my son Billy loves him.
36
Loves, loves, loves him.
37
I mean, that's the most excited I've ever been, to see someone.
38
Really?
39
Oh, yeah.
40

41
I mean, it's like Michael Jordan.
42
Especially excited, because he gave you a sweaty hug, too.
43
Well, you know, we were talking about that, because the kids on the way home, they're like, did you see he signed my shirt?
44
And he gave me a high five.
45
And I was like, guys, did you not see he hugged me?
46
You know, classic middle child.
47
Well, you know, actually you said it was a sweaty hug, but the first thing I felt when I hugged him was like, his skin is really soft.
48
That was the first thing, and I said it to them.
49
And they go, oh, yeah, Dad, when he gave me a high five, his hands were really soft, so I got an amen from them too.
50
He's not just a great soccer player player he has beautiful skin

56
He's going to love these.
57
He has all the jerseys, everything, and every time he's...
58

59
Messi, we were sitting on the couch, holding our breath.
60
It was the greatest game, and I mean, Messi is just the greatest of all time.
61
That's all there is.
62
Barcelona, Real Madrid.
63
I'm going to say Barcelona.
64
Real's pretty great though, but Barcelona I can't rule my R's Sounds kind of small I don't know,
65

66
It was crazy It was a great passion of mine
67
This hand was actually in the hand of Lionel Messi on Monday night.
68
Not because I particularly wanted to meet him, but my wife did.
69
Lionel Messi converted her to soccer.
70
She had no interest in it at all until she saw how this man played ball.
71
And I knew he was going to be at this event.
72
I'd accepted an invitation to present an award because I'm also president of the academy of a premiership football team in England,
73
team I've supported since I was seven.
74
And I knew there would be a lot of great, because it was an international event.
75
It wasn't just the British Football League.
76
And I didn't know that Messi would be there, but I hoped that he would.
77
And I told my wife, if he's there, I will do everything in my power to bring the two of you face to face.
78
And she said, what if he becomes my celebrity pass?
79
I said, that's fine by me.
80
Absolutely.
81
And it was really, really hard because there was security like you've never seen.
82
You know, it might have been the royal family in attendance
83
because there was Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and there was the other great Argentinian.
84
An old guy now.
85
Maradona.
86
Maradona, thank you.
87
Diego Maradona.
88
Mano de Dios.
89
He actually handed a ball into the net of the British goal in a match once.
90
And you couldn't get to them.
91
I was sitting on the front row, but right at one end of the cinema, and all these guys were at the other end of the cinema.
92
And I decided when the show is over, I'm going to make a run for it.
93
And they were saying, thank you, everybody.
94
What a great night.
95
Thank you.
96
Wonderful.
97
Come again next year.
98
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and I turned to my wife and said, you follow me and stay close.
99
I shot along the front of the theater, between the edge of the stage and the front row.
100
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
101
And I know people are thinking, oh my God, there's some
102
and something has gone wrong
103
and then i hit the security wall excuse me excuse me
104

105
so embarrassed myself i was saying it's patrick sure i'm patrick
106

107
And I saw Cristiano Ronaldo look up and go, oh, who's this guy?
108
And I couldn't see Leo.
109
He wasn't, he had actually turned around and bent down over his seat.
110
And he's quite short.
111
And so he just vanished behind everybody.
112
And I stood behind him, and then he stood up and turned around, and we were face to face.
113
And his face, oh, you see, this is very emotional for me.
114
And he just beamed into my face.
115
And I said, Senor Messi, por favor, mi esposa.
116
And they shook hands.
117
And then I said, can I please take a photograph of the two of you together?
118
So I took, not a selfie, I took a photograph of Lionel Messi and my wife side by side.
119
And then his wife said, and I want a photograph with you.
120
Well, that was only four nights ago.
121
And as you can see, I'm still a little stimulated by it.
122
It makes me so excited.
123
I'm happy to be here, you know, with Victoria and David and everyone.
124
It's going to be such a fun game.

126

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
このビデオでは、著名なハリウッドセレブがサッカー選手メッシを応援する様子が描かれています。スポーツ、特にサッカーにおける情熱は、英語学習者にとって非常に魅力的な話題です。このビデオを通じて、実際の会話に基づいた言語スキルを向上させることができます。YouTubeで英語学習をしながら、ネイティブの発音や表現を身につけることができるため、一石二鳥の効果があります。
文法と表現の文脈
- 「I'm trying to track down Messi.」 - ここで使われる「trying to」は、目指していることを表現しています。この構文を使うことで、学習者は自分の目標や関心をより明確に伝えることができます。
- 「I mean, I wouldn't call him my boy, but...」 - 「I mean」は話の流れを補足するためによく使われるフレーズです。会話の中で自分の意見や説明を明確にする際に役立ちます。
- 「Like he looks over and I'm like, is he looking at me?」 - この表現では、「I'm like」が口語的に使用されており、感情や反応を強調する役割を持っています。IELTS スピーキング対策にも適した自然な会話スタイルです。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
ビデオ中には、発音が難しい単語やフレーズがいくつかあります。例えば、「soccer」や「Messi」のように、母音の発音に注意が必要です。また、特に「sweaty hug」のようなフレーズでは、連結音に気を配ることで、よりスムーズな発音が実現できます。英語の発音を良くするためには、こうした音の連結を練習することが非常に重要です。
このビデオを通じて、shadow speechを活用し、話し言葉のニュアンスを理解しながら実際に発声することで、発音や流暢さを自然に向上させることができます。サッカーという共通の話題を通して、英語スピーキングスキルを高めていきましょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
