Genetics+in+Soccer

Mitchell Powell Have you ever thought about who the next Cristiano Ronaldo? We may be able to find out before he becomes a professional. Dr Henning Wackerhage of the school of medical sciences at Aberdeen University is trying to screen professional soccer players in hope of finding a gene that shows how professional players like Cristiano Ronaldo get the amazing skill and precision to be the best in the world. If we could find a gene that gives amazing ability now, we could possibly find it in young athletes around the world. If we could do that we could find the next best player in the world. The world of soccer could possibly change to the most advance game in the world. Teams would know who to pay attention to make their team the top team in the world.

This would probably change the game into something much better than anyone would have imagined. I think this would affect the game in a positive way, because the teams would save money and every team would have a chance to be the best. Teams would save over £50 or more every year because they don’t spend money they don’t need to. The game of soccer could change forever because of Dr Henning Wackerhage.
