How much did you understand?
Jack: Hello and welcome to Premier Skills English podcast
Rich: Did you see the PFA awards last week?
Jack: Yes, I did but as this is a podcast can you explain
Rich: Well, the PFA is the Professional Footballers Association and each year each Professional Footballer in England votes for their player of the season.
Jack: And what’s so special about these awards?
Rich: The players who win are really happy. It means a lot to the players because the winners are chosen by their teammates and players from other teams.
Jack: what do you think about the winners this year?
Rich: Chelsea’s Eden Hazard won Player of the season and Tottenham’s Harry Kane won the young player of the year.
Jack: Do you think they deserved to win?
Rich: Yes, Harry Kane’s had an amazing first full season in the PL and he might finish the season as the Premier LEague’s top scorer.
Jack: And Hazard?
Rich: Again, yes. He’s played well all season and been the most important player in helping Chelsea win the PL again.
Jack: And what did Kane and Hazard say about their awards?
Rich: Hazard said he didn’t know if he deserved to win. Does that surprise you?
Jack: Yes, he deserved to win - 100%. He’s been the best player at the best team this season.
Rich: Yes, I have to agree. And players from all the other premier league clubs agree that he deserves to win because they voted for him!
Jack: This word ‘deserve’ what does it mean?
Rich: If someone deserves something it means it’s right and correct they get that thing because they have done well.
Jack: Yes, Hazard deserves to be player of the year because he’s played well all season.
Rich: And what about Harry Kane at Spurs, Jack?
Jack: Yes, Harry Kane at Tottenham won the Young Player of the Year . He said it was a night he’ll never forget.
Rich: He’s had a great season. One night I’ll never forget is Istanbul 2005, the Champions League Final, Liverpool winning on penalties, fantastic! What about you Jack?
Jack: Yes, you keep talking about it! It was 10 years ago Rich.
Rich: Well, it’s a night I’ll never forget isn’t it?
Jack: Well that’s all for now. Thanks for listening.

Wow, it's been a long time. I didn't follow that season, but I think the players chose what they thought their best. So, I couldn't agree more with their choices. Both Hazard and Kane deserved the awards. Although it was several years ago, I would like to say Congratulations to both of them.

Hello,
In my point of view the both players deserved these award.
Because they were great and they're still good on the field.
Maybe my favorite team Chelsea deserved at this year . Today it Manchester City with doubts.

Hi Carlos
Sanchez was named in the PFA's Team of the Year but Eden Hazard won the Player of the Year in 2015. Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez won it last season. Do you think Sanchez will win it this season?

In opposite of Jack, I think that Rich mustn't stop talking about that night, this chance to win the Champions League Final on penalties is very little , and it's Liverpool, the Rich's favorite team !
