1. I don't have a lifelong buring ambition yet but I won't stop looking for it.
2. My club is Real Betis. I think their ambition for this season is the qualify for the champions league. Manuel Pellegrini who has been the manager since the last season is great. Balance between the veterans and the young players is good. It's time to go to the champions league.

1. Well , my lifelong burning ambitions is to help my students and inspire them to be successful citizens and have a society full of achievements and optimism. Also , to keep my family safe and healthy and to see my sister the best physiotherapist in Turkey.
My secret ambition is to live in a world free from pandemics and racism and to protect our environment from pollution. not a secret anymore though :)
2. I believe United have all the qualities to fight for the title this season as we'd landed Sancho and in serious talks with Varane and Camavinga.
Although , Manchester City , Liverpool and Chelsea are tough opponents but we believe we can win the title after 9 years of drought.
Nevertheless , whatever happens we support our beloved club and we stand by the team and the gaffer.
United We Stand :)

1-My lifelong burning ambitions are being a good human , member of a family included also to provide the living costs of them, to help vulnerable people and always learning new things. I’ve no secret ambitions. Transparency is my fixed standart-:)
2-I would like all of the options come true except being relegated.
PHRASE
• It's not possible to thread a pass centerly through to heavily defended area, so it would be more sensible to use the wings.
• There is a thin line between ambition and passion, crossing boundaries might cause mental fatigue.
P.S.
• I wish good luck to Patrick Vieira in Premier League as manager.
• According to the statistics; Spain was a team that has most possessions in Euro 2020 tournament. However it didn't qualified them for the final match.
