Did you notice how the last speaker uses a different pattern?
Me gusta jugar fútbol.
"I like playing soccer."
First is me gusta, “I like.” Me gusta.
Next is jugar, literally “to play,” but it translates as "playing." Jugar (enunciated). Jugar.
Jugar is used for sports and games, but not for playing musical instruments.
After this is fútbol, "soccer,". Fútbol.
Note: Fútbol is also very commonly pronounced futbol, with the last syllable stressed.
All together, Me gusta jugar fútbol. "I like playing soccer." Me gusta jugar fútbol.
This pattern is:
Me gusta jugar ACTIVITY.
