I cannot imagine my life without sport, especially without football. I think I’ve played this kind of sport whole my life. I play it with my friends outside, with my father and with my friends at school. Actually, I’m the pitcher of our school team.

Do you know what they say about football? Football is a game in which one side of the stadium wants to see eleven men killed, and the other side of the stadium wants to see eleven men killed. I hope you guess why eleven. It’s because there are eleven players in a football team. Right now I’m really good at football, as my coach always says to me.

I play football about 5 hours every day without days off. I cannot just stop and have some days of vacation. I have a goal - to become a real professional. To reach my goal, I need to have regular training. But it’s OK with me. I don’t sacrifice my life because I really enjoy playing football. I’d better spend my time playing football then playing computer games.
