Soccer and I

Football pitch is my home; I feel very comfortable in walking on the grass and am very happy to see my teammates' smiling. There are no tears, no fears, no rivalry, no lies, no jokes and no complaints. Everyone is true and devotes to the games. The cooperation and communication between each other enhances friendship Irrespective of the results of the games, I enjoyed saving goals as it is a challenging job for me and it plays an important role for the team.

My characters and personality are clearly displayed in football. My enthusiasm and courage as well as my attributes of calmness, faithfulness and attentive contribute to my consistent and superb performance in each game. In particular to intercept timely the deadly passes and ease the face-to-face challenges, I am quick, brave and decisive. My excellent leadership skills can also be seen in guiding teammates in moving around the pitch.

Gifted with comprehensive goalkeeping skills and superb defensive sense, I have been very successful in keeping goals especially after I moved back to the goal line 3 years ago. In each game, I earned lots of round applauses and praise from my teammates, e.g.

“Gary is born as a goalkeeper” “Well done, goalie” “Great job, goalkeeper” “Clean and timely clearance” “Extraordinary jumping ability” “Very quick response”

In response to their queries on my superb goalkeeping ability, I should mention that my 3 elder brothers, who played as goalkeepers in their first early football life, gave me lessons of the comprehensive skills and techniques and shared their valuable experience to me. Therefore, Banks, Pat Jennings, Peter Shilton and Ray Clemence are my idols when I was a child.

Incredibly, I’ve been playing for 6 teams since 2007 and the memories of the games were definitely unforgettable. Three of them are worth to mention. In spite of losing 0:4 in an amateur league game, I eased 4 face-to-face challenges and cleared 3 deadly passes In destroying the opponent by 9:0, I saved 2 laser like long shots to keep the clean sheet. Furthermore, my perfect performance ensured a 2:2 draw against a strong rival. In that particular game, I made 13 important saves (8 long powerful shots, 4 close shots and 1 powerful header) and cleared 5 deadly passes.
