I was the mid-field player because, as I said, this was my ________ game.

I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad_______  football, and he used to practice with me at home – passing, catching, running.

Don’t lose your concentration (专注).” “Go out there and give 110 percent every time.” Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words_______in my ears.

I had a lot on my mind_______  the game today. I don’t like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn’t sleep at all______  , and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where ________just wanted it all to be over, finished, done.

It’s all over now, and it’s really getting cold here. It’s starting to snow. The sun’s almost gone, and I can______ see the goal. Now it’s dark and I’m sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it’s time to say good-bye and move on.
