If I win, will you cheer for me? If I fail, will you cry for me?
Do you care if I play football?
The general environment of the story is fictional, but the characters are prototypes. The stories in this book may always be just my wishful thinking. In any case, football moved me. During those busy and helpless years, football gave me joy and dreams. Now I share this feeling with you, hoping that you can find something in it that moves you.
Now that I am about to work, I have thought about giving up football many times, but as I wrote at the end of the novel, "No matter when, where, or what kind of changes there are, there is always a group of friends around me who keep me from giving up."
