What does soccer mean to everyone? Perhaps it means money, or maybe glory; perhaps it is simply a hobby, or even life itself. Maybe it means nothing at all, or perhaps it is a dream worth pursuing with every last ounce of strength.
Yes, for those of us who truly love soccer, it is a dream, even something greater than life. The moment we step onto the pitch, a blazing heat surges from our hearts. All it takes is a glance at the friends beside us, the scent of grass and earth, and we throw ourselves into this green ocean without hesitation, running and shouting.
Perhaps the sweat always dries into spots on our jerseys, and perhaps we cannot stop the tears from streaming down our faces. Still, we can proudly gaze at the deep blue sky and shout out the passion bursting from our chests. Then we can tell those who once mocked us: yes, this is my path.
