2014-07-07 Minor Heat

【Aiden in English】

        The 2014 World Cup is entering the final stages, and the world is on the edge of its seats. Back at Lansdale Catholic HS, another soccer showdown is beginning…

        Today was the first day of Soccer Camp. Surprisingly, I would have to say that I was probably the best player in the group in terms of accurate shots, speed, foot & eye coordination, precise passes, and strength. The only problem was that I seemed like Neymar, the Brazilian forward. I had barely anyone who could keep up. I knew all the others were a few years younger, but it didn't mean I wouldn't chase the ball. The one kid whom I liked on my team was not only fast but also determined. It was the very determination that required stealing the ball, shooting, scoring, and defending. All while having a heck of a time.

        Maybe I was taking the situation too seriously. This wasn't the World Cup, and I certainly wasn't Neymar. So perhaps I should relax a bit. After all, this is only Summer Camp. And here, it's all about having fun.

        2014年世界盃正進入最後階段，吸引了國際上眾多球迷的注意力。視線轉回到蘭斯代爾天主教高中，另一規模的足球賽事正掀起新的高潮…

        今天是足球夏令營的第一天，就投籃準確度、移動快速化、眼腳協調性、傳球到位率、踢球力量型而論，我出乎意料地成為整個分組裡最棒的球員，在此重申本人絲毫沒有添油加醋的成分。問題出在，我如同巴西隊前鋒內馬爾，幾乎無人敢跟我抗衡。當然，我非常清楚地意識到，其他球員小我幾歲，儘管他們不應因此而影響發揮追球的能力。我十分欣賞本隊一位球員敏捷果斷，正因為這種果斷，你才會在球場上積極斷球、狠命射門、給對方造成威脅以及拼搶防守，古人云﹕“冰凍三尺非一日之寒，滴水穿石非一日之功”，上述所有球技都需要時間去打磨。

        也許我言過其實，況且這並非世界盃賽，而我肯定不是內馬爾。因此，我大概應該適當放鬆自己，凡事別那麼較真。言而總之，置身於夏令營之中，吃喝玩樂方為終極目的。
