【Aiden in English】

        Today was the first day that I got to play as a midfielder. Luckily for me, the Chicago Fire was not exactly the best team in the league. Their record was 0 out of 2, and in this game, we just made their season worse by absolutely demolishing them 5-0.

        In this one-sided battle, I moved my usual defensive position to an offensive one. It was a lot different from standing behind everything. As the right midfielder, I ran back and forth, not taking a break. Not the best idea. My lungs appeared ready to explode, so I slowed down. But that didn't work either because the team needed me everywhere. I tried to be open for a pass when we were charging up the field. The midfield wasn't turning out so well for me.

        Soon, I learned to rest at the appropriate times. I should have been open and waited for a pass when the ball was in our defensive area. I didn't need to move if the striker got close to the goal, since he was probably going to shoot. Whenever the ball was light-years away, I wasn't required to run to it.

        The mid-field is undoubtedly different from the defense. It's a lot more tiring, but you receive the ball more. I hope I'm a midfielder in the next game, too.

【紅霞譯】

        今天我第一次上陣打中場位置，幸好對手是整個聯賽中實力薄弱的芝加哥火焰隊，迄今為止該隊已兩戰兩敗。眼下芝加哥火焰隊與本人所在的費城工會隊短兵相接，結果我們以五比零絕對優勢進一步把他們推向深淵。

        今天這場比賽出現一邊倒，我由一向專打防守的後衛榮升為進攻型球員，跟從前場上無所事事相比變化很大。身為右前衛，我來回跑動，沒有多少喘息時間，說來並非上策。我氣喘吁吁，不由得減慢速度，但這麼做解決不了問題，因為球隊需要我無處不在，一旦本隊在場上贏得主動，我得爭取進可組織進攻，退可參與防守，所以中場的差事不太好干。

        過了一會，我了學會調節自己。當本隊後衛控球，我應該變得靈活機動，隨時接應隊友傳球﹔如果前鋒正帶球破門，我毋需徒勞跑動，因為或許他已經大腳開射。歸根到底，只要球離我十萬八千里，我不必跟上去瞎湊熱鬧。

        沒錯，中場不同於防守，體力消耗更大，不過得球機會也多。但願下一場比賽我能繼續出任中場。
