Building house on rock. (Matthew 7:24)

1991 - Boy to Man

After the World Cup in Italy, I started to play football. Before that, I was completely protected by my family.

I loved football, and I always played football after school. At that time, with my classmates, we joined a tournament that held inside our college. My friend, Jack Tsoi, who was the best player amongst us that time, was appointed as our captain. Moreover, Jacky Ho (Keith), my closed friend who I really loved to pass the ball to him in front, has helped me to be a good passer, and eventually a mid-field player.

We played at least 2 times per week. Unfortunately, I have injured my right ankle in early 1991. I had to rely on my left foot more, that made my shooting not strong that time.

The tournament came, with the help of the not-so-helpful teachers, we were the third-runners up. Luckily, in the last game, I scored an important goal with my left foot, that has put me to a more important position in the team. From then, I trained both my feet together, and I played on left side of my team.

I know football is a physical game, and I know I met lots of different kind of people on the field. I got injury and argument with others, bt the team spirit always make me brave! I hated to be a loser, and I played hard to prevent it. I know that only I can protect myself on the field. I know my mistake could upset the whole team. I became strong, and from football, I became a Man from a Boy.
