Recently, there was a news article that touched me deeply, saying that although the Zhejiang team has little hope of qualifying for the AFC Champions League knockout round, they are still going all out to prepare for the game against Melbourne City. This spirit of not giving up and fighting to the end is what I think is the most beautiful thing about football.
First of all, the words of Frank, the captain of the Zhejiang team, gave me a lot of inspiration. He understands that even if he wins the game, the chances of promotion will be slim, but he still says his team will try to get three points. This attitude is a role model for professional footballers. Regardless of the outcome, we should give it our all. It's not just a responsibility to the fans, it's also a respect for yourself.
Frank also mentioned that the format of the AFC Champions League is a bit strange, but they can't influence it. It's an acceptance of the reality that players have to play to the best of their ability, regardless of the rules. It's a sign of professionalism and an attitude that every player should learn Xi.
Regarding Frank's contract extension, I think that's also a positive sign. He had a great time with the Zhejiang team, which means that the club has given him enough respect and support. A player's performance on the field is closely related to his life off the field. Only by having fun can you play your best on the field.
In addition, Frank's assessment of the Chinese Super League is also pertinent. He mentioned that there are advantages and disadvantages of the Super League, but this is the reality of football. No league is perfect, it's how you find your place in the existing environment. He also mentioned that foreign players usually perform better in the Chinese Super League, which reflects the current situation of Chinese football from one side. Chinese football does need more excellent foreign players to improve the overall level, and at the same time, it also needs local players to learn from middle schools and Xi to improve themselves.
Finally, Frank's views on stress are also worth learning from Xi each of us. On the football field, pressure is everywhere, but it's how you face it that matters. Frank's phrase "keep going, keep playing, you'll get better" should be the motto in every player's life, if not everyone's.
In general, although the Zhejiang team is facing difficulties this time, the spirit they showed is worth learning from each Xi. It's not just the spirit of football, it's the attitude of life. In the face of difficulties and challenges, we should forge ahead and give our all, even if victory is out of reach.
