Don't give up 永不放弃

23rd April 2016  /  life upon life, significant story

I and my teammates took park in “mayor’s cup” football competition in middle school, a group of active teenagers started off. 

We didn’t know how strong our opponents were. In the first round, they made the football alive at their feet, it was difficult for us to capture it. The football rolled to the forbidden zone, and I was nervous. Suddenly, their striker turned it back and their capture inserted vacancy, he kicked it in the net, he made the score 1:0. We didn’t realize he would make a goal suddenly, we were shocked. But they were like splitting bamboo, and the score was 3:0.

We were quiet and discouraged at break. I thought I had to do something as the capture before the second half.I gathered them, but we didn’t dare to look straight at each other. I raised my hand and said ”together!” a dozen hands put together and said” Fighting! Fighting!” I said again” Fighting!” we lived back, I saw morale in their eyes. 

In the second half, we tried our best and got two scores. We smiled in the sunset. Even though we lost the match, we encouraged each other, we stood up from setback and overcame ourselves.

初中时,我和我的队员去参加“市长杯”足球赛,一群热血沸腾的少年出发了。那时还不知道即将要面对的对手有多强,第一场比赛开场后,对方前锋摆出三叉戟的阵势,球在他们脚下仿佛有了生命一般,我方后卫很难抢到,求进了禁区,我不禁捏了把冷汗,突然,对方前锋一个回传,队长插入空位,一记远射吊门,球在空中划过守门员的指尖“1:0”,谁也没想到进球来得这么突然,队友们被打蒙了,对方却势如破竹,将比分扩大到了“3:0”中场休息,面对这个比分,队友们沉默不语,想必也是灰心丧气到了极点沉默不语至下半场开始,作为队长,我想我必须得做点什么。我将队员们召集在了一起,大家都不敢直视彼此的眼神,我将手悬在空中,喊道“一起来”,十几双手叠在了一起,“我不多说了,加油,加油!”我再次吼道,“加油!加油”队员们也几乎是吼了出来,那群热血的少年又回来了,我在队员们灰暗的眼眸中看到了重新燃起的斗志。下半场,在全队的拼搏下,在激烈的拼抢下,我方终于收获了两粒来之不易的进球。残阳如血,我们晒得黝黑的脸庞上露出了久违的笑容。尽管最后还是输了比赛,但我们互相鼓励,从挫折中站了起来,战胜了自我。
