We prepared, we had enough emotions, the coach motivated us strongly. We want to win, but this is football. I repeat: one quick goal decided everything. All we needed was a win, and naturally the team started to open up, so we lost.
I fell down, and I felt the enemy fall on top of me as well. I felt the grip and could not stand, but the referee, who was nearby, and the side referee were silent. Perhaps they are used to such a game, but we are not. If I could stand on my feet, I would.
