Because my sought after goal will always be to assist my team mates by scoring goals or creating chances for may teammates, while my concentration is fully focused on claiming victory in our matches, but I am happy with what I have achieved up until now.This is because we are working hard, and we will keep working to realize the team’s sought after goals. Sometimes we face some difficult times, but with the collective work and the continuous efforts we will keep going to claim the positive results.”
