The author's father was a skilled footballer who played on his own team and inspired the author's interest in the sport from a young age by talking about Manchester United. The author played football in school and was on his school team that played in the final of a tournament, though he did not pursue football professionally. Now in 10th class, football remains the author's hobby and he plays for enjoyment, intending to continue playing at the university level without becoming a professional player.

match of the Moscow School Games. My father did
everything to see that I excelled in the game.
Unfortunately, I did not go far in football.
