I like playing football, but I am not very good at it. I do not usually play on my school football team. I am a reserve player. This means that I play only if another player on the team can’t play or is hurt during a game. I have only played in one of the games this year. That was the game we played yesterday. In the middle of the game, one of the players hurt his knee. “Take his place,” the coach said. I ran onto the field. Soon a player on the other team ran towards me with the ball. We were both near my team’s goal. I ran towards him. I got the ball away from him. “ I can’t kick hard, “ I thought. “ I’ll kick the ball to my goal-keeper. He can pick it up and kick it to the other end of the field. “ I did this, but I kicked the ball too hard. The goal-keeper couldn’t get it. The ball went into the goal. I had scored on our own goal!
