AUDIO TRANSCRIPT
Speaker 1: Many people think that strikers are the most important players, but I disagree. My job is to stop the ball from going into the goal, so I need to be quick and stay focused on the game. I wear gloves to help me catch the ball, and sometimes I have to jump or dive to make a save, which can be fun but also really challenging. My friends call me 'the cat' because I'm so agile, and being tall definitely helps. I also shout instructions to my teammates to help us work together in defense. It feels amazing when the fans sing my name.
Speaker 2: I shout a lot and let the players know how I feel, but I need them to know that they have to do what I say - although they do not always listen to me! I use the whistle if I want the players to stop. I need to stay calm and think quickly, even if we are losing the game. It really annoys me when the other team’s players waste time or if they pretend they are hurt. I can be quite tough. The most important thing is that everyone has fun. Maybe this season I will try to be less strict, but I’m not sure!
Speaker 3: I am not allowed to support either team because I have to be fair. If I make a decision, I normally blow my whistle, so the players know that I am the boss. I enjoy being part of the action, instead of up in the stands - I have the best view of the game. When I was younger, I used to feel very stressed, because the fans are not normally very nice to me, but now I know how to deal with it. I really love soccer, I’m just not very good at scoring goals! There is a lot of pressure because everyone is always looking at me, but I just try to do my job.
Speaker 4: I love to watch my team play. I wear our famous kit and chant songs with my friends. My team is not very good, but I love them. I went to my first match when I was six years old with my dad, and now I take my own children. I can’t play anymore because I hurt my ankle, but I used to score lots of goals. The stadium is a sacred place for me, and I watch every match. It is also fun to travel to other cities and meet new people. When it is the World Cup, I support my country. I feel so excited. It is a chance to interact with people from different countries and have a big party.
