Dialogue

Dialogue 1

Muller:Hi, coach. How was your weekend?

Coach:Not bad. Thank you. How did you play yesterday?

Muller:It was great. We won 2-0. I had an assist and scored a winner in the last minute.

Coach:Well done. Sounds like you are happy with your attacking. Then what do you think you can improve?

Muller:Defending. I think I wasn't quick enough to close down the space and screen the passes.

Coach:OK. Good to recognize that. You know, this week's topic is defending. Use this chance to work really hard on your defending, all right?

Muller:Yeah, I will. Thank you, Coach.

Coach:You're welcome. Have a nice day. See you later.

Muller:Same to you. Bye.

Dialogue

Dialogue 2

Romario:Hi, coach. Thank you for being here to support us. Could you tell me how my performance was in this game?

Coach:First of all, tell me your thoughts about it.

Romario:I think I didn't play well as a striker. I always lost the ball somehow. And I seemed to lose my confidence to beat the defenders.

Coach:That's fine. As I see it, you've made couple of good forward runs with the ball. And your movement off the ball can often create space for other teammates. All you need is to increase your physical strength and use it to shelter the ball better.

Romario:OK, thank you, coach. I'll try my best to improve it.

Coach:Just be confident. I believe you'll achieve a goal soon.

Romario:Thank you for encouraging me. That means a lot to me.

Coach:You're welcome. Keep going.

Quotes

I think my desire to always get better is a trait that accounts for my success,

To always want more,

To always be my top critic,

And accept the good and the bad.

– Lionel Messi

我总是想变得更好，就是这个决心和品质帮助我取得成功。

我总是想得到更多，

总是对自己最挑剔，

无论好的坏的都一一接受。

——里奥-梅西
