Track 29 Interviewer: Hello and welcome! Today, we have a special guest - Anna, a professional footballer who plays for her country's national women's team. She recently returned from an international match in Spain. Thank you for joining us, Anna! Anna: Thank you for having me. I'm happy to be here and share my story. Interviewer: Let's start from the beginning. Did you enjoy school when you were younger? Anna: School was okay, but I often found the lessons slow and boring. I didn't like sitting at a desk all day. I was always full of energy and wanted to move around and be active. Interviewer: What did you like doing at school? |  | Anna: I loved playing football. Every break time, I ran outside with my friends and we played games on the school field. I was fast and strong, and I never gave up, even when we lost. I always wanted to get better. Interviewer: When did football become more than just a game for you? Anna: It became my passion when I was about 10 years old. I started training at a local football club in my town every evening after school. Even when it was cold, raining, or snowing, I still went to the field and practised my skills. It was hard work but very rewarding. I felt alive when I played. Interviewer: That sounds amazing! What did your parents think about your dream? Anna: At first, they didn't support it. They wanted me to be a doctor or a teacher - something more traditional. They thought football was a risky choice and worried about how I would earn money in the future. Interviewer: And how did you feel about that? Anna: It was hard. I felt sad and frustrated. But I didn't give up. I knew I wouldn't be happy in an office job or working in a hospital. I kept training and joined a girls' football team in the next city. I had to take the train there twice a week. Interviewer: When did your dream start to come true? Anna: When I was 18, I was chosen to play for my country in a youth international tournament. It was in Germany, and I still remember standing on the pitch, hearing the national anthem. That was a very special moment for me. I realised that my dream was possible. Interviewer: One last question - what advice do you have for young people with big dreams? Anna: Believe in yourself. Don't let others stop you. If you work hard, stay strong,
