famous as what you are with the football team.
Adli : My aim is not to be popular. I just want to enjoy sports. Be it football or softball,
I want to make sure my body is fit and I can mix with different kinds of people.
Faisal : I think Mr. Haslan will be disappointed to know this news. He always says
there’s no other goal scorer better than you.
Adli : I’ve informed him earlier. He understood and accepted my decision. You
know what? The good news is, he told me you’ll be appointed as the new
captain and Rasyid will take over my position.
Faisal : What? My best friend will be the new striker? I’m really happy. He’ll be very
happy if he knew that he’s no more a reserve.
Adli : Last year, he had showed tremendous improvement. He even scored a very
beautiful sudden death goal although he only replaced me when I was injured.
Mr. Haslan was very proud of him.
Faisal : I hope he’ll score more goals this season. By the way, good luck to you in
softball. I believe you can do well in football.
Adli : Thank you. Good luck to you too, Captain.
