Player Spotlight: Kenan Alrifai (Joyful FC)

[Translated from Arabic original text]

I help the younger boys warm up. They don’t listen much, but they try. Sometimes they just start shooting before we even stretch, and I give up and join them.

In Jeju, the players were really quick. I watched how they moved their feet, so fast and quiet. One of them showed me how to fake left and go right. I practiced it until my legs hurt. When I finally did it in a match, everyone shouted my name.

It felt like I learned a new word without using language.
