Player Spotlight: Yousef Almasto Albakri (Joyful FC)

[Translated from Arabic original text]

I play defense but I like going forward when no one expects it. Sometimes the coach yells, but then he laughs if I score. My friends call me “captain,” but it’s just a joke.

In Jeju, the air feels different. When we run, I can smell the grass, and it sticks to my shoes. We trained with Korean kids once, and I tried to copy how they stretch. They all count out loud, like one, two, three, and I joined them. It was funny because I didn’t know what came after.

I don’t think about big dreams. I just want to play more games like that.
