A football team needs all the players to work
together and help each other. Each player should
play to their strengths. Shouting at your
teammate was unfair and just make him feel worse.
Although you both said things to each
other, one of you has to be first to say sorry.
Dont be stubborn! You say that your
is as important as football. Well, then you
should be to get your friendship
back. Dont let a small disagreement ruin your
friendship. Do not delay. Talk to your friend and
Im sure that before long, youll be back playing
football together.
