A footballer?s life starts ? the weekend. Most people go out ? Friday night, but I have to be in bed ? 10 o?clock. ? Saturday I get up ? 8 o?clock ? the morning and drive to the stadium ? noon. ? lunchtime our manager talks about the team we are playing. We play most of our games ? the winter and sometimes it can be hard to play ? a cold Saturday afternoon, especially ? January. It isn?t much fun ? Christmas either. We play a lot of games ? the Christmas holiday. Although we don?t play ? Christmas Day, we do play ? December 26th, so I can?t eat or drink too much! It would be nice to spend more time with my family ? that day, but I can?t.
