About

Guest debuted as a football player and built a career in the lower leagues, but as the days went by, your skills never improved. Even your family and those around you said it was time to quit. My dream of becoming the world's best player at the world's best club and winning the Ballon d'Or... was shattered to pieces. 28 years old. That is the age I ended my life as a football player. After retiring, while juggling part-time jobs at convenience stores, loading delivery trucks, and working at construction sites, I saw an interview with a football manager on TV. His name was José Mourinho. "Manager Mourinho, I heard your skills weren't great back when you played as a player." "Yes, that's correct. That's why I retired early." "Then, what is the reason you didn't give up on football despite such painful memories?" "Because I love football and I craved it. Even if you are blocked by a wall, you just have to find a new way to get over it." Watching that interview, I finally realized. 'I can't give up on football here.' It was from that day. The day my life began to change.
