"If you want to play professionally, you can't be ashamed of who you are."
英文文本参考：
Watching the World Cup recently, I was really inspired by Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha and Haaland, who are fighting for their countries. It reminded me of a line from the movie Pelé: Birth of a Legend. If you wanna play professionally, you can’t be ashamed of who you are. Vozinha was 40 years old when he finally stepped onto the World Cup stage for the first time.After the match, he ran into the stands and hugged his mom.That touching moment reminded me of Pelé. As a boy from a Brazilian slum, he reached a bigger stage also because of the support from his family.When Pelé was young, he didn’t have a real football, so he filled socks with newspapers. Even mangoes became his training balls.No football boots? He played barefoot.No football field? He trained on dirt roads.By today’s standards, those were far from proper training conditions.But it was exactly in that environment, with his determination, that he developed his own way of playing football.That’s why the movie highlights the Brazilian football tradition called Ginga.When most people questioned this style and wanted him to change, Pelé stayed with it.Many people see Ginga as just a skill. But for Pelé, it was much more than that. It was a way to turn his environment into an advantage, and a way to express who he was.And when I look at Cape Verde, I see something similar.Today, Cape Verde is a middle-income country. But for a long time, they didn’t even have a standard international football stadium. The national team had to play home games abroad, until China helped build the national stadium.Without expensive facilities, they relied on teamwork.Without superstar players, they relied on everyone’s contribution.In a way, this is Cape Verde’s own Ginga.Vozinha’s story shows this even more.He was turned down by European youth teams many times as a teenager due to his small frame and only went pro at 25. He was always a little behind that timeline. But he kept moving forward in his own way.Haaland’s story is another example.His talent is undeniable. He could have chosen a stronger football nation.But he chose Norway.Because for him, representing his own country is also part of the dream. He didn’t choose the easiest path. He chose the one that felt true to him. When he celebrates his goals with his meditation pose, I feel he knows clearly what he is chasing.Maybe that’s what makes football so fascinating.It has systems and a common path. But everyone can still find their own Ginga.
