Football makes you feel not alone.
The football team of Journalism Institution hasn’t faced such difficult situation ever. When May arrives, the team are still suffering a great shortage of new members, which makes this year’s School Cup matches not so easy for them to play. But they always hold a faith that they’re never alone.

In this year’s School Cup, journalism football team has got one game win after one lose, they still just have a no more than 20 players involved but they’re clearly positive and ambitious to strike forward like they always believes: they’re alone.
As usual, the Journalism team should have at least 40 players training and playing football together, while last term, they had just got 4 new members in grade 1. Now the total number of players in the team is just less than 20.
“We should have been stronger if we have recruited more,” said Jia Jiale, goalkeeper who also plays for the school team. In most people’s eyes, journalism is never supposed to be a team that seems to have that tough situation.
“I remember the first year I got into this football team, there were almost 50 people in total! In those years, it’s even pretty difficult to divide fairly sides when we kick off in training,” said Zhou Yutong, the only grade 4 member in the team.
Why appears this situation? Some players thinks it is because it has been more and more difficult for middle school students who wants to enter our institution. It’s true that the entering scoring limitation has been adding up year by year, “for a school that focuses and is famous for art and journalism, higher entering scoring limitation means boy students will have less interests and possibility to consider going to this college after their entrance examination. “The next year may be harder for the team if we still fail to get more ‘fresh blood’, so in my best wishes, I’d like to see some changes in the further,” said Zhang Ze, grade 3, center guard.
That is just not big deal, however, in some big guy’s mind. Cui Jianqiang, the captain which is also in charge of the basketball team of our institution, believes that, if the whole team keep doing what they used to do and get more inspired, then it should not have so much problems for them to get good grades in this year’s School Cup matches. “Like the classic proverb in football world says, you’ll never walk alone. We have been training hard for almost one month, and some of us even have the extra training, all are just for one simple goal that, we want to win every game and approve that we are still invincible and competitive.
