day finally came and I went to watch with my classmates.However,just about ten minutes after the game started,one member of our football team got injured and could no longer play.The other members looked worried.Then one of them came to me and asked,Can you play?At first,I shook my head,but then I nodded.Great!Come and play,he said.I followed him,having no idea at all what to do.To my joy,he asked me to play in defense（防守）.Defense was my favorite because I found it more fun and less complicated（复杂的）.Then the game began again.There werent a lot of big kids on the offensive line（攻击线）of the
