Well, I think doing things collectively gives you more pleasure than doing it individually, uh, especially if you are with your friends. I also have done like, this kind of steamworks. But, uh, the first one that comes to my mind is the competitions sp competition. Me, my friends and I participated. It was a comfortable competition. Only students could participate inent participate. As I said, uh, I was with my friends, and I was with my friends with whom I had been playing, uh, football since I was 15. That’s why we we had a strong chemistry. And I we took our chance. And because we saw saw that we would have a, uh, chance to, uh, be successful. All matches were holding in herol in a stad stadium. It was a smaller stadium than a real pitch. But, uh, in this stadium it was because we were not like professional athletes. It was in mini football, uh, style. And we actually the competition started and we, as expected, we did a great job. We won all the three group stage matches. Uh, then knakout state started, uh, especially quarterf final. In knakout stage, quarterf final was very challenging because no one could, uh, win during an hour. All games, like, lasted 1 hour. Ah, that’s why we went to penalty and so on.

Well, I think doing things collectively gives you more pleasure than doing it individually, especially if you are with your friends. I've done many things with friends, but the first one that comes to mind is a sports competition. My friends and I participated in a mini-football tournament. It was a friendly competition, open only to students. I was with my friends, who I've been playing football with since I was 15. We had a strong chemistry and we felt confident about our chances of success. All the matches were held in a smaller stadium, more like a mini-football pitch, since we weren't professional athletes. The competition started and, as expected, we did a great job. We won all three group stage matches. Then the knockout stage began, and the quarter-finals were particularly challenging. No one could win within the hour, so all games went to penalties. We eventually made it to the final, but unfortunately, we lost 2-0. It was upsetting, of course, but losing in the final gave me a taste of what it feels like to be defeated. It was a great experience that I'll never forget, and I'd love to try something similar again in the future.
