“Mr. Carter, we’ve noticed that as a child you dabbled in many fields—basketball, table tennis, badminton, Go, checkers, Gomoku, Chinese chess, international chess, calligraphy and painting, guitar and music... Does this mean that even if you hadn’t chosen football as your profession, you could have achieved the same success in other areas?”

“Well... Only in football do I have a passion that lasts far longer than just a passing interest.”

“So all those things we listed before were just fleeting interests for you?”

“Those were just my hobbies.”

“What about football? Isn’t football your hobby?”

“No, football is love!”
