Interview with Rising Star Yifan Ma

Reporter: Yifan, thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. Let's start with your recent form, which has been exceptional. How do you maintain such a high level of performance?

Yifan Ma: Thank you for having me. I believe it all comes down to my practice ethics. I take my career very seriously and I am always looking for ways to improve both on and off the pitch. My coach appreciates my work ethics and I make sure to dedicate myself fully to the game.

Reporter: That dedication is certainly paying off. However, you have yet to play any matches this season. Can you share with us why that is?

Yifan Ma: Unfortunately, I have been dealing with some injuries that have kept me off the pitch. But I am working hard to get back to full fitness and I am confident that I will be able to contribute to the team soon.

Reporter: Speaking of injuries, you have a reputation for playing through pain. How do you manage to do so?

Yifan Ma: I guess you could say my body is more of a ruin than a temple. I have pushed through injuries and concussions in the past, but I know that I need to take care of myself better moving forward.

Reporter: You mentioned your favorite club to play against is LUC. What is it about playing against them that you enjoy?

Yifan Ma: I always enjoy the challenge of facing LUC. They are a strong team and it pushes me to perform at my best. Plus, the atmosphere when we play against them is always electric.

Reporter: And finally, can you share with us a random interesting fact about your life outside of football?

Yifan Ma: Well, one thing that not many people know about me is that I am a huge fan of cooking. I love experimenting with different recipes and creating new dishes in the kitchen. It's a great way for me to relax and unwind after a tough match.

Reporter: Thank you for sharing that with us, Yifan. We wish you all the best in your recovery and look forward to seeing you back on the pitch soon.

Yifan Ma: Thank you, it was my pleasure.
