B:Well, a doctor’s life can be quite stressful as I have many patients to see. l usually leave my apartment at 6.30 am and get to work by seven in the morning. I work 12-hour shifts in the hospital. Being a doctor means I have to make correct decisions all the time which puts a lot of pressure on me.

I:Hello,Fred.What is your life like as a football player

On the plus side, I get to travel a lot to different countries for matches and of course, hearing people cheer you on is great!
