Gilgamesh pages 21-39
"Two people, companions, they can prevail together,"
and Enkidu seized the Bull by the reeking tail
and Gilgamesh thrust his sword with the skill of a butcher
between the shoulders and horns, and they killed the Bull" Gilgamesh, Pg 34
This reminds me to my experience in the soccer team. As almost everyone knows a soccer team is made up of 11 players on the field. I play as a goalkeeper and altough I'm good at it, we lost many games. By playing yourself, you could do great things but not enough to win a match because you're facing another 11 players of the opponent team. Not even Pele won by playing alone. You need to work in companion to beat the other team. That is crucial for you in life if you want to succed.
The same occured in Gilgamesh. The Bull of Heaven was clearly a a superior being and it was stronger than any of this two by themselves. Enkidu tried and tried in every way he could to defeat the Bull but as strong as he was, it was imposible. Enkidu asked Gilgamesh for help and that is when they succeded. When each one attacked a different part of the Bull, they managed to control him and eventually kill him. Not only in soccer but in every aspect of life, working together is easier and more effective.

I think that you're right in saying you always need to use teamwork. Especially in soccer, which is mainly a team sport, you need to work as a team. Great Job
