Introduction to Extended Metaphors in Sports
The soccer match was a battlefield, each player a warrior fighting tirelessly for victory. The ball was a fiery comet streaking across the field, and the players' energy was an unstoppable tidal wave, crashing through defenses and sweeping everything in its path. Every pass, a strategic move in a grand chess game, displayed the players' tactical brilliance. This game was more than just a sport; it was a symphony of strength, skill, and silent communication on the field.
