In fact, there' s nothing he loves more than playing football. In his school, Gabriel not only does {#blank#}4{#/blank#} than other players in his school team but also is the captain of his gym team.

    He knows that his disability means he will never be able to play for a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} football team. So Gabriel is hoping that football {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a Paralympics (残奥会) event one day. He proved to everyone there he could go neck and neck with any other boy {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.
