The listening was fairly easy, as it likely used straightforward terminology related to football and player health.
Unfortunately, there is a problem with pictures for the first task.
Warming up and cooling down are absolutely essential for injury prevention and overall performance. A good warm-up increases blood flow to muscles, improves flexibility, and prepares the body for intense physical activity. Warming down after a match helps to gradually reduce heart rate, prevent muscle stiffness, and aid recovery. It’s a crucial part of a player’s routine to maintain fitness throughout the season.
Players like Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) and Eder Militão (Real Madrid) were sidelined due to serious injuries in recent months. These injuries can keep players out of action for extended periods, making physiotherapy and recovery plans vital for their return.

Listening was great and easy!!
Is very importan to warm up before to practice any sport, that isn't only for football players, to avoid injures and muscles hurts. Cooling down is important too after sports activities.
I don't know about football, but, I suppose there are a lot of football players that now can't play because they are injured.

If you do not warm-up you could get injured. Warm-down is important to drain the lactic acid after matches and it avoids pain forth.
