Well for today's game, I'm pumping for it! Got my fab teammates, and I have the perfect girl whom I'm dating, I can't find anything to complain about. I definitely can't wait to see Kacey later on. Anyway, I need to focus on the game but I do want to make Kacey proud of me.
"Right lads, I want you to remember what we've been discussing about for this game. They've remained unbeaten for the last eight games at home and you've all been observing those games. Keep your eye on the ball. Watch out for Walsh, Smith and Dumonte. You need speed, awareness around you and keep tight hold of the ball, or they'll have the majority of the possession... let's go!!"
I nod and mentally take note of every word spoken by the boss man. We all high five and make our way towards the tunnel. As we're the visitors, we'll go out on to the pitch first. Five minutes or so later, the whistle blows for kick off.
So far, I think we're doing good. Every time I see one of my teammates, they are having possession of the ball. I finally get a good strong run, seeing Richie, I kick the ball towards him.
"I didn't know you could actually go fast, always had the impression you were a snail, Grainger!"
I turn when I hear my name being said, and it's Walsh, he's stood there, smirking at me. What, I ask myself. Confused. I just say...
"Alright, mate."
I see him muttering something to himself, but I'm unable to hear what he's muttered.
Again, I see the ball coming towards me from Peter, then I manage to take the ball, pass it to Richie who then scores. Yes! Get in! We all huddle together to celebrate. Then the ball is taken to the other side.
"Maybe you should be celebrating, seeing as you haven't got much else to celebrate lately, Grainger!"
Richie looks over towards me whilst side-eyeing Walsh. I just shrug my shoulders at him. This time I try to ignore Walsh. Maybe he should focus more on the game than on me.
They score so now we're equal. Fans are roaring with their chants. What an awesome atmosphere!
I'm running down on the inside, I don't see Richie anywhere in my view so I get as close as I can while keeping tight on the ball, somehow I manage to get it in the net. The next second, I feel Richie, Peter and the rest of my teammates crowding round me and patting me on the back. I run to wave at the fans to show them how much they mean to us. As I'm walking back to where I need to be, I'm accosted by Walsh, again.
