Kenji arrived at the school's training ground.
Aoi: You're here.
Kenji: Yeah.
Aoi: Come meet the team.
She blow her will before the players all came towards them.
Aoi: Everyone this is Takahashi, his our new...winger?
Kenji: RW, RWB, RM and RB.
???: So you're the brat who stole my number.
Aoi: Hey, no picking on the new member.
Aoi: Don't worry guys, he could be useful.
Aoi: No also using him as an errand boy, he could be really useful to us, I know you all saw the under 19 finals.
???: So his the one from the match.
Aoi: Takahashi, get introduce to the team, this is the captain, Jiro Tachibana.
The captain was tall with a bit of muscular build with blonde hair and brown eyes.
Kenji: Hello.
Aoi: And the rest of the starting 11, the Substitutes and the reserves, you'll be on the beach for now, Taketora you're being put on the reserve list.
Taketora: What, is this because of the own goal incident!
AI: That isn't the problem, as been playing well so I'm giving him a chance on the starting 11.
Taketora: Forgot this.
Tachibana: Hold up, the manager's right and don't worry you'll be out of the reserve list soon.
He turned to Kenji.
Tachibana: Real soon, come on guys back to practice, guys.
They all headed back to practice.
AI: Don't worry about them.
...
Kenji was on the beach watching his team behind 2-0.
Kenji: Hey, do you mind putting me in the match.
AI: There's barely 15 minutes left, the match is basically over.
Kenji: Trust me.
AI called for a substitution putting Kenji on the RM.
Kenji called for the ball but his teammate passed it back to the keeper who shot it forward to the captain.
The captain had the ball stolen from him before the team started a canter attack he passed the ball to a teammate who passed Kenji.
The player took the shot with the keeper diving but nothing came the other players turn to Kenji who had the ball.
AI: When did he steal it?
Kenji went at it some of the other team were on his tail before tricking them with a fake pass then delivered a back hill to the captain who scored.
The other team restart the match going on the attack taking a shot from mid field barely troubling the keeper who got a hold of it.
The keeper throw the ball to a mid fielder who almost sent it out of play but Kenji intercepted making a descent run before crossing the ball from the right mid to the captain who missed the shot before the referee ended the match.
AI: Takahashi, good first match.
Kenji: You think.
AI: I see a lot of other matches coming your way.
