(Charlie's POV)

"The Copa Del Rey championship has now gone underway. We must try to avoid giving up goals because doing so could cost us, so maintain our composure and rally the audience. The key is momentum. We have come this far thanks to our perseverance and faith. However, focus and attention to detail are now equally crucial. All of your efforts are for naught if you have one moment of distraction. Do your best to prevail!" Those were the motivational words that the manager had for you all before heading off to the pitch.

Before Marco could stand up to head off to the pitch you had a couple of words for him.

"Just some word of advice if you feel like doing something, then do it. Even if it turns out to be the wrong choice feel free to do it. It's clear to me, that you have the potential to be a monster. Lorenzo the difference between your decisions and ours arises from the the gap in experience. But you see, you don't need to depend on such a thing. Decide. Either believe in yourself or betray your thoughts and put your faith into your own hands. You should do your best to make a decision you won't regret." You left it at that, now Marco was deep in thought for a couple of seconds looking back at you once.

"I-I'm ready." He said

"We'll know soon enough but remember if you're scared before a match you have already lost."

The team formation that was currently in place was 3 in the back, Marco being the central figure of that, although the could push into the midfield position when needed.  Two in the midfield, of course, Sae being one of them. As well there is an aggressive front 5 against the Atletico Madrid players. Our front 5 against the 4 defenders me being one of the 5's. A goal was most certainly coming.

Sae who was in the midfield pinged the ball so fluidly to you as you were on the far right side of the field, receiving it with the usual ease. Shortly after Calvin makes a run into the half-space thankfully for him, he is not found out by the defenders. You didn't think it'd be the best option for you to pass to Calvin even if he wasn't found by the defenders at that moment he would shortly be stopped in his track, so you decided to cut inside, instead doing an alternative move doing a one-two with Calvin. In doing so right back had been drawn in. It meant that Josh was free due to the 5 vs 4 we had going on. Josh's time to shine would be right now, right here.

You send the ball over to him, where he has a tremendous amount of space. Josh cuts inside from the left flank creating more space than he already had Josh takes a quick touch and hammers a right-footed strike past the goalkeeper.

GOAL
(1-0)

"Scoring those goals is what I do, can't stop won't stop!" Josh shouted for everyone to hear, all we knew was that in this game, at this very moment, we were going to eat up the opposition alive.

Josh quickly turned to look over at all the boys.

"Once this football season is over I reckon we fly out to another country, any suggestion?"  Josh inquired about all of you.

"Hold up a second let's focus on winning this game and the UEFA Youth finals before we go talking about the flying to another country."

"Alright, alright I see we need the incentive to go I'm on vacation I can work with that let's just smack this team silly." Josh chuckled.

"Let's get back to the game."
