My eyes fluttered open and I noticed I was the first awake so I scrolled on my phone and saw that it said Mark Robins is in danger of being sacked. Apparently, the club wants a big name ex player to bring in more publicity as a manager.
Simms wakes up and I tell him the news, he then wakes everybody up and tells them too.
Time Skip🤌
Me and the rest of the team arrived at training. We have played 36 games in the league so far and we are still in the FA Cup. We were about to meet our new manager,Robbie Keane, in person. He played for Coventry for a small time and played 34 games and scored 12 goals.
Me, Simms and Torp arrived 20 minutes early so we warmed up and then done some 1-on-1s. I tackled Simms a few times and teased him by saying he was 'in my pocket'. It was my turn to attack and I done an elastic through Torp's legs and chipped Simms (who temporarily went in goal).
Torp stood there looking at the floor with his hands on his hips and then sighed a sigh of defeat,"You done me there Karl, I'll tell you that." I laughed and then we went to the new gaffer to begin training.
Time skip-a-roo
It was the semifinals of the FA Cup vs Chelsea that we fought our way to after beating Man Utd 3-1 in the quarters. I took a new position on the pitch which was central midfielder. The whistle blew and I received the ball, I scanned around and saw a run on the left flank by Wright. I whipped my foot around the ball putting it over the top to Wright who volleyed it but it hit the crossbar. It rebounded out to Torp who hit it and it hit the left post.
(37' minute) The crowd roared as the ball was kicked out by Gusto in panic for a corner. It Is whipped onto Simms head who heads it but it is saved and cleared out. It bounces out of the box in front of me, I hit it on the half volley and strike through the ball and watched as it dips into the top left corner.
I run off to the corner flag and jump in the air, I swing my leg out kicking the corner flag, which then broke because of it. We were now 1-0 up against a Premier League team in the semi-final. The flag was replaced and we kept playing. We maintained possession and had an attack or two occasionally.
Until, Mudryk was pacing down on goal. I ran as fast as I could and caught up to him, I slide tackled him and swiftly got up and cleared the ball. I heard the sweet sound of the final whistle. We were going into the finals vs Liverpool.
I made my way to the tunnel but was stopped and given a man of the match trophy. I gazed at it, speechless. I thanked the person and went to the changing rooms. I was met by my teammates and we celebrated making it to the final.
We chanted each others chants for a bit on the bus journey back then parted ways to our own homes. I put my trophy on the shelf and received messages on my phone. "What was that? ", my dad asked, eagerly. I read the messages.
Bob Ross:Yo the gaff has got us to arrange our own house in Coventry that we can live in for the limbs.
Wrighty-O:I would but I live with my girlfriend.
Pacey boy 2.0:Same as Wright
Victor Torpedo:I'll join.
I asked my parents for permission and they agreed so I said yes too and packed my bags for the next day. I fell asleep early that night.
I woke up and had to leave so I said my goodbyes to my Mum and Dad and set off to live with Simms, Torp and Jayden.
I arrived at the house and was third there we just awaited for Jay. I got a room with Simms and shown him the evolution chain I done with him on FC 25.
"Aww nice", he said. Jayden then arrived later on.
"What shall we do?", Torp asked as we sat in boredom in the living room.
"I don't know, maybe play career mode because why not?", Jayden suggested.Small time skip
"damn Karl has 90 potential", Simms said.
"Jayden has 88",I added.We played for about 3 hours then got off after going through 2 seasons on it.
"Let's go for a run around the area", I suggested.
"What, why?", the others asked in unison.
"Nah trust me it'll be mint"
20 minutes later.
"We are still lost bloody hell, Karl", Torp exclaimed"Oops, does anybody have their phone", I questioned.
We followed a satnav and got home at 9pm and got an early night sleep.
------------------
Writer's noteI just realised that card wouldn't have been good anymore if its that late into the season but just ignore that.
Also, anybody notice the parallel that my goal was the exact same as the one in chapter one?
Byeeee.
