Kick Off|Book 1

Chapter 15

The whistle blew for the start of the match against Aston Villa, my leg was much better and there was no pain. Aston Villa started with the first kick off and there passing was terrible, I got the ball of them easily, I passed to Herrera who then passed to Matteo and he dribbled with the ball passed half way line, he passed to Schweinsteiger who then passed to me, I dribbled into the box and went for the shot, it hit the net in the top left corner. I hadn't played for ages and I had scored, all my mates jumped on me and I spotted my family sheering for me, actually everyone was cheering me on, boss had a huge smile on his face and gave me a thumbs up. Now 44 minutes had passed and Aston Villa had the kick off, this time their passing was really good.

The whistle blew for half time.

We all had a drink. Then the whistle blew for the second half and we had the kick off. I passed to Schweinsteiger who then passed to Matteo, Matteo then passed to Herrera who dribbled up to half way line and passed to Wayne, Wayne then passed to me, I dribbled up the left wing but the defender got the ball of me easily.

Aston Villa had the ball and they were passing it around very well but Wayne interfered the pass and dribbled up to the box on the right wing, he crossed it into Schweinsteiger who did a phenomenal header but the keeper just got his hands on the ball.

It was a wonderful save.

Now 87 minutes had passed, we had to defend our goal and we would win and that's exactly what we did.

The whistle blew for the end of the match we had won. We were still first on the ladder with 64 points with Chelsea in second with 62 points and in third was Man City with 61 points. There was only three more matches left of the season, one was in 2 days against Crystal Palace.

After we had shakes hands, the team met up in the locker rooms for a meeting, boss said we had played a wonderful match but needs more practice with our headers, he told us that tomorrow we would meet in the locker rooms at 7am and practice our headers.

I and Wayne went to the coffee shop with mum, Joel and Isabella. Mum told me she had bought the house next to Wayne's mansion, it was double story, had 6 rooms and 6 bathrooms. I was very happy, she said soon they would stop having to take the taxi and be able to buy a car, I was very proud of her after the coffee. Wayne and I went home and dropped mum, Joel and Isabella in their new home, they said they would now go and buy furniture for the house.

I and Wayne then watched TV

We had dinner.

And went to bed.

I woke up at 5am and woke Wayne up, we had breakfast and played a match of FIFA, he beat me. I have to admit he's good on the field but also on the TV. He then drove us to our home grounds and we met the team in the locker rooms, for practice we had to choose a partner, I went with Wayne.

We had to use our heads to pass the ball to each other and then after five passes we would shoot using our heads. This was a fun practice, but it wasn't finished yet.

We then had to practice our running, we had to get partners again, I went with Matteo this time. One person had to hold a rope that was strapped on the other persons belt, they had to hold them back while the other person that was wearing the belt tried to run, I have to say this was a very hard exercise. I didn't get very far since I'm not very muscular but Matteo pulled me along with him. He is very strong and built up guy and he's only 19. I wish I could have muscles, I'm like a stick and that's a bad thing.

The team had trained and we were now ready for the match against Crystal Palace.

The whistle blew for the match against Crystal Palace.
