Kick Off|Book 1

Chapter 19

This was it, our last match of the season.

We had practiced so much and improved our game over the past 3 days and today we were ready to play the match against Leicester City.

We were playing at their home grounds and they had the first kick off.

The whistle blew for the start of the matches.

They had some great passing and amazing dribbling skills, they got the ball I tot the box and crossed it in.

It was a beautiful header and hit the back of the net in the the top right corner, they had scored in just 5 minutes. We started with the kick off but our passing was rubbish and they got the ball of us easily, the striker ran up to the goal heading straight for De Gae, De Gae ran towards him, the striker passed a simp pass to the left winger, it was an open goal, Leicester City had scored again and only 17 minutes had passed.

We had the kick off again, I passed to Wayne who then passed Matteo who dribbled up to the halfway line and passed to me on the left wing, I dribbled up the left wing and passed to Schweinsteiger, but the ball was intercepted by the Leicester City Striker who ran with the ball up to the half way line and passed to the left wing, I intercepted the ball and passed a high ball to where Wayne was running, it was a great pass, but it was called offside.

Leicester City took the kick and booted into the box, the striker was waiting there for the header, he jumped in the air and the ball hit his head and went in, a goal again, I thought we had lost the match now but then the ref called offside. Yes we still had a chance I thought.

The whistle blew for half time as De Gae was taking the offside kick.

Boss wasn't very proud of us and looked so red, I thought he was a tomato.

The whistle blew for the second half.

We started with the kick off this time. Wayne passed to me, I passed to Herrera who then dribbled up in the left wing and passed to me, I was in the box and ready for the header, it hit my head but the shot missed by mile according to the commentator. I had a great chance for the team and I wasted it.

Now 76 minutes had passed, I knew we had lost.

I got the ball and passed a high ball to Schweinsteiger who then dribbled up to the box and passed it int me, I was ready for this shot and chipped it over the keepers head, it the post and went in, a fantastic goal. The score was now 1-2. Leicester City had the kick off but as soon as they passed the ball the whistle went for the end of the match, the end of the season and maybe the end of my career.....

We had come 2nd in the Barclays Premier League with Chelsea coming first and Man City third. I was very disappointed in my self until I heard the news.

I had a offer of signing in with Real Madrid. I thought to myself. Should I take this opportunity or stay at Man U?
