Two best friends one named pele the other named joseph.(names are fictional)
The two boys are in their late teens.
Pele is a very talented soccer player who doesn't really care much
about other things(school,hobbies),he has an out-going personality,he is smart and
very witty.His best friend is joseph he is an A+ student,an introvert
and a super geek who takes life very serious.
pele has a dream to go for
a tryout over-seas so he decides to start a fund raising project so
he can get money and be eligible for a visa and get a scholarship
through an online network.he raises 25000 rands by creating soccer
videos online and marketing small brands.most of the money is made through youtube and blogging.
pele is ready for his trip and than he
decides to bring his friend(joseph) over on his trip but the
only way the friend can come is if he is also going for a try out.his
friend(joseph) is a 3rd year engineering student studying through a bursary.the trip
becomes a success.
during the tryout pele gets injured due to training
overload and the friend who only plays soccer for fun during his spare
time makes the cut.pele becomes supportive never-the-less.as time goes
by the two run out of money and so pele has to go back home as the
team can only accomodate contracted players
joseph decides to use his
monthly allowance to pay peles rent and rehabilitation.pele starts
making bad friends and always goes night clubbing,he develops a deep
affection for the night life..He starts taking marijuana to keep up
with this fast life,this slows down his rehabilitation process even
more..he develops a negative attitude towards life and spends most of
his time alone.
.meanwhile at training; a premier teams chief scout(Mr
kruger) Is watching a training session." Who is that kid wearing
number seven,I think he is the missing link to our teams
success,forward me his important documents he should train with the
first team as of tomorrow"
"But Mr kruger that kid still needs proper development aren't we
getting ahead of ourselves here"? the coach objected." Mr kruger: "you need an eagles eye in
this business and this kid is too special,he'll be wasting his time
here..keeping him here would be an injustice to our countries
football...coach: ok you're the expert here so ill take your word for
it...Mr kruger: I appreciate your confidence in me,he said
sarcastically..
Coach: "joseph,come on come on,training ends early for you today lad". joseph:" but why coach im just getting warmed up to score goals.
