"I'm... I'm... Not..." Started the man, the boy moved his hands down to...
On monday the remaining tryouts got to know that from that moment on they'd be doing regular basic drills together during the morning, and during afternoon they'd start their specific position drills.
The boys were excited and the boys were scared, that was a critical moment where lots of tryouts gave up, signed with different teams or realized they wouldn't make the cut.
Four positions, five spots, 29 tryouts. They'd be training on sand, on water, in the middle of the night, with the blazing sun over their heads and with the freezing wind on their faces. Each position had a set of drills that the boys were expected to master.
The goalkeepers only way of mastering their drills was to block their goal, completely. Unity's current starting Goalkeeper, Fredy was one of the two tryouts to ever master it.

Fullbacks had to keep the rivals away to master their drills, make sure the ball would go back to midfield or the rival's half. They had to work on passing, dribbling, tacking and stealing. Only two tryouts got that before.
Midfielders had the hardest drills, the boys needed to run, push, pass, block, score and keep the ball rolling towards the rivals goal. No tryout had ever mastered the drill ever. As they had a time to complete every task, Lucas was the one closest to mastering it, his time was the one to beat and very close to the team's expectations, whoever got a better time would consequently master it.

The attacker's drill was about scoring and creating situations to score. The boys had to be fast, they had to have ability and what made their drill hard was that they needed to be precise, and consistent. Sir Elenon mastered his drills at the age of 15, Teddy Vizanno at the age of 18. They were the only ones to deliver what their coaches asked for during training with perfection. They were the best of the country, with similar ways of playing. They just didn't play well with each other.
