"Okay lads, so the Soccer League starts in four months- January. The schools have been finalised and thankfully, we have been allowed to play." Coach starts and everyone hoots, including me of course.
Coach gives me a signature smile and nods his head in recognition. Yeah, I knew. Without me, this team wasn't going to play in the same league they've been in for the first time in the last 7, consecutive years.
"However, there has been a slight change in the league's point system. Every match you lose, 1 point is deducted. Every match you draw, 1 point is added and for every match you win, 3 points are added. Oh, and after the round of 12, you cannot have below 15 points. That causes immediate disqualification." Coach explained.
"Isn't that a bit like the World Cup?" I mused, a smug smile on my face. Coach Evans gave me a playful glare and then shrugged.
"Probably. But it is what it is. Anyways, I'm going to leave you guys in this room, for five minutes." After a variety of hand gestures, he just walked out. I feel like this is a usual thing for the team.
But something was off. Everyone went dead silent and I looked around, being the first one to break the silence. "Okay, so why's everyone so quiet? Shouldn't we be like, I don't know, leaping for joy?."
I got dry looks thrown at my ace in return and my eyebrows went up. Damn.
"Mate, have you seen the other teams? They have been working their butts off like we have. Hell, who knows if we'll survive knockouts. Forget about getting to the semi's!" An aggravated Nick frustratedly made known to me that we were in fact, in great jeopardy.
But to answer his questions, nope I have never seen any other teams in this league okay. But maybe I should have.
"Oh, and we barely made it out with 17 points last year." Joey added, sighing.
I take to it that they had a tough war last year.
"Well, if we were to work together, we could still best out the point system. I have never seen such great chemistry between a whole team. Chemistry is lacked in a lot of teams- they just focus on training." I explained to them.
They can't just feel down already! It's like telling Neymar he won't have a chance to score. If someone foretold that to him, or any other football striker or midfield or defender or even goalie, they would still try and give it their all.
You never know, maybe that person was wrong.
And maybe fate decided to twist their laws once in a while. Anything is possible. Even the word impossible says "I'm possible." Just without the apostrophe.
