25'
We tried as much as we could to get back into the game, we were determined to get the three points

32'
Son plays the ball through the middle and Dele picks it up, he goes to shoot but the defender gets in the way of the shot and it rebounds out for a corner

45'
It was half time and we walked back into the dressing room.
"Lads, you're doing good today but remember to calm down and don't take anything to quickly, ok?" Poch said
"Ok."
"(Y/n) brilliant goal, Son your passes have been spectacular, Dele keep playing those long balls. Paulo, when you get the ball hold onto it for a second so that the Southampton players are drawn forward."
"Yes sir."
"Great, now have a break and get ready for the second half."
I sat down in my seat and had some of my water, I then scrolled through my phone to check my latest notifications

We're shooting an advert for the new Coca Cola energy drink in a week, and you're going to be taking part in it, I'll fill you in with the details later.

"What you doing?" Son asked
"Just looking through my messages."
"Come on (Y/n), get your head in the game, didn't you say something about how you're supposed to win for dinner or something earlier?"
"Oh yeah right, you're right I need to focus!"
"Thought so, remember not to focus to hard otherwise you'll get a headache."
"Yeah yeah, sure. Mum."
"This again, seriously (Y/n), I'm not that old!"

46'
We are back underway after half time and we're approaching this half with more precision than the first half.

52'
Ndombele lobs the ball over the Southampton defenders and goes in my direction, I then collect the ball and travel down the right wing, I spot Son making the run into the box and I cross the ball to him. He connects his head with the ball sending it into the net.
Son immediately goes to celebrate

67'
Dele plays the ball through to Son who is dribbling down the left wing, Son crosses the ball into the box to try to get it to Ndombele.
The ball misses him however and goes past him, I then get to the back post when the ball is going and I get ready to shoot.
I go to shoot on the half-volley with my left foot but before I shot, the defender collided into me, knocking me to the ground.

"Ref!" I heard Son call out
I heard the whistle go but I couldn't see properly and was light-headed from the collision.
"(Y-........are.........al...ight......(Y/n)?!" Dele ran over
I couldn't hear him, I felt like I was gonna feint any second.
"Don't.........ry...........phys........on......way." I could barely make out what he was saying but I managed to figure it out
He said that I shouldn't worry and the physios were on their way.

When the physios arrived, they lifted up my head and shone a torch (flashlight) in my eyes to see how responsive my eyes were. They then took me off of the pitch for a minute
"Listen, (Y/n), do you think you can continue?" The physio asked
Without hesitation or thinking, I nodded.
"Ok listen, you're still in shock so wait a minute before we send you back on."

I went back onto the pitch and it turns out the referee had given us the penalty, Son looked to me and walked away from the ball, letting me take the pen.
I took a deep breath before taking the pen, trying to clear my head and become as calm as possible, my mind was now blank and I was ready to take it.
The whistle went.....
Step......
Step......
Step.........
Aim........
Shoot.................















Beep.........Beep..........Beep
I leaned up and blinked a few times
"Where am I?" I asked myself
"(Y/n)! You're awake!" I knew that voice, it was Son
"Huh? Son? Where am I?" I asked
"You're in the hospital."
I looked around the room and it looked like it was just Son with me
"Where's everyone else, still playing the match?" I asked
After the mention of the match Son rubbed the back of his neck nervously
"Everyone is outside, only one visitor was allowed in at this time." He explained
"Why am I here? What happened?"
"(Y/n) calm down, take it slowly." Son said
"Why am I here?" I asked again
"In the Southampton game, your collision caused you to get a concussion."
"Weren't we just playing Southampton? I swear I was just about to take the penalty."
"(Y/n)........" Son said slowly
"What?" I asked confused
"The Southampton game.....














.....was last week, you've been in a coma since collapsing while taking the penalty."

A/n: What?! A week!? Well damn, I hope you've liked this chapter. Don't forget to check out Love and Football by kpoper_writer17 they've been working super hard on it so don't hesitate to show some love.
I wanted to write a short chapter since it's the weekend and studying has given my some headaches. But I guess studying's ok when you get full marks on a finance paper.
Anyway enough talking, thanks for reading!
