The Next Ronaldo Part2

So today is my first day at my new football club... My dad dropped me off and said he will come back to pick me up after training.

This club may not be the best in the area but it doesn't have to be... Most of the famous players started from small clubs too and step by step they made it to the big clubs by their own hands (or feet).

I changed my clothes and wore the club's training jersey and stood in line for the Medical Examination, then I felt a tap on my shoulder so I turned around and faced the boy standing behind me, he looked at me and said: " how old are you?"

" I'm 13 years old, what about you?"

"I'm 14, my name is Zain," He said as he extended his hand to me, I shook his hand and said
" I'm Adam, nice to meet you"

" What is your position, Adam?"
"I'm a forward, a left-winger" I replied.

Zain grind and said " that's cool, I'm a defender, but I haven't picked a specific position in defense yet"

Then the club doctor called me because it was my turn.

After the medical examination, we went to the field so the coach could rate our skills.

The coach divided us into 2 teams and said " alright boys I don't know any of you so how about you try to impress me, maybe one of you is going to be my next star!"

In the first half I didn't even get close to the other team's goal, and the score was still( 0_0) and in the first 5 minutes of the second half the other team scored against us, so I got mad and told my teammates to try some high balls and to pass me the ball more.

We managed to score by a corner and a header by a defender whose name is David, he was very tall for his age and controlled most of the headers easily... In the last 5 minutes of the game Zain who I met earlier dribbled through 2 players and then he passed me the ball, I had only one defender ahead of me so I went for it, I managed to get rid of the defender then as strong as I can, I kicked it toward the goal, the goalkeeper almost caught it but luckily for me he didn't.

The ball went in and we were (2_1) ahead of the other team.

They tried to tie it up again but failed, and at last, the referee blew his whistle and we won.

After the match ended the coach told us to gather up and stand in order before him.

" Alright boys that were a good game, I see some of you have impressive skills, I'm looking forward to our first training tomorrow...
We are done today, you can go home now"

I changed my clothes and called my dad to come and pick me up.
He arrived 30 minutes later, I got in the car, then he asked " so how was your training?"

"It was  good dad, I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't training it was a friendly game so the coach would see our skills"

"that's good, and how did you do? did you score?"

"yes dad I've scored, I hope I get to be in the starting lineup soon, there is also a very good new player like me, and I'm sure the other older players are good too, I think I'm going to have a strong competition in order to become a starter"

My dad stopped at a red sign then he turned his head toward me and said " I'm sure you can do it when you believe in yourself everyone else will too "
