《Football System》Tournaments (4)

Advertisement

The next tournament was the regional tournament, this time around I actually met the team before going into the field, what a nice gesture there Butch. We couldn't practice together because they were from far away, but at least they came here 1 day before the match and I could meet the players.

By the way, Butch actually listened to me and put me into a team with a decent name. It was the wolves, yeah I don't know either why is all this theme animal naming began but most of the teams were named after animals. A few of them after cities and the rest of them as mythological creatures.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind silly team names. But I have to think about my future, being one of the best future football players around I have to watch my games and tournaments. To only play those that are important and difficult. But hey! I'm just a kid, right? I don't have much of a choice right now. At least Butch knows what he is doing....right?

Going back to the topic, this tournament with The Wolves was fun. I had actual football players to play with! At least they did know the basic attack plans and defense plans. I was number 10 and played really synchronized with my teammates, number 11 and 7. They were Adam and Matt. I could pass the ball to either of them and they could actually score two times.

A couple of times they couldn't make the goal and instead we had to run back to defend. But I couldn't help them, I was being tailed by 3 others guys. I was pretty grumpy about this, I'm not used to be the star of the game, so I don't know how to deal with multiples guys following me around. I'm not like Messi that even if 5 or 6 guys mark him he could still score.

I couldn't help them and they scored two times before something happened. A white cowboy like accent guy stood up and told a kid off the field "Think about the cows boy!"

And so the number 5 of the opposite team, nodded and began to organize the kids of the defense team like literal cows. He would do gestures or spoke them to go a particular direction. A lot of parents were furious about this but seeing their kids laughing and having fun they could just keep their mouths shut.

Because after all, their kids started playing football for fun, and they are actually having it now, it would be pretty stupid to stop them now.

So it seems that the word was out and I was a high profile kid player now, they were content with a tie against our team. Penalties are never good, and worst for this average looking team that I have, and for a final of the tournament!

Shit shit shit... I DON'T LIKE THAT ONE BIT! IM FURIOUS!!

Calm your self-down!! CALM THE FUCK DOWN! I screamed in my mind while closing my eyes. And after that, I breathed in and out. After what it seems ages I calmed myself. It appears that my kid instincts still kick in when I have a strong feeling or mental state.

...

I evaluated the field, the other team is currently defending and our team didn't have any good strikers besides me, the numbers 11(Adam) and 7(Matt) could help me but they were mostly good at running since Adam was small and thin and Matt had a lot of explosive running power. I decide to utilize that.

With the plan on my mind, I asked the ball from another player of my team that was currently trying to pass the cows wall. He gladly handed to me, the all-star of the team with stary eyes. Shit dude, if you were not a kid I would suspect that you are gay unless you say no homo.

I made a sign and called Matt, Adam and the number 8. He was confused but still came. I said to him first "You only have to go between the first layer of defense and the second and stay there, we will pass you the ball sometime and after that, you need to pass the ball either to Matt or Adam, the one that is closer, you get it?!" He scaredly nodded and went sprinting towards the position.

I hit my forehead, I didn't tell him to go NOW...Jesus, I sometimes forget that I'm leading with kids.

I then said to Matt and Adam "Now you guys...this is what we are going to do...."

...

They nodded and took their positions.

I stood on the right side of the field and tried to attract the attention of the defenders calling them names but the number 5 would then would say "Stay put cow!!" and the kids will giggle and obey.

Motherfucker.

So I had no choice to use the original plan. I made a long pass to Matt who caught pretty well after one bounce and went to the middle of the field, he sloppily attempted to pass one of the fattest kids, but he lost the ball. The fat kid was astounded that he stole a ball and ignored the order to pass the ball and began sprinting towards the ball.

What kid didn't want to impress their parents with a goal? Not me, for sure. But some of these kids were desperate enough for that opportunity.

I made use of that, since not only the fat kid began to sprint towards the goal post. He was together with the entire section of the middle of the field.

The number 5 was furious but no-one was paying attention to him anymore, all the eyes were on the fat kid. Excellent.

Phase 2, Adam who was on the left side of the field used his explosive power to steal the ball off the fat kid and made a long pass towards the number 8. A kid average enough that nobody paid attention who was static as a statue.

When the ball arrived, the number 8 began to look frantically around until he found Matt near him and made a sloppy pass. Matt managed to catch that with a little stop. He stood and made a hat kick that met with a snicker of the goalkeeper. He held in the place where the ball would land with a huge smile in his face when he froze in place.

A shadow appeared and heard the dreadful sound of the ball hitting the net.

He looked around to found the ball on the right of him and an exhausted-looking kid with a smile on his face with a fist on the air with a whistle sound on the background.

Matt POV's

This is finally our year!! After so many defeats we could finally be able to defeat those cows!!

Why? All because of David! He is the hearth of the team! Any situation we face he can clear with ease! There is nothing he can do!

He's like my dad! He can do anything! He is perfect! I trust him!

Plus he always looks so cool with his celebration of goals!

He praised for my speed! Of course! I'm like Flash!

I told him that and laughed while patting my head as my uncles do...He's weird.

Anyway! Now he finally reached the final!!

...

Things don't look so good...

David looks angry and he has 4 or 5 kids following him around...

Adam and I can't do much against their team.

...

Is all my fault, I need to be faster to help him but how?

Maybe if I pee I would lose weight?

Oh, wait he's calling me! I'm going!

...

Oh boy, what a nice plan! He knows everything!

...

How can a kid jump so high? That was a Chilean strike? It looked SO COOOOLLLL!! I WANT TO TRY THAT!

But first I need to check Adam!!

.....

Back at the game, Adam was lifted by their teammates. Especially Adam, Matt and the number 8, whose name was Erick. Nice to meet you, Erick, yeah yeah I know, I don't care so much about my teammates. I hear that from Butch near every training, but would you care to learn the name of a kid that you played on a park one time while on vacations? Well, I had the same concepts with these tournaments.

Anyway, I was lifted in the air while the adrenaline was on full speed I laughed really loud. I really enjoyed being lifted like this. Is my first time I think. Who would guess?

After they put me on the ground I received the congratulations of the official coach and my coach only made a thumbs up. My mother lifted a sign that said 2 with a small smile at the bottom. Well, that was the nicest of her since...ever.

I waved at her and she rolled her eyes and continue to chat with the parents next to her.

I stood for the victory photo in the middle of the team with the trophy on the ground. Thank god they didn't bring wolves this time!

After the classic photo and exchanging information with Adam, Matt, and Erick.

I heard the sound of the notification.
