"Dude, didn't Fenerbahce really choose you for the team?"
It was Helder's friend from the school team, Hakan, who said this.
"Now is not the time to think about it, we are about to hit the field and the match will begin soon. Focus on the match. "
With years of experience, Helder wanted to prevent his friend's concentration from deteriorating.
The coach gathered the team.
"Who are we?"
The whole team shouted.
"Losers!"
The coach said again.
"Who are we?"
"Losers!"
The coach and the team were repeating this 3 times before each match.
"Then one more time," said the coach.
"Who are we?"
"Losers!"
Coach took a deep breath and shouted.
"So what are we going to do today?"
They shouted like crazy to the whole team.
"We will win!"
The coach and team are one soul.
Therefore, they should not have lost their souls.
The coach has been working on this match for days. He had analyzed the opponent well.
The opposing team was generally waiting in defense and with the balls it grabbed, they were counterattacking very quickly.
There was a way to stop that too.
Leaving the ball to the opponent.
If you drop the ball to the opponent and make him pass, they would be in an unfamiliar pattern.
Of course, this thought was a gamble.
They would see what they would win or lose at gambling when the match was over.
"Helder, it's your turn to speak." said the coach.
The captain of the team was Helder.
The whole team became a circle and Helder started talking.
"First of all, calm down."
But there was someone who was not calm and trembled like crazy.
He was the team's striker Burak.
"I don't think Burak can score a goal." Helder said.
Burak suddenly looked at Helder.
"You know I've scored goals in every match so far, captain?"
"I know but you won't be able to score today. Do you have a bet? "
If Burak made a bet, he would do everything he could to win.
"All right, what's the claim on?
"If you score goals today, Hakan will treat you to a Coke at school. But if you don't score goals, you'll treat us all with coke. Deal?
"Yes, deal."
Burak was overly ambitious.
Hakan whispered into Helder's ear.
"Again, you brought Burak to the gas by using me."
Helder smiled.
"You know, when this boy gets on gas, nobody can stop him."
"You really know your job, captain. You are afraid. " Hakan said.
"Has everyone calmed down now?"
"Yes, captain!"
"Does everyone remember our tactics?"
"Yes, captain!"
"Then let's finish their job."
"Yes, captain!"
When it comes to motivation, Helder was indeed a genius.
He had had tough matches many times in his previous life.
Fate was slowly weaving its nets ...
The team of 8 people went to the field.
U-12 matches were played 8 to 8, and each team had 4 substitutes.
In other words, there could be a maximum of 12 players in a team.
Each team had 3 substitutions.
Also, the fields were divided in half and the matches was playing this way.
Everything was ready now.
And the referee blew the whistle of the match ...
