Ale Piola has recently finished with the tactics and perfectly explained to his players about their respective role and duty on the pitch during the match but he didn't even mentioned about Paulo and his role in his tactics, this made him more confused as he was questioned whether he will play in the match today or not. Suddenly Ale Piola takes Paulo's name to get his attention and said.
"Paulo ! as you are our only substitute in today's match I will explain it to you about what you have to do while I about to substitute you in match for Lorenzo, Ok ?" Paulo nodded his head and said yes, Piola then give his players a piece of advice before the match.
"Guys ! this match is a must win for us because it's a decider, if we win then we will stay in the Italian top flight but if we lose then we will go down to second and break our 130 years old record of not getting relegated which I know that you all don't want it. So guys ! let's go out there and WIN THIS MATCH!!! YOU ARE GOING WIN THIS MATCH ?" Ale Piola asked his players and while answered him with a scream.
"YES COACH !"
"Great I like this atitude now pick yourselves up and out to the pitch and do some warm up." Ale Piola compliments them and then instructs them do warm up on the pitch before the match. Everyone head their way out of the dressing room for ground and when Paulo was about to leave he is suddenly called by his coach Ale Piola and he said.
"You are going to warm up like that ?" Paulo didn't quite understand what he mean to say and he asked.
"What are you talking about coach ? I can not understand, can you make it clear ?" Ale Piola with a little smug smile on his face, he pointed at his feet through his eyes and said.
"Are you going to play with that boots ?" Paulo looked at his feets and came to know that he is not wearing football shoes instead he was wearing just a normal boots, Paulo didn't have football shoes with him at that moment, since he left his home with haste and left his football shoes there in his room. He didn't utter a single word from his mouth as he was feeling ashamed to tell him that he has no football shoes but Ale Piola realised through silence and then moved towards his locker and pulled out a pair of football shoes which was his and then said.
"Your silence speaks everything, I understand here you go take it these are my football shoes, today you are going wear these." Ale Piola hands his shoes to him, at first Paulo was feeling little bit hesitant as didn't want to look pity in front of someone but Ale Piola somehow convinces him to wear his football shoes.
"Don't you think that I am giving you my shoes for the sake that you are someone special after the match you will buy your own football shoes and keep it did yourself in regular basis is that clear ?" Paulo just simply nodded his head and said yes then he take those and makes his way to the ground but before making his way to the ground he turned back for a moment and thanked Ale Piola for giving his boots to him and Ale Piola also smiled back at him and then told him to go.
Ale then suddenly had something in his mind and he called Paulo before he was about leave and asked him.
"Do you want to start rather than being a substitute in today's match ?" Paulo was bit confused and unknowingly said yes after getting his answer Ale puts his arm around his shoulders and asked to come with him.
--------
Ale Piola and Paulo arrive at the ground the stands of the stadium were merely filled with peoples ad the match is about to start within an half and hour. Meanwhile Fabio with his other teammates was doing the rondos session, the moment when Ale Piola saw them doing the rondos session he came with an idea and then he asked to Paulo.
"Paulo are you looking there ?" Ale Piola asked him and points his finger towards the direction where Fabio is doing his Rondos session.
"Yes coach ! that is called the rondos." Paulo answered him.
"CORRECT ! ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. So your ticket for getting a start in today's match is there." Ale said.
"Here ! in this rondos session how ?" Paulo asked him because this made very confused and he couldn't figure it out what does his coach means to say.
"Ok ! so the challenge is very simple, you are going to stand in that middle of the park and there will ten minutes given to you, in that ten minutes you have to make at least six successful interceptions. If did so then you will get start in today's match but if you don't then I am sorry you are going to be a substitute as what he have decided." Ale Piola explained his challenge very well to Paulo but doesn't seem to be much excited about this challenge as this was making the situation for him even more but Paulo stays professional and said.
"Ok coach ! I accept your challenge." Paulo tells him that he accepts his challenge.
"Ok, I like your attitude, so are you ready for it ?" Ale Piola asks Paulo whether he is ready for the challenge or not.
"Yes I am ready for it." Paulo answered.
"So let's get started !" Ale Piola said and after hearing yes from him he wastes no time, he then calls Fabio and then asks him.
"Fabio well will you take your friend for the rondos session ?"
"Yes coach, come Paulo." Fabio answered and takes Paulo to his teammates for rondos session.
"And Yeah Fabio ! Paulo will be standing standing in the middle of the circle, he will do the interception part OK." Ale Piola exclaimed.
"But it's his first coach." Fabio questions on his demand of making Paulo stand inside the circle but Ale is firm on his decision and later Fabio also agrees to his coach does exactly what he said.
"Are you ready ? It's not going to be easy Paulo." Fabio warns him that's its not going to be but Paulo does not care about it as he is determined and is looking to complete the challenge that Ale Piola given to him.
