Ale Piola drags Paulo by his arm and takes him to the side line of the pitch, he took him to the side line push him in a very aggressive manner. There was a clear disappointment on his face, he really want to yell out loud on him but somehow he takes control of himself and gulp all of his anger but he asked Paulo in very ferocious tone.
"What were you doing huh ? What were you thinking ? Is this the way are you going play ?"
Paulo was really ashamed on his deeds, he didn't muttered a single word out from his mouth all he can do was just put his gaze down and look the grass as a sign that he is sorry about what he did but this won't settle down so easily for him. Ale Piola pulls his chin up and said.
"Don't you dare to shun away from my questions Paulo ! look right into my eyes and answer me you damn it, What THE HELL YOU WERE DOING ?" Paulo somehow built some courage and dared to answer.
"I was..." His voice trailed off.
"I was WHAT ?" Ale asked.
"I was just trying my best to retrieve the ball from them but every time I go for the ball they just pass the ball away from me..." Paulo explains his side but he was interrupted in between by Ale Piola.
"Oh ! Ok so they were just doing what exactly is done in rondos, you decided that you will kick them out ?" Ale Piola taunting Paulo but Paulo tries to defend himself from that unnecessary allegations.
"No... No... Senior Ale No... that's not what you are thinking I was getting a bit frustrated and the time was ticking away and I have to complete the challenge that you had given to me that's why I was in a rush to retrieve the ball and unfortunately this happened....
I am very sorry for what just happened." After hearing his side Ale realised the fact that Paulo is regretting upon his action but at the same time he has to be strict and tell him that what he was he was doing was nothing less than a act of complete foolishness. He took a deep sigh and say
"Paulo if you had even succeeded in your challenge you know what I would never ever ! give you the start in today's match. Honestly I won't even think to play you the match for even single minute. Hearing those words from Ale made Paulo feel even worse but Ale was doing exactly what he has to do and Paulo have to take that bitter reality. There was nothing in the favour of Paulo so that he could defend his actions.
"Paulo is that the way are you gonna retrieve the ball in the match huh ? You will just simply rip everyone's head apart if you played like that. The would not just sent you off but also sue on the club that who the hell we brought into." Ale Piola yelling at Paulo but he doing this for his good only, Paulo also starting to realising that why Ale Piola is saying this to him.
"Paulo listen I don't mean to say that you are worst player, no..... In fact you are a great player, not just great you are terrific but your calmness and composure off the ball is far worse than a amateur football player who plays in a lower division, nobody does that." After all those banter Ale finally now having a cool head and he wants to explain to Paulo that why he failed miserably in his challenge.
"Paulo you know why you actually failed because you were just in a rush to complete the challenge you, you just want the start that's what you were caring for and because of that every single time you are being humbled by everyone who were in the rondos. You never saw how calm and focus everyone were did you ? And on the other hand it was you who was just running around behind the ball don't take it personal but you were looking exactly like that crazy bull in the game of 'corrida de toros' which is usually played in spain. You were embarrassing yourself there."
Paulo's heart was already full enough of sadness, it was clear from his facial expressions that he is hurt by those words and already regretting upon his actions and Ale Piola was aware of that but still he has to tell Paulo that he cannot start in today's match but at the same time he doesn't want to make him feel even worse. Ale Piola with a heavy heart decided to tell him.
"I am sorry Paulo but since you failed in your challenge and according to that challenge, you are not going to get a start in today's match and if you won't improve yourself then I would not even allow you to play for a single minute." The decision made Paulo feel even more regretful upon his action, it was like an sharp needle is pricking in his heart but now he can't do anthing but to agree on the decision made by his coach.
"Now go... go do some drills, shooting practice just go." Ale Piola ask him to go for now and Paulo without saying a word agrees to his command and goes away from there while Ale is in his thoughts, he is now having a concern whether it's a right decision to play Paulo in such an important match or to drop him.
