Paulo scored his first goal for his beloved club Parma C.F. and the scoreline was now 2-2. The moment when Paulo scored the second goal the fans in the stadium stood on their feet and cheered with sheer joy, the fans completely went wild and started celebrating like crazy. The moment when Paulo scored he didn't know how to react, for a few moments there was mixed feelings inside him. There was happiness but at the same time tears in his eyes as well, he was happy but also emotional.
Fabio was the first one who came running towards Paulo full of joy and happiness, he wrapped his hands around his shoulders and leaned over him and one by one every teammate came to him and congratulated him for scoring his first goal for the team on his debut.
"Paulo Romani! The young kid coming from the Academy of Parma C.F. scored the equaliser for his team on his debut. What a perfect start! this young kid is having it right now."
"I knew it, Gabrielle! I KNEW IT! This kid is something special since he came on the pitch the morale of the team has changed, they are not playing like clueless people in the first half, now they are more direct and scoring and it is only because of this young lad Paulo Romani!"
Ale Piola also couldn't-hold back his joy and started celebrating with the fans by going in front of the stand where the section of Parma C.F. fans was there. In the VIP box, Luis Salvatore was celebrating standing on his feet. Luis Salvatore then asked Marco with excitement.
"Hey, Marco! Didn't I tell you that this boy is talented? Just look at him, he scored a goal and provided an assist in his very first match."
Marco replied.
"Well, that's an impressive start, by the way, did you register this guy into the first team?"
Luis Salvatore answered.
"No! Not right now, the guy still has to sign the professional contract, we told the league representatives that he is our academy player."
Marco shocked by the answer said.
"WHAT! But your assistant told me he is the random guy you picked up from the streets?"
Luis Salvatore responded.
"Yeah! He is right but I showed the league representatives in the documents that he is our academy player so that the league representatives do not find anything suspicious."
Marco in disbelief said.
"Well, to be honest! That sounds very dodgy."
To which Luis Salvatore replied.
"Yeah I know it sounds dodgy but it's not the right time to have this conversation right now, we are back in this game. C'MON BOYS! C'MON LET'S WIN THIS MATCH, C'MON."
Luis Salvatore was cheering while Marco sitting there in disbelief.
Bologna F.C. resumed the play by kick-off, now Bologna F.C. were having possession, Bologna F.C. manager started to get anxious and due to anxiousness he was constantly shouting at his players from the sidelines instructing them to defend well and don't lose the ball. Bologna F.C. were passing the ball and one Bologna F.C. defender was having the ball at his feet he was looking for a pass but before he could decide whom to pass the ball to, he got instantly pressed by Paulo. Paulo tried to take the ball away from him and his attempt was successful, he got the ball at his feet and beat his defender with a two-touch skill. Paulo was in the right-hand side half space, driving the ball forward alongside the defender chasing him.
Paulo looked up and saw that the goalkeeper of Bologna F.C. was standing way too ahead of his goal. Paulo took a shot outside of the goal area and the ball was about to land inside the goal but the keeper made last minute save jumping backwards stretching his arm in the air and luckily pushing away the ball with his fingers. The ball went out for the corner, everyone in the stadium held their heads with disappointment, everyone thought that this would be a goal because the shot taken by Paulo was so perfect that it was going inside the goal but unfortunately, the goalkeeper made a heroic save to stop it from going inside the goal but it was obvious that with time Paulo is getting confident in the game.
"Woh! That could have been the third goal for Parma C.F. and the second goal for Paulo but Goncalo made sure that the scoreline remains 2-2."
"That was a wonderful save by Goncalo but there is a lot of pressure on him now, Parma C.F. is more threatening now, they are getting into the goal area more often and are taking more shots. In the second half, Parma has seven shots on target while Bologna only has one shot which was off target."
"And you know Aldo, it is all because of whom?
"Yeah! The Young Sensation Paulo Romaaani!"
Emilio goes on to the left-hand side corner to take a corner kick. He placed the ball in the corner arc and kicked the ball into the goal area. Though Broza the Bologna F.C. player cleared the ball away with his head and the ball fell for Leonardo who this time came so deep to his goal instead of staying forward. He received the ball and started to run with it towards the Parma C.F. goal. Cilo Eincho tried to make a tackle but Leonardo got away with his tackle and now he was running forward. Angelo who was in the Bologna F.C. goal area during the corner kick ran back with his heart out, he ran so fast that he left several players behind.
Leonardo was running forward with the ball but he has no idea about Angelo coming behind. Leonardo thought that he was now all alone against Vincenzo but Angelo made a brilliant sliding tackle from behind. He took the ball away from Leonardo but also made him fall to the ground. Leonardo was lying on the ground and was constantly telling the referee that it was a foul made by Angelo on him but the referee replied to him that the tackle made by Angelo on him was fair and square there is no foul made by him and also told Leonardo to get up and stop wasting time.
The play continued, Angelo was having the ball he passed it to Macella, Macella received the ball and started running forward on the left wing. He tcucuttointo into rig the ht side and passed the ball to Emilio. Emilio had the ball at his feet while Paulo came in the right-hand side half space to create a passing option for Emilio. Emilio saw Paulo and without wasting any time he passed the ball to him, Paulo received the ball and after he received the ball he started running towards the goal. Many Bologna F.C. players tried to stop him but Paulo dribbled past them and got away from the defenders. Paulo was near to the goal area of the Bologna F.C. and everyone was getting excited when he had the ball. Vito the Bologna F.C. midfielder thought that Paulo is on his way to scoring the goal, Vito took a brave step, ran towards Paulo and made a dangerous sliding tackle on Paulo which fouled him and made Paulo fall hard on the ground.
Fabio along with his other Parma C.F. players were telling the referee that was a dangerous foul made by Vito on Paulo. The referee knew it was a foul, he blew his whistle and goes on to show a yellow card to Vito. Fabio clapped at the referee for giving a yellow card to Vito while the Bologna F.C. players gathered around the referee argued and were telling that it was not a foul but the referee did not listen to any of them and awarded Parma C.F. a free kick just out goal area of the Bologna F.C.
Paulo was lying on the ground, Fabio came to him and gives him a hand. Paulo held his hand and Fabio helped him to get up then Cilo Eincho with the ball in his hand came to Paulo and said.
"Here you go, Paulo! Take it and show everybody what you are capable of!"
