Unique FC players were all in the locker room now with Norman standing over them with his arms crossed.
He had an uneasy look on his face as he kept tapping his right foot on the floor.
"You guys started the match on a good note then you just started slipping off in the last minutes. Was that penalty really all it took to demoralize you?"
His voice swept through the room in all its fierceness and none of the players dared say a word.
'And it's understandable, I guess.'
"Now listen up all of you, they're really strong, I know that, but we can't lose here. If it comes down to it then we're just going to grab an equalizer and back the bus, we'll be better off with a draw than a loss then we can think of something in the second leg.
That was the foundation of Norman's plan for the second half, score the equalizer and park the bus.
