André opened his eyes, he was no longer at home
André was on a giant soccer field, at least 10 times bigger than a normal soccer field.
the grass was real and soft, the air was pure and abundant and for some reason all this made André happy
"Finally smiled, it took 10 seconds"
A voice suddenly rang in André's ears, he looked back and saw an elderly man wearing the Brazilian national team uniform.
"Excuse me but who are you" André
"I'm the biggest celestial fan of this deadly sport, you can call me a big Zeus"
"Zeus? like the Greek god?" André
"So you know me, great is easier but don't call me god, all pantheons lost to their god and were demoted from gods to demigods, now i'll be your trainer so call me great Zeus or trainer Zeus" Zeus
"relegated? are you now a soccer fan?" André
"Yes, being on Olympus is very boring, so I once decided to go out to get some married women pregnant, but I ended up being attracted to the sport of mortals, honestly the 1970 world cup was what made me love the Brazilian team, I can say that I'm the biggest celestial fan in Brazil" Zeus
André didn't answer, he just looked at the old man with the Brazilian shirt and thought it was a dream, is it a dream or he was drugged
"Damn boy I can read your thoughts you're not high someone like you will never do drugs or have a lot of sex and be popular honestly I don't know how you got such a pretty girl" Zeus
"What the fuck, even in my dreams I feel offended" André
"No more wasting time, now you will train, fast 10 laps on this giant field of Olympus" Zeus
André didn't move
"this dream is the result of my choice, I give up football and I must be dreaming because of it" André
"What the hell are you talking about, quitting football? your talent is rare and I'm breaking the rules coming in to help you, and you still have this terrible, depressed voice" Zeus
Zeus then raised his hand and created a 5 meter television in the air.
"See, this is your future if you give up football"
On television, André saw himself in third person, on television he gave up football to work in a restaurant.
Years and years working and he kept earning a small salary, without completing his studies André is destined for the weak and low income
His son spent his whole childhood in the poor house and he couldn't even buy toys for his little boy
But the worst was that his beloved wife developed a disease and the medicines alone cost 10 years of salary, impossible to pay, André saw his wife die in a public and dirty hospital
"shit shit stop hang up" André cried
All that was real to him, every struggle and pain he felt, his life was humble and insignificant
"See, only with football you will be able to give your family a good life, don't be stupid to give up, now get your white ass up and run" Zeus
Andrew looked at Zeus, then got up and started to run
The field was 10 times bigger than a normal field, after just 2 laps it was almost falling
André felt the tiredness and sweat in his body, that was definitely not a damn dream
"Finally realized idiot, from now on your mind and this field of Olympus are connected, whenever you sleep you will come here" Zeus
"Zeus.....Coach Zeus, how can I handle training during the day and during sleep? without resting and sleeping I won't even be able to get up" André
"the field of olympus was created by me, here you can take the results and efforts of your training to your "real" world, the air here is divine air, it will strengthen your body and you will always leave here 100%, never tired" Zeus
André started breathing heavily, he felt his body better and I keep running
after a while he finally finished the 10 laps
"warm up is over, now it's time for the real workout" Zeus, he snapped his fingers
suddenly 21 wooden golems appeared, all had a "human" body, 11 wore red uniform and 10 blue uniform
"Wear this, and go play, don't let your guard down, all the defenders of the red team were made with the Maldini player model, the midfielders and attackers don't have any player "model", but they are still strong" Zeus
André put on the blue outfit and started playing, just like Zeus said, the defensive midfield of the red team was only at the sub20 level
André received a pass from the red golem, dominated the ball and advanced, crossed the defensive midfield and prepared for a long shot
However, suddenly, a defender from the red team suddenly appeared in front of him and easily disarmed him.
the game continued, with each move André was disarmed by the defender "maldini"
André couldn't do anything, the damn defender predicted all his moves, he looked like a 5 year old child facing a professional adult
This humiliation continued for hours
