" Good day everyone, I would be the commentator for this friendly match between Stardust FC and Giant FC. My name is Chad and with me I have Wilson ", "So tell us Wilson, how do you feel about today's match?."
"Thank you Chad. I think this match would serve as an eye opener to the other competitors. I expect a very exciting match, after all both teams are in the top ten in Astro Capital."
_______________________
In the Locker room for the Stardust's team. The boys could be seen seething with anger.
" Kelvin, why did you allow that numb skull to belittle us like that?", Ray suddenly asked. Even till this moment, he still couldn't understand why Kelvin had not defended them from those Harsh words. As someone from a successful family and a Playboy, Ray had pride. He wouldn't have endured even half of what Kelvin had endured.
On the other hand, John had seen through Kelvin's intention. As someone who always used his brain, how could he not understand what Kelvin was thinking. This way if they were defeated, there would be no hard feeling attached, at least to one side.
But if they do well to slay the Giants today, there would still not be any hard feelings, in fact the Giants would be forced to tuck their tails behind their legs and flee in embarrassment, especially all the big talks their captain had made.
John prefers the second result much more than the first, and he would give his all to see it happen. Before this match, John was not planning on doing more than it was necessary to win, but after the meeting, there was no other was but for the total annahilation of the Giants. If a ten nil was possible, they try to do just that.
"Calm down guys. If I had retorted, it would just lead to more insults. Instead let's try to show them we are not dusts but stars. Let's teach them and every other team out there that we are not bonuses in this tournament, and that we are in the top ten for a reason, and let's make those bird brains eat their words. Today we show everyone what we a bringing."
After Kelvin's short speech, the team felt pumped and motivated. They had to show their coach that they had not been training for nothing. They could not allow their school to be put to shame like this. Never, they would not allow this.
At that moment, Coach Ben made his way to the locker room, Assistant Coach Joy was nowhere to be found, she was probably still helping their esteemed guest.
"Okay boys, Match starts in 5 minutes. For this match I don't have anything to say, or any tactics to bring, all that I am here to do, is for us to collectively decide on the formation you boys think is best to use for this match. I want you to play this match being yourselves."
The team wasted no time, and quickly got down to business. Since they knew they did not have the height advantage, they decided to use numbers, by using the 3:4:3 formation. This way the midfielders would be able to support the attackers, and also fall back to support the defenders when push came to shove. It could be deduced that the Stardust's game today was heavily reliant on the midfielders, Whether they win or loose were entirely dependent on them.
It would seem as though the midfielders would complain about this but surprisingly they were cool with it, with Kelvin, John and Ray in the midfield, the area was the most secured.
Coach Ben watched all these from the corner impressed. He loved the way the boys thought rationally. He could see his team achieving great things in the future. Throughout the whole charade, Coach Ben did not contribute a word after all this was only a friendly match.
But looking at each and every one of the member of the team, it could be safe to say this was a 'Not so friendly match.'
When the team finally finished deciding on their line up, they filled out ready to be called, beside their single file, The Giants could also be seen in a single file, their faces expressing their nonchalance.
On the other hand Stardust team members had a blank face but a very dangerous glints in their eyes. It was now time for business, time to slay Giants.
================°
Meanwhile,
" Everyone with barely 3 minutes before the kick off let's welcome the away team, Giants Fc, a round of applause ".
The Giants made their way to the field amidst the cheers, with their captain in the lead, Charisma oozing from his body. The way he and his whole team carried themselves showed slight arrogance. As though they had already won already.
When they had made third way to the center of the field and arranged themselves facing the crowd, the commentator continued.
" Ladies and gentlemen, Join me in welcoming the home team, Stardust FC. "
This time, it was as though the field was set ablaze, after all this was the Stardust's home group. They had the Fans support on their side, which helped in increasing their Zeal to win. Their whole city was watching, they could not afford to losers.
Kelvin led his team to the center of the field. their countenance like warriors going to war.
