When Messi left the field, BTS grabbed him, "What are you doing? Have you forgotten about football?” Messi remained silent. He sat down in the field and started drinking a little water from a glass. BTS snapped back, "What, commander! are you drowning? Look at how their girls are mocking us! The boys at Dawki Public will sit next to the girls and now will win football, won't they? Commander fight back! Let's perform a surgical strike!"
Messi lowered his head and said, “I'm trying. But I don't know what's happening with me today!"
It's all a mess. Seeing Messi's face, BTS knew was wrong with him.
In fact, BTS knows that Messi has nothing to say. However, he finally tried, "Commander... fighting!." BTS saw that Messi said something to the coach before going down to the field but the coach shook his head again and left. Messi Get down on the field feeling a little tired. BTS thought, well, Messi doesn't want to play today!
The second half started a little differently. Latai's shot hits the bar, Ron misses. After twelve minutes another attack started from the right. Ron holds the ball to two people cut through the defense and passes the pass to Messi. This time the opportunity is easier. The ball bounced towards Messi. But before he could shoot, the ball hit his shin and went out of bounds. BTS plucked a handful of grass off the field in excitement. What is this bro? Why is Messi playing football like a Ghost? The players of Shillong High School probably became a little nervous about wasting so many opportunities. Rather, after twenty-five minutes, Dawki Public held Shillong High quite tight. Meanwhile, Messi can't catch the ball.
Kabir started abusing Messi from the goal. Kabir is already short-tempered, he is on fire after seeing Messi' s example. Even Ron from the half-line and Latai from the right striker position started screaming. The audience also grew impatient. Someone spat loudly "son of a bitch!". Everyone forgot that it was Messi for whom Shillong High had won in the previous matches. Of course, that's the nature of the crowd. Nobody remembers the performance of the last match. BTS realized that there was no other way, the match would be a draw. Dawki Public picked up a ball from the right, overlapped crease and crossed the ball from the corner flag. The ball was high in the penalty box. Shillong High was defending under the pressure of Dawki Public. Messi approached also. Everyone jumped together to head the ball. Kabir left the goal and came out to catch the ball. He is getting the ball easily. But what just happened! Kabir collided with the jumping Messi. Both fell to the ground. BTS looked like he was watching a nightmare as the ball dropped and went to the feet of Akash who was standing in the gap in front of the goal.
BTS's eyes widened when the screams came from the other side of the field..."G..O..A..L"
The screaming continued for a long time. It escalated after the referee blew the final whistle. After many days, Shillong High School lost the Challenge Cup match by 0-1.
The players are sitting scattered around the edge of the field with their heads down. Kabir threw the glove in a corner. Tears in his eyes. Suddenly Kabir jumped up, “Messi! You asswhole! for you, only for you I lost today. why did you push me? ." As Kabir said and grabbed his collar. Now he shook Messi and laid him on the ground and started punching him. The coach came forward to rescue messi. Meanwhile, Messi is not making any effort to stop the beating, he is being beaten silently. Kabir is still saying, "Beast, I lost for you, you son of a bitch!." BTS, Latai and others joined hands with Coach. Kabir was somehow outdone by everyone. Kabir is screaming and crying a lot. Messi somehow sat up. BTS saw the bruises under his eyes. A little blood is coming out of the nose. The lips are also quite cut. But still Messi was not crying. Not talking, BTS grabbed some iodine from the first aid box and gave it to Diego. "Put it on," he said. Messi did not take the cotton. He sat quietly. Now the field is very empty. It was almost evening.
BTS saw Dawki Public leaving the field with their team, hurling wildly. Naturally, they did not expect Shillong High to lose on their own turf. But in reality it happened. Suddenly BTS saw Akash coming out of the crowd of players towards them. BTS was quite surprised. Why is he coming here?
"Why are you fighting among yourselves? The game is finished. Learn to take it sportingly! What do you think? you will win every time! Try your best and let's see if you can win the return match. There is time till February.' Akash said with a smile. Like a sprinkle of salt on a cut wound. Although it is true. The Challenge Cup is played between only these two schools. Two matches held in a year, one in November and one on the eve of 28th February. After the Test, the BTS' school ends, but they will play that match.That's the rule. If you calculate that, there is still three months. Akash's words prompted Kabir to say something, but coach forbade him. Akash smiled, then looked at Messi and said, “What the hell, why so fuse today? Come on man!, thanks to you, I could take the goal for you. Of course, even if it wasn't for that, we would have won today!
