With the game over and Cagliari victorious the team was happy to have started well but they were all worried that the last moment of the game was simply something that would make them cry it was a big mistake by a great player it's something that shouldn't happen not even if we were last in the 2nd Division.
While everyone else was complaining about it Usman hung up on Usman and asked if he was ok
Are you okay Cossu?
I don't know!
Don't worry, start winning, it's not everything even if we had taken the draw, we only have to win all the other 37 games of the season :D.
Hahahaha, thank you.
After they are calmer and are leaving to go home Sofia appears and says that she is going to take a picture of Usman
Wilian waits (Sofia)
Um, what's up?
We have to take a picture mainly for future biographies, because you are one of the candidates for Golden Boy of 2013 depending on how you play these last 5 months December you will receive the Golden Boy, because last season you had an excellent half season in 2013 .
Hahahahahaha you really flatter me (Usman)
Wilian I don't think it's good you say that last season you played 34 games in all in the year 16 games for Touluose and 18 games for Cagliari when you were 17 to 18 years old and the Golden Boy wins until the age of 20 before the age of 21 and even if it was just for the last season of the 16 games played for Touluose you managed to score 3 goals and 1 assist as an MVP in 5 games out of the 16 you participated in and when you arrived at Cagliari you managed to more than double the number of goals and double the number of assists with 8 goals and 2 assists in 18 games being MVP in 7 of those games. (Sofia)
Altogether in one year you were MVP in 12 games practically a player who does that in his debut year are much more considered than you think and if in these 19 games you have until December you are good enough Golden counts not by the season in which he plays, but by the Year, that is, the end of last year will only count with the beginning of this year. (Sofia)
That's why in every game I'll take a picture of you being MVP, having scored a goal or even having made a pass for someone to score a goal. (Sofia)
hmm okay then 😊.
And another factor you received practically more than 20 proposals from different teams which I refused because none of the teams were big enough to easily take you out of Cagliari and as you are starting the season for the first time here in Italy maybe you will show to the biggest teams his talent is on the field this year. (Sofia)
