Anton slapped his gloves as he shouted instructions to his teammates: "Let's get the game flowing, without rushing! And Felix, without inventing too much and compromising the ball again!" He flashed a smile at Felix, and it made a vein pop out of Felix's head.
"The son of a bitch changes when he's on his game..." muttered Felix.
The ball rolled out, and Lucas quickly intercepted a pass from Denis that was aimed at Miguel on the right.
With the ball at his feet, Lucas took a few steps forward, but soon passed to Raphael on the left. Raphael received it calmly, gliding as if he were part of the pitch, with a lightness that showed his intimacy with the ball. With a quick glance forward, he decided not to keep the pass back this time. He advanced down the wing, evading an opponent and keeping possession with an unpretentious skill that captivated those watching.
However, Ex-A-Team quickly closed down his marker.
