The morning sun filtered through Lio's window, casting a warm glow across his room. It was game day—a day he'd been waiting for, a day to prove himself. This wasn't just any match; this was his chance to show everyone what Rosario High and he, Lio Thunder, could do.
He rose from his bed, feeling a mixture of calm and anticipation that grew with each passing second. Grabbing his earbuds, he turned on his favorite playlist, letting the steady beat and lyrics pulse through him, fortifying his spirit. As he got dressed, he replayed each move in his mind, each feint and shot coming to life. By the time he left for the stadium, his confidence was unbreakable.
The locker room at Rosario High was a blend of excitement and anticipation. Players were suited up, chatting, laughing, and exchanging last-minute tips. The room buzzed with energy, an undercurrent of nervous excitement that even the most seasoned players couldn't quite shake.
