Makinde looked over all the stats and couldn't help but feel excited at the chance of finally being able to steal such a talented players talent. After another ten minutes of waiting Makinde was finally called in along with Joshua and a few other players.
The sponsors would have spent a lot of resources because not only were there talented players like Ronaldo nezario and Ronaldinho present there also other super stars like Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth and Emma stones as celebrities of the event and also celebrity coaches like judge Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti and even Pep Guardiola.
Among all the Kids present in his group Makinde was the smallest and scrawniest but he stood in the fire front releasing an air of confidence around him. Before the start of the evaluations for the players each person was required to randomly pick a plac with numbers engraved on it from 1 to 22 and Makinde picked no 16 plac while Joshua picked the no 15.
The evaluation began and while some of the kids are there celebrated at having being chosen for the program, others were not so lucky as they hung their heads low and some even burst in tears as they left the training facility.
Joshua's turn finally came and Makinde got to see the effect of the S grade football talent on display as Joshua easily maneuvered the ball dribbling through the cones to complete the mandatory ball movement drill, he performed so well that Makinde who was only planing on juggling the ball and performing some skills felt that it would be too mediocre to do just that.
Even the judges were impressed with Joshua's performance
"How would you feel about a youth football contract with Barcelona " Pep Guardiola offered
"Of course not he would come to my PSG" Carlo Ancelotti immediately counter offered.
"What does PSG have to offer him, if you sign for us you will get a chance to play with Messi in the future" Pep said with a confident smirk
"I would think about it and give you my response after the training" Joshua repliee as he could barely contain his excitement.
Makinde's evaluation soon started and as soon as he stepped up he could already feel the pressure of the judges gazes as they stared at him with disinterested gazes clearly not expecting much from him after seeing such an exceptional performance from Joshua.
Makinde felt burning anger inside as their uninterested and bored look brought back memories from his past life of how everyone disregarded him and looked down on him but he managed to keep his anger in check swearing to prove himself right here and now.
The camera immediately focused on him as he got the ball and Makinde easily completed the ball movement drill and performed a couple of juggles just like he initially planned, like a few crossovers and around the world gaining attention from a few judges like Ronaldo Nezario and even Carlo Ancelotti along with Chris Hemsworth.
To finish of his display he flicked the ball forward and rose to the air to meet the ball while using his power shot talent and he smashed the ball into the top corner scoring a bicycle kick 22 meters away from goal at only the age of 10 years old.
The judges couldn't help but be impressed by his performance and he managed to amass 6 votes out of the initial seven judges
"You definitely are talented and I can't wait to see more of what you can do in the coming months" Carlo Ancelotti said to him sincerely.
After a thirty minutes wait, the result were finally out and Makinde made it as one of the 50 candidate chosen for the program in his group of the over 200 candidates.
Makinde was leaving the waiting area when a voice called out to him
"Hey kid " The voice startled Makinde who was lost in thought as always about ways he could have being better in his performance.
As Makinde turned back he saw none other than Ronaldinho one of the greatest player to have ever players the game of football, he walked towards him his signature smile grazing his lips.
"That was definitely a performance you showed out there boy" Ronaldinho said as he patted Makinde's back, Makinde was too stunned to speak as he couldn't believe he speaking and standing in front Ronaldinho one of his idols in his past life, he would spend hours watching his dribble clips and practicing them.
