Chapter 9 - A hard trial 2

The match began and the timer started. Each half was given 30 minutes. 60 minutes to impress the young men were feeling the pressure. Andre on the sidelines was watching intently as he knew this could be a defining moment for Riley, his best friend.

The trial match went on as both sides tested each other. Came the 10th minute and one player on the field was getting frustrated. Riley has been making runs and calling for balls but his teammates had been ignoring him. He was getting frustrated because he wasn't given a chance by his teammates. Andre on the side knew exactly why the other players were isolating Riley and not passing him the ball. "Downside to being the best player on the pitch." Andre sighed as he continued to watch on.

The two middle aged men who were watching the game intently were furrowing their brows as they could see what was going on. "Grandpa Nux, why is that player not doing anything? I haven't seen him do anything with the ball." A boy of 8 years old spoke in German. Grandpa Nux the Borussia Dortmund scout turned to the boy and said calmly, "Must be a heck of a player. He better do something or he'll be left behind." A little girl who happened to be passing by heard this and quickly ran towards Andre. "Big brother! Emergency, Riley must start working hard or those old man over there will not take him." Adela who was a football fan and a big fan of Riley pointed to grandpa Nux on the other side. Andre who heard this was stunned and panicked. All of a sudden he shouted, "Hey Riley you better switch on and kill this game. These are the trials. Get your act together."

Riley was stunned for a while when he heard Andre shouting. 'Thanks for that buddy' as if a light switch had been flipped, Riley used his explosive pace to put pressure on the opposition player who had the ball. The boy tried to dribble past Riley but Riley was determined. The kid did a step over but Riley read it and snatched the ball. 'You won't pass me the ball? Watch me turn this trial game into my domain. DOMAIN EXPANSION' Riley a big Anime fan thought. Since he disposed the teams right back and they were close to the opposition box he charged straight into the box.

The right sided centre back came to try and put a stop to him but Riley who was still relatively fresh made him a YouTube short when he rainbow flicked the ball over him. The centre back was shocked at that skill. The left sided centre back saw his partner being humiliated and sprung into action but Riley saw him coming. Riley didn't even look to see who was making a run, he quickly let fly as the ball was struck with such venom that a 'bang' sound was heard. The keeper tried his best to parry the ball but was beaten by the speed

"Yessssssss." Andre on the side couldn't contain himself as celebrated that goal like he scored himself.
