It's midday, and all the players are on the field waiting for Naomi.
A few minutes later, she arrived, but not alone; she had three other people, all dressed sharply and normally.
"Good afternoon, boys i hope none of you skipped your morning training."
None of the boys answered.
"As you can see, I brought 3 more people who will help me with the next round. These are our assistant coaches. First, we have Elio Santar - Youth Scout Director."
Elio stepped forward with a smile. "It's nice to see that the players I recommend are doing well."
Most of the players looked around when he said that.
Naomi pointed to the woman next to Elio.
"That's Iris Volkov, Development Squad Manager."
"It's a nice pleasure to meet you all i'm not good with the French she said. Her presence was strict, even though she didn't speak well, even more strict than Naomi's.
Naomi paused before saying the last name.
"And last but not least, Kael Strauß, he's our Assistant Coach."
Kael didn't say anything; he just looked the players in the eyes.
"With the four of us, it means there will be four matches happening at the same time on this field. The field will be divided equally."
"I will call out all the teams and their members, starting with team A. You have Kario, Eli Noah, Kai Renzo, and Nyx Calder."
A few minutes passed, and all teams had been assigned and placed in a group. Team A was placed with team E, B & H.
Iris stepped forward, "Team A, you will be going up against Team E."
"And I will be overseeing your match. Follow me"
Both teams walked behind her closely as she led them to their Section. A player from Team E smirked while his eyes looked at Iris up and down.
"Damn, all the women at Noire Blau are fine as hell, man."
"Shhhhh, mind she hears you, Davis."
"Chill out, she didn't."
She did hear him, though, but she didn't react because it doesn't make any sense.
They reached their side of the field. Iris turned to face them.
"The rules are simple: the first team to score three goals wins."
"I will be here watching all of you guys. If you get a yellow card, you will be placed out of the game for five minutes, and if it's a red card, then you won't continue the game."
She raised her head and pointed at the cameras that were mounted around the field. "Just so you know, everything is being recorded."
The boys got into their positions.
[A few hours ago, Earlier That Morning]
"Nyx your a big guy lets put you in goal," said Noah
"Fine by me, even though I normally play Left Back."
"And for the rest of us i think we should be focusing on offense because we don't know the other teams. We will change our formation if anything," said Noah
"I actually agree with you," said Eli.
"TAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH dark horse, I know you will get it."
"Stop calling me that."
Noah ignored him
"So, for the time being, dark horse and I will be the strikers."
"Mr. Shorty will be a midfielder and Renzo the defender."
"I got no problem." Said Renzo
Kario looks at them. Does it even make sense that I play? I just gotta hope I can pull off those tricks again. He thinks to himself.
[Now Back to Present]
The field was smaller and tighter, but it's ok.
Across from Team A stood Team E, and at the centre was a massive figure. He was bald for his age, and he had a good height with purple eyes. He stepped forward, closer to Noah.
"I have been waiting a long time to go up against you, Mr. Noah. Today is the day I crush you with my bare hands," he said with a smile.
"oh really," said Noah
"Who would have thought you would all team up with a bunch of nobodies when you have so many talents here?"
He glanced at kairo "Pathetic."
"Take my advice, give up because you won't win."
Kairo looks at Kai. "Who's that?" he asks.
"That's Zayden Noir, he's the king of the beast, he's known for his strength, and he's ability to block every ball and stop every play," said Kai
"Is he that good?" asked Kario
"Yea he's a monster in his own right."
Iris looks down the field to see Naomi and the others to see if they are ready.
The other players are sitting in the stands watching.
They all blow their whistle together, starting the game.
It's time for the Kickoff.
In the middle of the field, Noah and Eli stand with the ball. Noah passes it to Eli, who dashes up the field with his dribbles.
His dribbles were tight but controllable.
The field isn't too big or long, so I don't have to worry about being tired easily, he thinks to himself.
One of the other players dashed towards him.
Eli shifted him by placing his left foot forward and using his right foot to pass the ball to his left foot he tap the ball back to the right switch, then cut.
The player was left behind, but two more closed in. Eli didn't panic.
He looked to his right and sees noah, so he sent a curveball straight towards Noah.
He plants his left foot and shoots with his right foot as soon as the ball reaches in front of his foot. The keeper dives to save it but Noah slimes.
The ball curves, but out of nowhere, Zayden appears in the air, blocking it with a header.
"What the hell," said Noah.
Before the ball could hit the ground, Zayden controlled it mid-fall and fired it up the field with insane force and out of nowhere.
A figure appeared on the other end. The same player Eli cut out.
He swings his right leg to sink a volley into the top right corner
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL
