Playing football at the end of PE lessons is something my year 9 group always look forward to. After stretching, running around the field for 10 minutes and doing some sit-ups, they have about 10 minutes at the end of the lesson to do what they want - normally they play football, and this time I joined in.
There are 7 guys in the class, so I made it 4 a side. I was one captain and Sebastian - a big Real Madrid fan - was the other captain. We chose our teams and ended up having a little game. They scored first. A terrible error by our keeper who tried to skill the attacker and ended up getting punished for it. After a bad start, it was time to up the pressure. We got some good possesion going and when the ball was sprayed out wide to our winger, I made a quality run in the box and a simple tap in was all that was needed. GOLLLLLL WILSONNN! 1-1! Terrific play. With our team then on top, we had to capitalize. With 2 minutes to go, we counter-attacked from one of their throw-ins in our area; quick passing, 1-2-1-2. I sprayed the ball out wide, made a run, received the ball back, then sent a thru-ball to the attacker. GOLLLLL. 2-1! And there was the full-time school bell!
A friendly 'Lo siento, has perdido' to Sebastian raised the spirits of the losing team and made everyone laugh, but I'm sure this small rivalry won't be over anytime soon, and there may be a re-match on the cards in a fortnight...
