Football Lord - Chapter 19

After the match they were to have a break, bath change there clothes and meet in the seminar room.

In the locker room, Tony found a chance to jokingly apologize to the midfielder he dribbled past three times during the match as it was nothing personal

He and John then went to the cafeteria to have some food to replenish there strength from training.

Rose reminded Tony to begin copying the skill of Agility B+ he had achieved as he felt the cold feeling all over his body again.

When they were done eating, they went to the seminar room with the other players and coaches.

Coach Taylor briefly discussed somethings about the training match and discussed some pointers out for them.

After they finished the brief analysis all the players, started moving towards the gate. Tony who had is car remained in the back, as he quietly went towards his car in the parking lot.

John waited for Tony at the gate of the academy, as he felt maybe he went back to the locker room to get something.

After waiting for some minutes, and when he wanted to start going before he missed the next bus he saw a wonderful red sport car.

When the car passed by and stopped, John thought it was a senior team player or staff that came over to the youth academy.

Until he looked to see who was driving and saw Tony behind the wheel.

“Hey so you brought your parents car and didn’t offer me a ride, that’s just unfair.” He jokingly said.

Tony decided not to correct him about the ownership of the car, as he let him believe the car belonged to his parents.

“Sorry I forgot to tell you, hop in let me drop you off.”

After jumping in, they moved along as John was fiddling with the stereo and the new CDs Tony bought. Before he then selected an album and put into the player.

Both players discussed about training and some other things as Tony smoothly drove.

Tony decided to drop him off, as his house wasn’t too far from his place. After he then offered to pick him up the next morning on there way to the academy.

After dropping John off, Tony called his Friends from highschool. Paul, Tom and Harry.

As they took the car for a joyride. All three of his friends knew how to drive as they all took turns test running the new car.

They were happy for Tony as they congratulated him on his new car.

“Hey Tony did you rob a bank or something.” Paul asked as they joked about teasing each other as they drove around.

“Nope, I robbed about three banks, or do you want to join me in the next bank job?” as they bantered with each other.

After they had all gotten a little tired from test running the car in the evening, they went to a restaurant where Tony treated them to anything they could eat.

After all four boys had eaten there fill, Tony dropped all of them home before driving home.

There were a host of average skills of C he had already achieved there conditions to copy he had not yet copied.

Tony then had his breakfast and prepared to go for training.

While he was leaving home, he used his phone to call John and inform him that he was on his way over to his house.

He picked up John as they drove to the academy.

On getting to the academy’s parking lot, some players saw them coming in as they checked the car out.

Tony could even see some envious expressions as he and John greeted them as they rushed into the locker room to change.

Training was uneventful for Tony, He performed the various drills and sat on the bench to watch a training match.

He wasn’t amongst those that were to partake in the training match for the day. He watched as one team won overwhelmingly with a final Score of 4:1.

His friend John was on the team and had even scored a goal.
