Chapter 8 - How Did The Team Get Together?

The Day After the Quarter Finals ...

Helder and his teammates were waiting for the coach, sitting on the field.

They would not practice the day after the match.

They would analyze in detail their next competitors and study them.

He came towards the field with slow steps on the coach.

"Is everybody ready?"

"Yes, coach."

So we"re starting to analyze our opponent in the semifinals.

The coach started talking.

"As you know, our opponent in the semi-finals is Istanbul"s well-established Mustafa Çamcı Secondary School. This school was the only champion of Istanbul in the last 7 years. Nobody has stopped them until now. So do you think we can achieve this? "

"Yes, coach!" the pitch groaned with the sound of football players.

The coach was happy to see the players" perseverance and continued to speak.

"Although Turkey"s top 8 teams in place although they are, they could never be Champion Turkey. That"s why they are not invincible. But don"t overestimate them or underestimate your opponent. "

Helder raised his hand.

"Can I speak if you let me, coach?"

"Speak, Helder," said the coach.

"Until today, we have managed to tactics according to the opponent and beat them. But this time the opponents of our players in Turkey"s U-12 national team. I doubt whether our tactic will work. "

"You are right, Helder, thanks to you, and with the tactics in your mind, we have survived until today."

The coach was telling the truth.

Throughout the history of the Orange Necklace Middle School, which Helder was studying, he never succeeded in even the smallest tournament.

Because the Orange Necklace secondary school was a small neighborhood school.

Even before Helder started school, the team did not even have a football team.

Helder had changed this with the experience of his previous life, the fate of the school.

He watched all the students at the school, took notes.

And he talked to everyone one-on-one.

He gathered the whole team.

Seeing this ambition of Helder, the Mathematics teacher wanted to help him.

The math teacher had played football before as a semi-professional and football was his biggest hobby, closely following the matches all over the world.

Seeing his interest in Helder, he saw no problem joining the team as a coach.

Thus, the team was fully established.

Usually, they prepared the tactics of the team together with the coach.

And the coach was very surprised by this situation.

It"s as if this 12-year-old boy was born for football.

Aries was not mistaken in his feelings.

Helder Xerxes lived for football ...
