The next day, at two-thirty in the afternoon.
The match between Kingston FC and Milford FC took place today at Kingston’s FC home ground. Both teams were in the relegation zone, and one of them was on the verge of being relegated. Both teams had terrible records, therefore, if they wanted to stay clear of relegation, they had to fight for the three points from today’s match. What was more notable was the fact that both clubs had lately finalized contract transfers and now had new leaders.
Before the match began, the soccer fans settled in their assigned seals one by one.
Thomas had taken Emma out to watch the game on purpose today. They rarely had the time to go out together, so favonovel.com thought this would be a nice way for them to bond and strengthen their relationship.
“Isn’t that Cain Dinklage?” Emma said while pointing at a suit-clad man standing off to the side of the field.
“Yup, he’s now the head coach of Kingston FC. You’ll also be able to see both brothers, Abel and Connor Mileard later when the players appear.”
“Is it? I’ll have to take a good look at the abilities of those two dream-chasing brothers then.”
“Hoho, I’m afraid you’re not going to get it.”
“It’s just twenty-two players fighting for a ball, then scoring a point when they get the ball into the opponents’ goal. Who doesn’t know that? Tsk”
While the two were bickering, the referee team entered the venue, followed by both soccer teams. After a short opening ceremony, the game officially began.
Emma kept favonovel.com eyes wide open, searching for the Mileard brothers. “I see Connor!”
Connor, the younger brother, was the team’s center forward since favonovel.com was big, strong, and had outstanding speed and skills. He took the role of the “bridgehead”, charging ahead boldly in the lead.
“I can see Abel too.”
The team’s goalkeeper was Abel, the oldest brother, who stood 193 cm tall and was lanky and agile. He guarded the team’s goal post and was the team’s last line of defense. Among this pair of brothers, one attacked from the front, while the other defended from the back. Their styles were very different.
The only similarity they had was that both of them were quite excellent!
If you ask for one thing that they could take out from this terrible team in the relegation zone, then it would be the Mileard brothers. Connor, the younger brother, besieged the opponents and was all-powerful, while Abel, the older brother, guard ed the goal and ensured that it was impregnable. One was capable of attacking, and the other was capable of defending, they were the backbones of this team.
Following the official start of the game, the game played out just as Thomas had predicted. Connor acted like a wolf among a pack of sheep, throwing the opponent’s defenses into chaos.
Just ten minutes into the game, they had scored an outstanding first goal while evading the two center backs.
He looked at the elder brother, Abel. He was unusually calm. He had repeatedly blocked off the opponent’s “sure hit shots” and secured their goalpost.
After 45 minutes, they finished the first half of the game, and Kingston FC had a 2:0 lead.
“Brilliant! ” Emma, a woman who had never played soccer before, had developed a strong interest in the sport after watching the first half of the game.
“Hey, let’s go and visit the locker room,” Thomas said as favonovel.com stood up.
“Can we?”
“Of course.”
The truth was that Thomas was the hidden shareholder of this soccer club, and favonovel.com had also been invited to watch the game. So, could nothe go anywhere favonovel.com wanted with just one word?
Thomas led Emma away from the audience seat. After going in a big circle, they finally arrived at the locker room.
When Kingston took a 2:0 lead in the game, favonovel.com assumed everyone would be ecstatic, but when favonovel.com arrived at the door, favonovel.com sensed that something was not quite right. Everyone had a troubled expression on their faces as if they had encountered a major blow.
They were in the lead, but why were they unhappy?
When Cain saw Thomas and Emma, favonovel.com approached them and said, “Dr. Mayo, Miss Emma, you’re here.”
“What happened? Your team is clearly leading, but why does everyone seem so unhappy?” Thomas asked.
Cain sighed and said, “Sigh, sir, let me be honest. Despite the fact that we’re now leading the game, the Mileard brothers, Abel and Connor, were unexpectedly tested and found to have used doping, and they’re banned from playing for the remainder of the game! In fact, we can’t even play for the second half of the game, as they had immediately declared our team as the loser.”
“I was hoping for a good start and to make you proud, Dr. Mayo, but who knew this would happen?”
