God Of football - Chapter 47
Chapter 47: Dull Chapter 47: Dull The rough descent of the plane woke Izan up from slumberland.
He looked around and saw that his seatbelt had been fastened for him.
He turned to look at the person beside and found Jose Gaya besides him.
Izan smiled to show his appreciation to which Jose Gaya responded with a curt nod.
The plane finally landed and came to a halt after a while.
The players started getting down from the plane and soon enough they found themselves on a bus towards where they would be staying.
The Valencia team had arrived a day ahead of schedule in order to get more work in and prevent any complications from jet lag or anything of that sort.
The player after they arrived at the hotel were told to rest before the afternoon session.
It was going to be a light training match and some recovery exercises.
Izan went to his room after they had dispersed and slept for a bit.
“I haven’t checked the system and my stats in a while” he thought.
“I have been saving a bit of points during preseason so I guess I should use them before the start of the season” “System” Izan called out as a screen that only he could see materialised before his eyes.
[Yes Host ] “Can you show me my status and information ” Izan commanded with a thought.

Jose Gaya would have an upper hand in the Overall rating but Izan had better stats.
Izan started with the distribution mainly focusing on his body control and spatial awareness.
The Coach had decided to play him in a bit of a free role in the middle as an experiment and he would need the vision.

Izan checked the shop and saw nothing of interest so he decided to close the system for now.
[Training] “Coach,is it me or does Izan look much sharper” Moreno asked.
“So it wasn’t just me” Baraja said.
“I also thought the same” he said.
Izan was passing from everywhere and he seemed to be just about everywhere.

His mates just couldn’t seem to mark him.
His passes where splitting their defences and whenever he went on a run,they couldn’t get the ball off him.
*sigh* ” What did Marco say after monitoring his levels today” Baraja asked Moreno.
“He said he can play tomorrow ” Moreno said drawing a smile from Baraja but he had not finished.
“But it should be limited to about 30 to 40 minutes.
He suggested him coming off the bench but you are the expert so” Moreno said.
Baraja stood there in thought and was thinking about how to utilise Izan well enough.
The day passed like this and soon enough it was the night of the match [COMMENTATOR] ‘Hello lovely viewers and welcome to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium and I’m your commentator for today.
The name’s Andres Cantor and today I’m joined by Diego latore’ ‘Thank you Andres and I’m excited for today’s match.
The atmosphere is just wonderful here and I know the fans are excited too ‘Diego let’s talk about Valencia CF who had a very good pre-season.
Winning against the likes of Tottenham and Dortmund.
Even though it was preseason,they still played spectacularly and it seems Manager Baraja has found his talisman in the form of 15 year old Izan Miura Hernandéz.
‘You know Cantor, I still find it hard to believe that he’s not yet 16 after he puts on splendid performance after performance.
‘Valencia have found a treasure in their youth setup and not only him as Pietro and Mark who are academy additions have also found their place in Manager Baraja’s team and with newly promoted Sosa Herrera who is joining straight from the u19s,this season seems good for Valencia.
‘Okay Diego the players seem to be coming out of the tunnel and the ones to watch today are definitely veteran Rakitić and En-nesyri on the Seville team and on the Valencian side its surely going to be Hugo duro who had a good season last season and wonderkid Izan Miura.
‘Yes Cantor,but from the lineups it seems Coach Baraja has benched Izan.
Well he is a kid afterall and he needs time because even though he shows that maturity on the pitch,he’s still young and needs to transition well from youth level to senior level football.
‘Well folks this is the lineups for both teams’ “Sevilla”:4-2-3-1 Gk:Yassine Bonou Fullbacks: Jesus Navas, Marcos Acuna Centrebacks:L.

Almeida The match was soon underway after the lineups were displayed.
Valencia in this match decided to play a direct type of football whiles sevilla sat deep waiting for a chance to counter.
The match was mainly dull for the first few minutes but turned exciting after both teams got grooving.
Sevilla was the first to attack after a timely run from their striker saw him get a pass from Rakitić.
En-nesyri, free from his marker had the chance to make it count had it not been for a beautiful a tackle from Diakhaby.
The match continued on a good pace and it seemed like a goal was inevitable.
Hugo Duro who was not in the box got on the end of a loose ball after a failed cross.
With precision and power,he sent the ball towards the opponents goal.
Yassine bonou could only watch as the ball entered the net.
The stadium erupted into cheers as there were many travelling Valencia fans who had come to see the match.
Izan who was on the bench felt relieved when his team scored the goal.
He had been on edge ever since Rakitić’s shot smacked the post.
This goal had somehow assured him.
The Valencia players and fan’s joy was short lived as shortly after the restart the Sevilla team got a penalty.
A bad tackle from Gabriel had caused the referee to blow his whistle.
Marmadashvili stood in a face off against Rakitić.
A battle of nerves but Rakitić didn’t sem affected as he stepped up and smacked the ball into the top left corner.
Marmadashvili had no choice against the former Barcelona man.
The first half would continue like this with neither side managing to take the lead.
