God Of football - Chapter 56
Chapter 56: The Provider Chapter 56: The Provider [Somewhere in Valencia] “Ciiiro,Ciiiro, Ciro.” a mature female voice said.
“Yes mum” ,the boy named Ciro responded.
“Hurry up.
Didn’t you always want to see him play” the female voice said once again.
“Sorry mum I’m coming,let me just put on my jersey and let’s go” Ciro said.
His mother sighed with a wry smile displayed on her beautiful face.
After a while, a boy of about 10 years stepped into the hallway wearing a Valencia jersey.
He had the number 21 and Izan’s name on the back of the shirt.
Ciro stood there with a smug look which incited a laugh from his mother.
“You look just like him” Ciro’s mother said.
“Really mum” Ciro said with his eyes wide at his mother.
“Oh my gosh.
My son is so cute” Valentina,Ciro’s mother thought while clenching her chest.
“Yes son” Valentina said after she realised Ciro was still waiting for her answer.
“Ok now that you’re done lets go.
Your father is waiting in the Car” Valentina said before giving Ciro her hand.
Ciro grapped the hand infront of him and walked to the driveway with his mother.
“There you are, I was starting to think that maybe you would not go” Ciro’s father said.
“Come on Thomaso,you know he would not miss it for the world” Valentina said whiles throwing Ciro a glance.
Ciro smiled and hurriedly opened the car door.
Valentina who made sure Ciro was comfortable at the back sat in the front seat.
[Like any responsible adult would] The car finally started moving as the Family of three headed towards the Camp Mestalla stadium.
Ciro had been wanting to go watch a match at the stadium since last season but his parents never got time.
His fathers business was struggling a bit at that time so they never got time for it and although he was a kid,he could read the room so he never pestered his parents with it.
After his father’s company rebounded, he finally asked which lead to today.
“Today I must get an autograph from Izan” Ciro made a mental note whiles clenching his fist.
The Family of three got out of the car and started heading towards the stadium and although the match hadn’t even started,one could feel the energy from the parking lot.
“Ciro look” Valentina who had a bag in hand took out a marker and a white Cardboard.
“Cool mum,this way I can write in it and show it to him” Ciro said.
Valentina and Thomaso smiled.

They did not get much time for their son and so today they were trying to make amends by making good memories for him.
[Dressing room] “Okay guys this is it.
Coach talked the talk and now we walk the walk.
We need to go out ther and play like we want to win okay.
Are you with me” Gaya roared.
“Yes Cap” the dressing room shouted more or less in unison.
“Vamos” Gaya said before leading the team out.
Izan who was putting on an ankle tape finally got up and followed the team out.
Izan with the number 21 at his back was the last player on the team to come out so he lined up at the back.
Valencia’s home atmosphere was electric but the stone faces the Osasuna players displayed proved that it didn’t affect them.
The referee soon came and in a few minutes,the players were getting on to the pitch.
The energy and atmosphere in the stadium rose to a new level when the players came unto the pitch.
“Izaann,Izannnn, Gaya ,Pepelu,Duro!!!
Izan could hear the shouts of the fans who were near the pitch.
He simply flashed a smile at them but the women near the pitch couldn’t contain themselves.
This was no drake concert but the stewards had to warn them to keep their bras on.
Sometimes the women forgot Izan was underage because of the way he looked.
Izan smiled wryly at the situation which was unfolding.
The players lined up before the crowd and after a few minutes the players got into positions.
The referee who was officiating the match walked around for a bit before looking at his time.
The moment the clock hit seven,he blew his whistle.
‘Fweeeeeee’ [COMMENTATOR] ‘Welcome folks to another laliga game,this time between Valencia and Osasuna.
Valencia have played some good football this start of the season led by their young talisman who is smashing records after records,Izan Hernandez.
2 goals and 2 assists in 2 games is just ridiculous for a young one like him and I hope we see more of him.
We hope to see a good showing this match.
And as I’m speaking Valencia are on the attack.
Pepelu releases the ball to Gaya who is running on the wings.
Gaya nicely controls the ball before sending it across the pitch to Corriera who heads it towards the middle.
Now its Izan.
Izan driving forward pace and technique.
Lays it off to pietro aaannndddd…
oohhhhh Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll Valencia are ahead in the 3rd minute of the game.
Izan lays off a lovely ball to Pietro who make no mistake slotting it into the left bottom corner.’ [A moment ago] Hugo duro pressed the opponent keeper forcing him to send the ball upfield.
Mark who found the ball coming his way headed it towards Cenk Ożkacar.
Cenk after getting hold of the ball sent a grounded pass through the middle to Pepelu.
Pepelu after receiving the ball got away from an opposition player using a body feint.
After getting away, he saw Gaya making a run on the left wing.
Without wasting much time.
He sent the ball to him.
Gaya after controlling the ball found two Osasuna players heading his way.
Wanting to relieve pressure on the left side,he sent a diagonal pass to Corriera on the right flank.
The pass sent by Gaya was somewhat underwhelming and Correira,not wanting to lose the ball headed it into the middle of the pitch.
Two Osasuna players ran to where the ball was going to land but someone got there first.
Izan who had been watching the proceedings took hold of the ball but was surrounded by 2 Osasuna players with another approaching.
It seemed that the opponents had gone all out in rendering Izan ineffective in this game.Izan’s brain ran at full capacity and even more as he tried to get out of the encroachment.
Using a simple touch and go moves,Izan got away from the two players but was now facing a third.
At that moment,Izan saw Pietro making a run.
Izan after seeing this, faked a shot which made a few opponent player throw their bodies in the way before making a through ball to Pietro.
Pietro had just one player between him and the keeper now and because he was aware of his one on one effectiveness,Pietro didn’t hold onto the ball much longer and sent the ball the keeper’s way.
The Osasuna keeper tried to keep the ball out and even got a touch on it but it wasn’t enough to keep the ball out of the net.
Pietro who scored ran to the corner flag while being pursued by his teammates.
Upon reaching the corner flag.
He picked it up and started playing with it like a guitar.
The Valencia fans in the stadium were all ecstatic.
Their team had taken the lead in just 3 minutes.
Of course they would be happy.
The match soon restarted after the Celebrations.
Osasuna this time was more alert.
The players played compactly with no excessive movements.
They even got a corner but was headed away by Cenk.
The match went around for a while with Osasuna seeing more of the ball.
A miscontrolled pass from an Osasuna midfielder led to Izan receiving the ball once more.
With a Messi-esque run,Izan wormed his way through 5 opponent players.
This brought the fans in the stadium to the edge of their seats.
The Valencia fans were absolutely loving it while the Osasuna fans were the opposite.
“Fucking hell,he’s a kid.
Why is he toying with you guys like that” an Osasuna fan said.
“Its like they have never played football before in their lives” Another fan commented.
Other comments like these made their way out of the mouths of the Osasuna fans who couldn’t understand why their team couldn’t stop a kid.
“Get onto the pitch if you fucking can.
Can’t you see they’re trying.
Instead of you to support them you’re hear making silly comments ” a voice roared.
This made the people who were commenting previously bow their heads down.
Izan who was now free saw Hugo duro and tried to make a pass but he felt a tug on the collar of his shirt.
It was as if the other player was trying to strangle him.
The other Valencia players who saw this screamed and raised their hands in the air but the referee was already on it.
“Whats wrong with you dude.
Do you want to kill him” Pietro said to the Osasuna player.
But the other person just scoffed.” If he can’t handle this,then he should stop playing football.This is no child’s game”.
Pietro was about to go for the other person’s neck but Izan and Gaya held him back.
The referee after getting to the scene gave the Osasuna player a yellow card and awarded a freekick to Valencia.
Coach Baraja who stood on the touchline saw this and started laughing.
Coach Moreno who saw this smiled wryly.
“At this rate he’ll go mad” he thought.
Izan and Gaya both stood behind the ball with Pepélu on the side.
Izan looked at the wall infront of him and the goal.
“Max,you know what to do” Izan said with a thought.
“Thought you’d never ask” Max the system’s Ai said.
[Ding {Focus}skill activated,”Rocket” trait selected] Izan after hearing this breathed in and held his breath.
The referee after making sure the wall was okay blew the whistle.
Izan made the runup as the whole stadium looked on with breaths held and sent the ball over the Wall.
