God Of football - Chapter 57
Chapter 57: Call Me The Flash Chapter 57: Call Me The Flash “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 run up as the whole stadium looked on with breaths held and sent the ball over the Wall.
[Osasuna Keeper pov] “Why did he have to foul him and this close to the goal” Sergio Herrera thought.
“Well he’s has already gone and done it so let’s try to get out of this situation unscathed” “Oh the referee blew the whistle.
Wait why isn’t he moving.
Okay he’s finally moving” “Why is he running to the corner flag.
He hasn’t even played the ball yet or is it one of their tactics.
….
Sergio Herrera, Osasuna’s keeper was in the right to be confused.
To him,Izan hadn’t kicked the ball yet.
Sergio Herrera looked inside his net and saw the ball inside the net.
“Wait,what the hell” he roared.
[COMMENTATOR POV] ‘Izan looks like the one to take this freekick.
Izan can he make this one count and uhhhhh ‘What a Rocket from Izan.
Sergio Herrera doesn’t even know the that the ball’s been kicked and now that he realises it he seems to not understand what went on’ The Valencia fans had a delayed reaction because the didn’t see when the ball went inside the goal.
Izan after scoring run towards the fans and blew them a kiss.
The Valencia fans erupted into cheers after seeing his celebration especially the women and the young girls.
“What was that” Pietro ruffled Izan’s hair after he got near him whiles Gaya came in for a hug.
“You,what do you eat.
How could such a shot come from your skinny legs” Pepélu said whiles fist bumping Izan.
“Pepélu you know we eat the same thing at the Cafeteria.
Its just that I’m too talented” Izan said with a smirk.
‘”Ohhh,someone’s tongue is getting sharp” Pepélu said as they walked back to their half.
“Vamos, no te desanimes, podemos revertir esto” [Let’s go don’t be disheartened.
we can turn this around] The Osasuna captain, David Garcia said trying to rally his teammates together.
‘FWEEEEEE’ The referee sounded the whistle for the 3rd time in 32 minutes.
Osasuna after the restart,played with the urgency that was required of them.

It was now Valencia’s turn to experience the barrage of shots by Osasuna.
Valencia however didn’t falter in face of the shots from the opponents.
Giorgi Marmadashvili pulled out save after save trying to keep the ball out.
The Valencia team as a whole put their bodies on the line,trying to block the shots from the Osasuna players.
They did well until the 45th minute.
The assistant referee signaled 1 minute of added time.
The ball was with the Osasuna players.
Jesus Aresso,the Osasuna right back passed the ball to Ibanez in the midfield.
Izan and a few Valencia players tried to press him but Ibanez got away.
Ibanez after getting away from the Valencia players sent the ball to Oroz.
Oroz after getting the ball dribbled a bit before sending it out wide to Jose Arnaiz.
Correira who now faced Arnaiz tried to challenge for the ball.
Arnaiz made a feint which made Correira commit before sending the ball the other way.
Arnaiz after getting away from Correira looked in to the box and saw Raul Garcia and a few other players in the box.
Without wasting much time,he sent the ball into the box.
Raul Garcia who was held down by Mark broke out of his grasp and jumped to meet the ball.
Marmadashvili in the goal felt that the ball was too close for comfort so he came out to meet the ball.
With his hands infront Marmadashvili jumped and tried to get hold of the ball and did so spectacularly.
Unfortunately for him,the ball slipped when landing causing Oroz,the Osasuna player to nudge the ball into the box.
The Osasuna fans who were having a tough time today forgot all their worries and let loose.
The fans celebrated like they’d won a trophy.
The Valencia fans on the other hand could only smile wryly.
Marmadashvili who had caused the goal raised his hand in an attempt apologise.
The Fans who saw this started clapping for the players.
After the restart,the referee blew the whistle to signify the end of the first half.
The players walked off after the referee blew the whistle.
[In the stands] “Did you enjoy the first half” Valentina said whiles handing Ciro a juice box .
“Yes mum” Ciro said,nodding fervently.
Valentina just smiled at looked at Ciro who was having the time of his life.
[Valencia Dressing room] Izan took off his socks.
Spike marks were found all over his legs.
“Izan can you play” Coach Baraja said.
He had seen the opponents being a bit rough with Izan in the first half.
He had been complaining to the officials about it but nothing was done.
The referee was even lenient with them for the hard tackles they made.
“After this I’ll have to complain to the FA.
Some of these tackles are just horrendous” Baraja said Izan smiled at Baraja’s words.
He could feel the sincerity in them and was thankful.
“If you feel any discomfort,signal to us so we can take you off okay,we can’t risk your career over this match okay” Baraja said to Izan.
“Yes coach,I will” Izan responded.
After a quick pep talk,the players exited the dressing room before coming out of the tunnel.
Some of the fans who had left their seats were also returning from wherever they had ventured.
[COMMENTATORS POV] ‘ We are back from the break and if you are just joining us, its Valencia 2, Osasuna 1.
The Valencia team was fantastic in the first half although the let themselves down in the final minutes of that half.
‘But I wouldn’t blame them too much as a spark lit up in the Osasuna team after they conceded 2 goals causing them to play some really exciting football.
‘We hope for more or less the same in the second half.
I’m Dani Carzola and once again I’m your commentator for this match.’ Osasuna once again after the start of the second half were on the front foot.
51′ Barja,Osasuna’s right winger got the ball from a throw.
After trapping the ball he played a one-two pass with Oroz who had come to his aid.
Oroz’s pass unleashed Barja on the right flank.
Jose Gaya who had been able to track back successfully tried to go for a sliding challenge but Barja got out of the way.
Barja who now found himself almost near the corner flag sent a low cross into the box.
The ball moved through the legs of a few defenders before slowing down.
Raul Garcia,Osasuna’s striker suddenly appeared to put a touch on the ball changing the ball direction towards goal.
Unfortunately for him,Marmadashvili with his leg stretched outwide cleared the ball away from the goal.
The Valencia fans heaved a sigh of relief.
The Osasuna fans however were pumped.
Their team had almost scored and they still had a chance from the corner.
Oroz,Osasuna’s attacking midfielder stepped up to take the cornerkick.
After raising his hand to say he was ready,Oroz sent a neat ball Into the box.
All was sailing smooth until Marmadashvili appeared to punt the ball out of the box.
Izan who was waiting for a chance to counter appeared.
The Osasuna players who saw this started to chase after him.
But who was Izan, “Ding [speedster] trait activated”.
Izan turned on the jets and with a +5 speed stat boost, Izan left them all in the dust.
Izan moving with pace cut the pitch in half as he had just crossed the centre circle.
The two defenders who had stayed behind began approaching Izan but the latter didn’t even glance at them.
Izan with a smooth roulette got rid of the first player before kicking the ball ahead of the second player.
The Osasuna player was now desperate as he tried to grab Izan but Izan was not having it.
Izan smacked the defender on the hand when he grabbed his shirt.
Izan after getting away ran and caught up to the ball.
It was just him and the keeper now.
Izan cool and calm under pressure did a few stepovers to confuse the keeper.
The keeper who saw Izan’s body moving left wanted to commit but he at the same time he was afraid.
He knew that this was obviously a feint but what if it wasn’t.
Finally Sergio Herrera followed Izan and tried to grab the ball but with a chop,Izan sent the ball the other way.
Sergio Herrera who was going the other way suddenly turned to where Izan was going forcefully in hopes that he could still get to the ball but it didn’t come without consequences as he twisted his ankle.
Izan seeing this sent the ball the other way again and followed suit.
Sergio Herrera who now felt a ridiculous amount of pain in his ankle all at once couldn’t even move again.
Izan who had now gotten rid of the keeper saw a defender in the goal.
With a feint Izan got rid of the defender but was facing another one.
With another feint Izan sent the second defender to the ground before tapping the ball into the net.
The fans were shocked but they soon recovered.
‘Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaallllll’ The Valencia fans screamed their hearts out.
Izan had given them another goal to celebrate.
