Chapter 636: The Match or The Tie IV
“Hey, I’ll be back in a minute,” Jason said to Mckennie who was jogging beside him and left the guys who were jogging, not waiting for a response.

Walking across the field and into the view of the camera like he owned the place, he walked towards Temz.

Temz had long noticed his approaching presence and held her hands open for a hug that Jason didn’t shy away from, but he only went in halfway.

“Didn’t expect to see you here,” he said as he pulled away.

“Well, I was in Madrid. I can’t not be here to support you… Even though I don’t understand the first thing about football,” Temz said honestly with a little laugh.

“Oh cool,” Jason nodded, and then suddenly noticed Selina Gomes who was standing right beside him.

“You’re making a song with Selena Gomes?” he asked her in a low tone, surprise flashing across his eyes.

He knew Temz had been on a roll lately, but he didn’t think she was already able to feature in a song by Selina Gomes right after featuring on a Drake song.

“Well, I guess it’s not much of a secret now,” Temz laughed a little.

“Hey, I’m Jason,” Jason said, holding out a hand to Selina Gomes.

Selina looked at the two blue, gleaming orbs that were staring down at her from a height she had to look up to stare at, but before she could catch herself, she had already taken his hand.

She didn’t even know when she had been swept away by his naturally flowing charm.

“I’m Selina,” she said, doing her best to sound confident despite her heart already beating loudly in her chest.

“I know. Since you’re working with Temz, I guess I’ll catch you later,” Jason replied.

“Hey, I gotta run, we’ll talk later. I’ll try to create some time,” Jason said to Temz and gave a half salute to the show’s actual hosts, who had watched in silence everything that had just happened.

“I guess we know why Temz came to watch the game now,” Kate said after a few seconds of watching Jason jog back to the other Uventus players.

“Maybe next time Micah,” Jamie said and patted him on the shoulder as if comforting him.

“Hey, what do you mean by that!” Micah retorted sharply, pushing Jamie’s hand away, but everyone just laughed at him, including the two guests who didn’t know what they were laughing about.

Time ran quickly after and the show was soon paused and moved to another location as it was soon time for the match and the players went back into the tunnel to take off their bibs and began to line up in the tunnel.

With the anticipation building up to the game, the pre-match formalities didn’t take too much time, and the players were soon waiting in place for the referee’s whistle to kickstart the game.

The referee didn’t keep the world waiting and put his whistle to his mouth, blowing loudly.

*Fweeeeeeeee!*

The Madrid team kicked off the game, calmly beginning to pass the ball around, seemingly not in a rush to begin attacking, but the Uventus players were way too pumped up for a slow game play, and they quickly rushed into the Madrid half of the field wanting to steal possession quickly.

As a team that prided itself on momentum, the Madrid players didn’t take too kindly to the Uventus players rushing forward and they soon began playing ferociously as well.

The ball soon found Kroos, who calmly pushed the ball a meter forward, leaving it in striking distance as he scanned the field ahead of him and quickly picked out a pass.

Running up to the ball and hitting it powerfully, he sent a powerful curling pass into Asensio’s path on the right flank.

Bursting past Alex Sandro, Asensio jumped to catch the ball on his chest and landed on the edge of the penalty box, but Alex Sandro was already hassling him from behind, leaving him no choice but to come up with something quickly.

Seeing that the goal was within striking distance and that he wasn’t at an awkward spot yet, Asensio immediately chose to shoot.

{He let’s fly!} the commentator shouted as Asensio hit the ball powerfully, but the ball had hardly crossed a distance of three meters as it flew at the goal when De Ligt threw an outstretched leg into the ball’s path while in a slide tackle and deflected the ball up and out of play.

{Madrid almost kicked off an early scoring spree, but the Uventus man was at alert and threw himself in the ball’s path!}

{Madrid have a corner for their troubles and they’ll be looking to keep the pressure on with this corner!} the commentator said excitedly while Toni Kroos jogged over to the left corner flag to take the corner kick.

Soon, the ball was set up for the corner kick while the Madrid and Uventus players were pushing against each other in the penalty box as they waited for the ball to come flying in.

*Fweeeeeee!*

At the referee’s whistle, the ball was sent flying into the penalty box by Kroos.

The players of the two teams jumped at the ball, but it was Sergio Ramos who reached the ball first and he headed it at the Uventus goal.

Buffon who was alert to everything going on in the penalty box had predicted the direction the ball would go and was there to grasp it tightly, putting an end to the Madrid attack.

Not wasting any time, he quickly dodged the players and ran forward, quickly unleashing a powerful throw towards Kulusevski who was a few paces out in the middle of the field.

Kulusevski quickly caught the ball on his chest and turned with the ball, ready to take the ball forward, but he had barely advanced a few paces when he saw Jason darting down the left flank.

Kulusevski didn’t hesitate to send a pass forward into Jason’s path as he ran powerfully across the field, Dani Carvajal had on his tail.

Jason finally caught up to the ball a few meters away from the left corner of the Madrid’s 18-yard box, but as he caught to the ball and brought it under control, Carvajal who had been chasing him finally caught up and placed himself between him and the goal, trying to block Jason’s path to cut into the box.

Nevertheless, Jason confidently faced him, pushing the ball forward as if he was to run through the Madrid man, but while Dani was preparing to shield himself against Jason, Jason suddenly flicked the ball powerfully back down the flank.

Carvajal couldn’t react immediately, letting Jason have enough time to send a powerful curler with his left foot into the penalty box.

{Ball into the middle?}

{Mckennie with the header!}
