Chance or Destiny....Part 5 Continues....

...
I quickly went to the hostel ,put on my boots and off to the field.....

The turnout was full to the 'brim' though i could not pin point any face,i was 99.99999999999% high.The rain had just stopped,the ground was slippery but the weather was cool

'Jojo,oya now ,we don de wait u,lets warm up'........Seye ran to me
'ok,ok'.........i started jogging after him

I really could not tell how i  finished the warm up,it was as if i was being controlled by the wind,i felt so light.
The referee whistle blasted for the game to be started.I was positioned as a left attacker ,using the 4-3-3 formation,my job was to always try and cut in so as to get a shot with the right leg.

The game was tight ,both teams were not giving out space,i was dashing in and out of spaces trying to create a chance for myself.Seye was a fantastic midfielder,he had full control of the midfield,he tried threading some passes to the front line but the  other team defence stood Strong.

After like 15 mins ,the alcohol started to work,i could not co-ordinate my runs and i was beginning to tire out.

All at once ,Seye intercepted a pass ,looked up and our eyes locked and instantly i knew he wanted me to make the run.
The pass was excellent,through pass of great quality. I made the run,looking over my shoulder,the defence line were looking at the referee for an off side but i was on side.

I began to chase this ball,i chased,i ran with all my strenght because i knew if i got to it i would be one on one with the goal keeper.My mind has already decided what i would do with the ball.....no doubt i would beat him with a 68 dribble.

well.........the only issue was that i did not meet the ball,the ball was right in front of me and i was running with all my strength and the ball moved slowly over the touch line.

Next thing i knew i was face on the ground almost eating the grass.A large hush fell on the crowd then i began to hear the laughter,i quickly formed as if i had been wounded and i needed medical attention.

The rest of the game was a fiasco,i kept falling every two minutes...Seye was mad at me but at that juncture we had exhausted our subs so i could not be substituted.

We lost the match by a lone goal.............

I covered my head with my jersey as i made my way to the hostel,Seye refused to speak to me after he knew i was drunk,the girls were calling my name,i ignored them.The vomiting started when i got to the hostel.

The yabis started.......i had made too much mouth.......i saw Makanaky later in the day...

'Jojo ,omo you fumble gan o,if to say you meet that ball na goal e for be o'
'Omo i speed na'....i tried to defend myself
'that na for your mind o,na slow motion we dey see for outside o'......he replied
'haaaaaa'....dem Chichi nko?........i asked
'dem de wait you for mammy o,dem say u mess up'


I could not show my face at the mammy market for 2 days.............
