66 Special Training
Tony who had been walking slowly since the fall went into his house and immediately saw relief on his parents face when he got home. "It's a good sign that you are not on crutches or were told you would be needing a wheel chair." Tony's father jokingly said when he saw him.
Tony laughed at his luck and explained everything to them at how it had only been an injury Scare before they all had there dinner together and he went back to his room to rest.
He and Rose had also been mind communicating throughout the match and the whole experience and she was also there, so their was no need to explain any other thing to her. He weighed his options on the which skill to copy between the heading skill of B- and the Crossing skill of B+ before he finally decided on copying the crossing skill as he felt the cold feeling come over his body.
He was a creator so he had to have very good delivery into the box and create good and accurate chances for his teammates. After that he replied to messages from his friends about his injury Scare as he continued to press his phone for a long time before he finally slept off.
The next day was a Sunday and his friends came to greet him at home and played game for a long while as Tony was asked to totally rest up and stay home by the team's doctor. He stayed at home all through out the day even after his friends had left as he properly rested at home.
Tony had also checked his system stats the next morning to check on his newly copied Crossing skill from the previous day.

He saw that his crossing had now improved and he was happy as he continued to rest at home throughout the Sunday while his friends had later come to visit and hangout.
On Monday Tony and John got to training and Tony was given a medical check on his hamstring before he was totally cleared to go back and join the team's training while still being a little cautious.
The teams doctor had also given Tony some information about avoiding injuries and how he needed to come to the doctors once he felt any discomfort in any part of his body.
When he got back to training, Rose also advised him to go inform the coach about giving him a lesson or training on playing in damp conditions and how best he was to adapt to the conditions.
After thinking about it for a while Tony felt it was necessary to avoid future injuries in such matches, and went to go inform Coach Taylor.
"Morning Coach" Tony said when he got to Coach Taylor who was overseeing the team's training on the training pitch.
"Morning Tony, How is the leg and the results from the medical check this morning." Coach Taylor asked as he appeared to be a little bit more concerned than normally.
"The doctor said it was perfect and would be coming to come discuss it with you soon. I just wanted to ask if I could get a short training on playing in wet conditions, or some advice on how I should play in such situations." Tony asked after some chitchats.
"Ohh. That's true some of the new players have not had experiences playing under such conditions. Don't worry I will try and quickly arrange for one of the staffs to get somethings set. Just go warm up and join your teammates, we would inform you and the other new players on the team when everything is set."
Tony went to Join his teammates and began training for some minutes before he, John and the other three players who had joined the team from the trials were called and taken to a much smaller training pitch of about 50 yards in length and width.
The smaller training pitch was not too far from their regular training pitch and was usually used for individual training of players who just recovered from injuries or were in recovery.
They then began training on the smaller training pitch that had been purposely flooded with water to try and teach them the basics and necessary changes to adapt to by the Fitness Coach of the team.
John and the other three players were also training with Tony, and appeared to have no experience and training playing in top gear on a wet surface due to all of them having just joined the academy with Tony this season, and were all considered newbies in the eyes of the other academy players.
Most young boys who liked to play football and were not in an academy usually had this problem as they would usually stop playing when they saw the weather was bad and not risk later getting a cold.
They trained together at this training pitch from Monday to Wednesday as they now had more expertise and the necessary know playing on a wet and slippery pitch.
On Tuesdays training there had also been slight rain and they had all continued to train with the ball and run around as they tried to acclimatise with the conditions while the coach gave them instructions.
The other players on the academy team had been with the academy or another academy for a minimum of a year, while some had even been in the academy for over 5 years already.
They already had experiences playing under the rain and wet surfaces and had no need to specifically train for it anymore.
On Wednesday while Tony and his group were training in the morning, the match squad that was chosen had gone to face Everton in the FA Cup competition and won 2:1 in an away match.
Coach Taylor had come to watch them for a while and informed them that they were to continue training at the small pitch as none of them had been included in the match squad to go face Everton away.
After Wednesdays training the Fitness Coach informed them that they were done with the training and they could go join their teammates in normal training From Thursdays training.
