Chapter 65: A Turning Point

After a few lackluster performances, Matthew found himself on the bench, watching his teammates take on their opponents. He was determined to prove himself, but as he waited for his chance, he couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration.

Finally, in the 69th minute, Alex called his name, and Matthew sprang into action, ready to make an impact. As he ran onto the pitch, the commentators' voices echoed through the stadium.

"And here comes Matthew, the star player who's lost his spark! Let's see if he can turn things around... or make a disastrous performance even worse! He's got a lot to prove, folks!"

Matthew tried to ignore them, but their words stung. He knew he had to prove them wrong, and he was determined to do just that. As he took his position on the field, the opposing team's fans began to taunt him, sensing his vulnerability.

"You're finished, Matthew! You'll never score again! You're a shadow of your former self!"
