130 - What's the first team? (Part 10)
The clock was ticking slowly for Team-B, but for Team-A, the minutes seemed to evaporate.
Team-A pressed as hard as ever, trying to avoid the defeat that was looming. Jimenez's shouts from midfield left no doubt: they were playing for pride now.
"Come on, team! We've still got it! Squeeze it!" coach Jimenez shouted.
Lucas felt his heart hammering in his chest, but he remained focused. He knew that Team-B had gained the upper hand on the scoreboard and psychologically, but any slip-up could turn the tide.
Each player knew that this was more than just a friendly. It was a test to determine who would may play in the major leagues for Brighton.
Denis, Miguel, Raphael and Arthur formed a solid block around Lucas, supporting and protecting the play. The rapport between them was clear. Meanwhile, behind him were Felix, Daniel, Luiz, Loki, Aidan and Anton. It was a very well-integrated team, even with only a month's training.
