The second half started and the only instruction the coach gave them was not to rush and to watch the game very carefully. And that's what Fernadez did. And began to understand what the coach meant. It seems that the others are also beginning to understand.

When the high school O team members are united to fight against Carlos, Luis and Daniel, through some experiences he did, Fernandez had therefore determined that the high school O players focused more on them and did not think too much about the position of the other members of the Lycée N team. So, in some places, there was space. So, he continued to use Carlos and the other attackers as cover and used the space they created.

The other players are good but they are not as fast as the forwards. But this way of playing began to pay off since now they manage to put in a few shots which was not the case in the first period.

- I see that the situation is beginning to reverse itself little by little.

- Of course, the players are starting to shoot a lot more but they are a bit unlucky on some actions.

- I must say that, this way of playing is brilliant.

- Yes, very brilliant, using attackers as cover and passing to other players to try to unblock the situation.

- Now that there are more players to watch, the question is, what will the coach of lycée O do?

There are only ten minutes left, and the game is about to end.

Just then, Carlos received a pass from his teammate. Everyone thought he was going to continue to dribble the ball in the restricted area of ​​Lycée O, but he did the opposite. He gave a back pass on Fernandez who was not too far from him, in the 25 meters he placed a nice curled shot which left the goalkeeper without reaction.

Goalllll

- Finally, the first goal of the match arrived.

- Yes, and it is a very nice collective goal.

Fernandez was very happy and the audience was clapping and shouting loudly too. The players of the opposing team were very disappointed. They lasted almost 80 minutes without scoring a goal and then conceded one, almost at the end of the match.

- It seems that the lycée N was just waiting for the right moment to score.

- They were patient, read the game, and used the cover their attackers gave them wisely.

- As you said so well Zack, it was a collective goal.

The team finally scored, even if in this game Ravier did not show much of his talent but he was still happy. And it is on this score that the match ends.

- It's the end.

- Yes, this is the end. And it was in great pain that the team snatched away this Victory.

- There is not much to say about this game.

- Not really Nick. It was not a very nice match but we can also admire the talent of these players. Despite the fact that they did not win with a big score, they still managed to turn the situation around.

- Well, we thank the spectators and sponsors. It was Zack and Nick with you for the comments, so we say goodbye, and see you next time.

On the field, they celebrated for more than a minute, then they greeted the public and their opponents, then went into the changing rooms to change. They will take the bus home. The quarter-finals will be played in 5 days. The next is off. Ravier and the other players took the opportunity to regain their strength. They also took the opportunity to go see the other matches that were played. R, Y and S high schools won their respective matches. They discovered that their next opponents will be Lycée R.

A few days later the quarter-finals were played. There were even more spectators than usual. There were also scouts present in the stadium. At 3:00 p.m., with a whistle from the referee, the first round of the quarter-finals of the match between high school R and N officially began.

- Good evening, everyone here with you, your faithful commentators Nick and Zack.

- Good evening, Nick and good evening, dear spectators.

- Today is the quarter-finals between high school R and N.

- Sure, you remember, the last game of high school N was not too easy.

- Yes, and I hope that today they will present us with a different spectacle.

- They have every interest since there are quite a few scouts present.

We are already in the fifth minute of the match and there is already one shot from each lycée.

At this time, high school R was leading an attack. Wendy their midfielder received the ball, made a pass to the central defender who was following him. He takes a few steps with the ball then gives it the pass again. After receiving the ball, Wendy dodged Carlos who rushed to take the ball from him.

Then, without waiting for a second player from the opposition to arrive and catch the ball, he directly returned the ball to Demetrio their star striker with a single kick, and he immediately began to rush towards the penalty area with the ball.

Behind, and on both sides, three teammates rushed to respond to his pass and tried to score a goal. But he did the opposite and did not pass the ball. Instead, after receiving the ball, he rushed into the penalty box of Lycée N.

When Demetrio has dribbled the ball, nobody thinks he can really break through the whole line of defense.

But he passed a defender easily with a bicycle, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the stands.

- Ah!! Zack did you see that?

- Yes, it is not surprising on his part, he is used to doing it.

- Yes, we all know he is very good with the ball.

Seeing that he passed his captain with an action like that, the right-back Jim rushed in to try and stop him. However, it was a bit too late for that. Demetrio had already landed a very powerful shot.

Ravier had followed the evolution of the player as soon as he had the ball. The coach had spoken to them about this player. Seeing him like this, dribbling all the defensive players, He was not at all worried. When he kicked the ball, he got into position, jumping up and pushing the ball away with both hands. It was a heavy, powerful strike. The spectators cried out when they saw that he rejected the certain goal.

- Another inextremis rescue from Ravier.

- Yes, he is always present on all important balls.

- It should also be noted that in this competition he is the only goalkeeper not to have yet conceded a goal.
