Taking charge

"Sam, your team won a second straight game in the Super 6 playoffs, but we can't help but focus on the unfortunate incident that happened today".

"According to medical reports, Austin will be out for 2 months, what do you think about that? Do you think Enyimba FC has what it takes to survive without its captain on the pitch?"

Facing the male reporter, Sam took a deep breath. "First, I will like to say that Austin is the beating heart of our team and we will surely feel his absence".

"As for if we will be able to survive without our captain," he scratched his hair. "Honestly, I don't know, I'm no seer but all I can say is that we're determined to make up for his absence and make him proud in the hospital".

"That is what he would want".

"On the pitch, while he was stretchered off, he told me that we needed to win. Well, we won thanks to his blessings".

"We hope to do the same and win in his absence".
