Chapter 14

Ali ran through the tracks panting as sweat dripped down his eye brows, he could barely keep himself on his feet but he pushed forward, but while running Ali tripped over a protruding grass rolling over a few times before falling face first into the grass.

Suddenly a huge shadow appeared blocking out the sun, Ali managing to raise his head to look up and a brown skinned man with white beards dressed in a deep blue training shirt in front of him his clothes showing of some contours of his muscles

" Ali you really need to lose weight or you won't really be able to play football on my team" The man said in a cold voice "if you don't lose weight you won't have a enough stamina meaning you will kicked of the team" Ali's eyes quickly dialated hearing the coaches words while sounds of laughter resounded through out the training field with a lot of them mocking him.

Ali was jolted out of his thought as he felt his body begin to fall and no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't manage to regain balance and his weight was doing nothing to help but before he could hit the ground Makinde managed to catch him making use of all his strength to stabilize him.

"Are you ok" Makinde asked to which Ali just simply nodded mumbling a thank you, as the running continued many of the players already began to give up clearly not used to this kind of training by the seventh round Ali collapsed and by the eight Makinde's leg also gave in while Park Minson finished the race along with Luke also completed the race.

After the run the next on their schedule was breakfast which was oatmeal, filled with berries and nuts. The players were divided according to their room numbers

"My muscles are so cramped" Ali said as he stuffed his mouth with another spoon full of oatmeal

"No wonder you are fat" Luke said with a sly smile while Ali's face turn red "you all don't get I need the calories from the food. You guys are all so lucky" Ali protested.

During their time together the group had formed a sort of understanding of each other and were able to get along easily. suddenly Makinde noticed a familiar face it was Hamad, his usual aloof expression on his face but as Makinde tried to hid his face by looking away Hamad turned towards him as if noticing his gaze but he only have a humph before walking away.

After breakfast the players all stood in the training center ready for the next training session and the trainers stood in front of the young players as he began addressing them.

"You all will be training through a newly and specially deviced method it will be unlike any of the trainings you have done before " The trainer said looking through the players before continuing "as you all know you have being divided into groups consisting of a goalkeeper, defender a midfielder and a forward and set up as room mates to improve your bonding rate " The trainer said

"The new vmethod is an elimination tournament where you will have to defeat your opponent in a 4 v 4 match to advance to the next stage and you will receive 3 blue lock points for every win but If your team loses the victorious team would be able to take any player they want from your team and you will lose three points . The amount of your bluelock point would determine your rank ranging from the highest S rank who gets the best of everything and have the highest chance to get noticed by big teams like real Madrid and Barcelona to the F rank who receive the least of every thing and have the lowest chances of going pro"

The trainer said looking and the young players who were chattering in excitement at the news,suddenly a young boy with a short blonde hair and green eyes raised his hands among the crowd to ask a question.

"Yes candidate 222" The instructor asked

"So what happens if a team has series of loses and there is only one player left" The boy asked

"Well if the team is left with only one player and hewill play in a 1v1 with a team that only has a single player and if he also loses his 1v1 game he would be eliminated from the camp" The trainer said and another boy raised his hands gaining courage after the first boys question, to which the trainer nodded for him to ask

"What of the teams that win their games " This time the boy had brown hair that looked very ordinary

"For the teams that wins they will gain an extra team mate and advance into another league for teams with up to five members and they will continue to advance playing against the teams with the same number of players until the number of players on their team reaches eleven.

"What happens when a team reaches eleven players"Hamad raised his hands and asked

" You will find out once you get to that bridge " The man said not answering anymore question as he turned and walked away
