"That's it, Lucas. We'll start with the ball. Let's show off?" Raphael asked, smiling.
Lucas nodded and said: "Right, let's get into position."
Lucas took the ball forward, advancing a few steps while Raphael positioned himself further to the left, ready to support. The other players on his team began to move in a simple but well-distributed formation on the small pitch. Suddenly, someone stopped next to Lucas as he looked ahead. He looked over and saw Felix.
"Hey, kid, it's good that we're on the same team now, isn't it?"
Lucas felt Felix's gaze on him and, for a moment, almost forgot about the ball between his feet. The presence of the No. 5, one of the most intimidating players Lucas had ever played against, brought a sense of responsibility - and a certain relief that they were on the same team. He smiled, still adjusting the position of the ball.
