As Liam's football career is being threatened by Oliver, he must navigate a rivalry while also protect his girlfriend Emma from harm.
I’m in the locker room, lacing up my boots.
In a few minutes, I’ll walk out, and the roar of the crowd will hit me.
I’ll be on the pitch for the most important game of my life, and I’ll be facing Oliver Smith, my biggest rival.
The man who will do anything to take what I want.
The man who has already threatened to destroy my career if I don’t back down.
But I won’t back down.
I can’t back down.
Because my dreams have been my own for too long.
And this is my chance to make them come true.
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for.
And no one is going to take it away from me.
That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.
It’s easy enough to believe when you’re alone, but when you’re confronted with the heavy stares of your teammates, and the loud sounds of a crowd just outside the door, it’s not so easy to believe.
But I have to believe it, because if not, I’ll never make it through this match.
The final match of the season is always the biggest one, because it’s more than just a game; it’s a battle between two towns that have hated each other for centuries.
The game has been scheduled on this day since before I was born, and we always knew that we’d be facing off against our rivals from the neighboring town in order to secure our place in the regional league.
But it’s not just about securing our spot; when we win, we get to choose which team will be placed in the lower division.
We’ve never lost before, and we don’t plan on losing today.
But this match is even more important than usual.
Because if we lose, I might lose everything I’ve been working towards for years.
This is supposed to be my year; I’m at the right age, and everyone knows that I’m talented enough to be scouted by a professional club.
But until now, I’ve never gotten an invitation to try out for a team.
I’m running out of time.
And if I can’t prove myself in a professional environment soon, I won’t be able to get a contract.
It would be the ruin of all my dreams.
I can’t let the pressure get to me.
I need to keep doing what I’m doing, and fight with everything I have in me.
I need to get out there and win this game.
For me, for my teammates, for my family.
Because if I can’t win this game, then everything I’ve sacrificed will have been for nothing.
The door opens, and I take a deep breath before stepping into the tunnel.
When I step out onto the pitch a moment later, the sound of the crowd hits me full-force.
And suddenly I’m there—my feet are on the grass, the sun is on my face, and I’m ready.
I walk out onto the field without flinching or looking at my competition.
