As usual, at
the end of the match, Nasri told us that we were a bunch of assholes. Then he
grabbed his stuff and left, mad for the 3 goals PCO had stuck in our field.
The effects of
my recent habit of smoking cigarettes appeared 8 minutes after the beginning of
the game. Our rivals were ahead on the score by 2 goals, but I really was
trying to cloak my growing fatigue.
At the crowd
side, I saw Perita. He was ready to play. Perita had left the company four
years ago, when I was not a member of it, and came back last year. His purpose of
his being in Lima is to get a master degree. I thought: Neither of Minas’ players is going to left his position in favor of
Perita. There’s too much selfishness. We don’t have a person who can watch objectively the game and decide who
is playing bad in order to be replaced; that is, we don’t have a couch. Perita is a good friend and a good fulbito
player. He deserves to play this match. Get
ready, Perita, the last 15 minutes are yours.
The third goal
was a straight bad ass kick shot from almost the middle of the field. Deyvis,
our goalkeeper, couldn’t do shit about that. He couldn’t do shit in the two
first goals either. Nasri, who was playing off his position at the back, left
holes which were the paths that our rival used for shooting their two first
goals.
Despite
knowing that those two goals were his fault, Nasri motherfuckingly scolded
Deyvis, blaming him for those goals. You should have cut that move, he yelled
at Deyvis. You must have shorten the area. Deyvis, recalling his "feng shui" lessons, calmed down and avoided to kick Nasri’s ass.
What a motherfucker, whispered angrily. He fucks up the game but blames me.
The first half
of the match had us as losers. PCO was up by 3 goals. We just scored one. I
left the field and told Perita to replace me. At half of the second half,
Quecher appeared to defeat PCO’s goalkeeper. The match was intense and the
crowd was pleased to see this ferocious battle. Nasri stopped complaining and
moaning like a motherfucker. Apparently, he realized that his fits of rage made
no good to the team mood and way of playing.
The last 8
minutes of the game belonged to Minas. They played nicely, passing the ball
accurately and rapidly. PCO seemed to crumble by this sudden turn of events. Of
course, every time Minas failed a goal action, there was Manolitro to stop PCO’s
attackers. And if Manolitro were to be left behind there were Deyvis to put an
end to the danger. Deyvis was fearless and didn’t care to break one or two bones of his opponents as long as to keep his "arco" unbeaten.
Two minutes
before the end of the game, Minas starts developing a series of short and fast
passes that end in the rival goalkeeper’s area. The ball goes directly to Nasri’s
feet. He has the "arco" all for himself but sends the ball up to the Orion
constellation. It was Mina’s last chance to draw the game. We were playing hard
and Nasri ends up fucking our efforts. But nobody says a word. They respect
Nasri or are afraid of receiving a kick ass reprimand from him in front of
everybody at the field.
Now, two days
after the game, the team is in good mood. We know we have to win these next three
and last games if we want to be in “octavos de final”. Centucho, the team film
maker and “practicante”, that is "the new guy" in the office, the freshman, always tries to create happiness
whenever he sees his colleagues oppressed by work load. So, he says: guys, are you ready to beat my ass one more
time?
