the preasure taker

His team is one goal up, but they one man down. It was Thomas Varmelan who committed the sin.

Fifteen minutes left on the clock, but a lot can happen in those quarters of hour, especially when you are limping. He knows it. The rival team knows it. But now, he is the one behind the gun. Right before the eleven meters white spot he stands. One bullet. One chance only. Can he kill it, or will he give the enemy a chance to avenge? His team destiny lies on his foot. The pressure is on. This is the ultimate answer to the question… Is he worth the ban of the captain?

Gently he puts the ball on the white spot. Sweats come running through his face, yet he is showing no weariness. For you who think scoring from penalty spot is an easy matter, think again. This young man, this 22th year old Spanish, the golden boy from Catalan, has the weight of the whole team and the whole fans on his shoulder. The fierce of confidence slashing through his eyes as he pulls a deep breathe and run toward the ball. At this moment the atmosphere in the stadium becomes suddenly quiet. The cheering have stop as everyone holding their breath.

But a moment later, the emirates stadium exploded with cheers. The keeper has completely missed judged way of the ball, as Cecs Fabregas struck it into the middle-left of the goalpost.

2-0. it’s pretty much a game over. The young boy has done it again. He wasn’t just scoring the penalty; he was also set his team spirit on fire.

There are so many great players in the world. But only few who can really take the pressure of eleven meters spot.
