Soccer Practice

(well, here is some of Phill's strenghs and weaknesses in Soccer:

Phill is a defensive midfielder, and is the first line of defense in any team. When he is on form the defense can just take a rest as hardly anthing will get past him, with his strong heading and good upper body strengh. His passing is of "Xabi Alonso" quality, as he can pass a ball to a player 50 yards away. His main weakness is that he is pactically useless infront of goal. Phill is know for his superb leadership, he leads by example. Leading the Juventus under-16s to the Italian youth cup final and winning that 2-0, assisting the first goal.)

Phill sat on the bench in his Italy top, waiting for the rest to come, he knew Amber would come, "..where are you all?" he ask himself in frustration...

*Bored of half the team not being there, Amber was practicing kicks from penatly line. Normally she would challenge a girl from the States like she would who hadn't shown up just yet. Not even taking a look at the goal nor the ball she accidently overpowered her kick and kicked it over the goal.* "Damn, no wonder I play a striker instead more of a center position," she said when she felt a pain jerk from her toe and sweat dropped when she had remembered she kicked with her toe.

Phill ran off and fetched the ball, he controlled the ball with his left foot, then siwtched it to his right foot, looked up in Amber's position and kicked the ball, the ball hungin the air for a bit before landing a couple of inches infront of Amber, "Still got it..." he thought to himself as he ran up to her, "..ah, your here, don't worry about the lack in players...we've still got another 5 minutes before everyone else turns up..." he said with a smile...

"True," she said while kicking the ball with her left foot going in.

slowly some of the players began to arrive, someone even reconised who Phill was, the person who reconised Phill was wearing a Juventus T-shirt with the words "Del Piero" on the back with the number "10" as well, "....aren't you Filipo Massaro?" the boy asked, "...the guy who scored Juve's winner against AC Milan?" he asked before Phill could answer the first question. Phill smiled,
"Yes, I am Filipo Massaro, the same that Played for Juventus...and no I didn't score against Juventus...that was Pavel Nedved..." he corrected him,
"Oh, I'm sorry...it's just that I get you and Pavel mixed up...who did you scored against?" he asked
"ah, that was...Parma...57th minute...cross from Zambrotta...I remember it like I scored it yesterday..." he said with a smug face,
"okay...oh,. Takeshi Hamada, by the way.." he said again
"hey, nice to meet you.." Phill replied

The coach appeared in the middle of the pitch, he told everyone to gather round, Phill, Amber and Takeshi jogged in, he then told everyone to go and warm up by jogging round the pitch, Phill did so and lead the large group of players, he looked back with a sense of smugness that he could jog quicker then everyone else...
