Max saving his team from a certain goal.
Last Saturday Max had a football (soccer) tournament in which he played goalkeeper throughtout the match. He made some good saves and I was very happy to watch him play. The tournament was between Swieqi United and Rabat Ajax and there were matches between groups of different ages all over the full-size pitch. Max is 8 years old so his team mates and opponents were of the same age and their game was 7-a-side instead of 11-a-side.
Story - Max had been with Luxol FC for at least three years. Throughout these years he seemed to have no ambition for football and didn’t make any improvement in his soccer skills. Eventually I lost hope of seeing him play good football. This year, his dad decided to change clubs for him and he is now with Swieqi United. I was almost forced to accompany his mum to go and watch him play this time but I was surprised to see him play so well for his new club and he was the only player from his team who was not substituted during the match. Now my enthusiasm to see him play football has returned.
Many thanks for your views, comments and fav's - much appreciated.
