Bab 6: Youtube and first soccer match
It has been around 2 weeks since I had my 11th birthday. I am pretty happy the whole time now as I have gotten a laptop. It is an ASUS W5A. With it I have noticed quite a few interesting websites like Google, it seems that it is called a browser. Youtube is a website, where you can download videos of yourself. At first, I was scared as it looked like a website from which you can get a virus, but after repeated confirmation of my anti-virus, I was more relaxed. At last, there is a website called Facebook, which is the same as Youtube, but you can write posts and pictures, and you can too upload videos, but Youtube is way better in terms of that.
I looked at the Youtube website. It had only one video. "Me at the Zoo", the website seemed very interesting, due to this I have bookmarked it.
Today I have a soccer match in middle school. I was "scouted" in my first week by the coach, as I was pretty tall for my age. He wanted me to play as a goalkeeper. To which I gladly agreed. I always liked soccer. I learned pretty fast to be a goalkeeper and I was good at it. I had the most important things for a goalkeeper. I was tall. I had great reflexes and I knew when I should stand somewhere. For example, when I should be running towards the striker who attacks me.
At first, I only played as a substitute, but that quickly changed as the other goalkeeper suddenly quit the club.
After that, we didn't have any matches, due to winter break. I didn't know why. It didn't even snow in California.
But today is my first real match as a goalkeeper. I was very nervous, but luckily I had support.
I glanced at the left side of the stadium and saw the Dunphy family cheering me on before the match. I smiled.
We played for 70 minutes. 35 minutes in the first half and 35 in the second half. The field was 40 to 55 yards wide and 85 to 100 yards long.(1 yard is 0,91 meters, due to this it's pretty much the same)
For the first few minutes of the game, no ball came near my goal, as we had a good defense.
But I didn't relax. Somebody from the other side tried to shoot from a far distance, but I had no problem catching my ball, due to my height.
After around the 7th minute we got the lead. Our 8 played the ball to our Rm, who send a forward pass to our fast striker. He then ran towards the goalkeeper and easily shot the ball into the goal. Luckily the ball was in. We had many such scenes, but our players want to score a goal themselves all the time.
In the 14th minute. After a corner kick off my team, the opposite team counterattacked. I was mad. Mad at my Team. I shouted at them to leave two or three guys at the defensive end to prepare for a counterattack, but nobody listened. All wanted to score a goal. Now. Due to these idiots. A 1 vs 1 was formed between me and the opposite striker. I was in an awkward position as the striker, who was already a bit after the middle circle didn't allow me to run towards him anytime soon as I would get lobbed. I needed to wait for the striker to either pass the ball forward to himself again and pass a bit too far. If that happens I could run out and clear the ball. The second option would be staying in the penalty area and waiting for the striker to shoot or pass me. I was standing around penalty point and in a zone where, if he lobbed me I could easily catch the ball and if he tried something other I could run out.
The striker was good, he didnt make any mistakes. He ran towards the penalty area and I who stepped a bit towards my own goal before adjusting my position, ran out. Then it happened. The striker wanted to pass himself the ball one last time but only passed it a bit forward. But that was his mistake. He probably thought I was slow, but I wasn't. He was faster than me due to the speed he already built. But the ball was already in the penalty area now. The striker would have easily gotten the ball if the ball wasn't in there because now I could use everything I had.
I jumped towards the ball and saved it with my hands, just in a fraction of a second the shooter was already there. He tried to take the ball from my hands and succeded. He shot the ball and it was in the goal. But the goal wasn't valid as I already had the ball safely in my arms. As I expected, the referee whistled and signaled an offensive foul.
This save was a mix between luck and skill. But luck is part of strength, isn't it?
The whole team celebrated like I made a goal. It was a nice feeling.
After that, it seemed that the defenders listened a bit better to my advice. Due to that, we stopped another counterattack. Our CAM shot from the penalty area and made a goal. Another goal was made by our Rm, who got a good pass from our striker.
After that it was already halftime, we drank and discussed a bit and went on the field again.
Our opponents seemed pretty listless and didn't shoot any good shots at my goals. The only good chance of them was an attack by their striker. This time the defender helped me and used his body. Due to that, the striker couldn't shoot as he needed to handle the defender and the ball missed my goal.
After the game, we celebrated with the team. I was happy. My first game and my first clean sheet.
After the team celebration, I celebrated with the Dunphys.
It was a happy day.

I don't know about Twitch. It was founded in 2011. The sitcom starts in 2009. It would be a while into the plot.
Here are a few options:
-The mc creates twitch
-Twitch is already created
-Twitch will be created as in our world
-Mc won't use twitch
Similar with Youtube. Youtube got popular in the summer of 2006.
-Should I advance the date
-Should I just use the normal date and wait a bit
Another question:
Should the mc be rich? Should I show how I make him rich or just say it casually?
The last question:
He will probably sing on Youtube as you couldn't game that much at that time and I would rather game on Twitch then. Should he sing?

burakku It is the first soccer match of the mc. I hope I wrote it well enough. I will call football soccer as the show plays in USA. I don't think I will make him a professional as he wouldn't have time for the plot and everything. He would eventually leave the US and join a European club. I would just make it his hobby.
