Capítulo 101: Debut game; debut moment of magic

'There's still time to make my mark'.

FWEEEE!

Immediately after the referee's whistle went off, restarting the game, Sam used a familiar mantra to calm his nerves as he jogged about the pitch.

For this game, he replaced Pereira as the attacking midfielder of the team while Alex Iwobi had more of a defensive midfield role.

As soon as the game restarted, with fresh legs, Fulham FC increased their intensity, dominating possession even more than before.

Entering this game, Sam was determined to do just one thing, make his mark but he didn't rush about it.

A season and a half of playing in the NPFL for Enyimba FC already taught Sam a lot of things, and one of these things was to not be rash.

He still had a vivid recollection of his first game for Enyimba FC where due to his overenthusiasm to make his mark, he cost his team a goal. Though he made amends later in the game, that moment haunted him for a long time.
