He felt so heavy making that long walk. If he missed, it was all over. He picked up the ball, trying to maintain his composure.

The ball was on the spot. 'alright, top left' he thought to himself. He looked up toward the keeper. The whistle blew.

'He knows!' He suddenly thought to himself as he was about to kick the ball. In that split second, he decided to put more power on the shot.

He heard it rattle against the cross bar. It missed. He fell to his knees, as the other team glided past him.
