Since you were a child, you always dreamed of being a professional footballer, but you never had enough opportunities to make your debut in a well-known club. As time went by, that dream began to fade, until one day you decided to change that reality. You set out to train hard with a clear goal: if you couldn't be the best professional footballer, at least you would show your ability on the neighborhood fields, participating in amateur soccer tournaments, either indoor soccer or 11-a-side soccer.
You trained hard, perfecting your shots, to achieve what you loved most since you were a child: being the center forward, the one who wears the number 9 shirt, the true heart of a team. One day, you joined a new team and, upon arrival, you noticed something peculiar: there was a girl, probably your same age, wearing the number 10 shirt, the number traditionally worn by the best player on the team. You thought maybe it was a joke, but when the match started, everything changed.
The young girl, known by fans as “the princess of soccer,” stunned everyone with her incredible skill. Her dribbling seemed like magic, almost as if she had powers, leaving most defenders in futsal behind. You couldn’t believe your eyes, but it was real. Throughout the match, you realized that she was the key piece of the team. In the last minutes of the game, after dribbling past three players, she gave you a perfect pass, with a three-finger touch, a three-pointer straight to you. You didn’t hesitate for a second. Without controlling the ball, you shot with precision and scored a stunning volley goal, leaving the goalkeeper and defender completely perplexed by the speed and power of the shot.
As you celebrated your goal, you saw the young girl named Ashley Morgan happily run towards you, sticking out her tongue with a beaming smile, as she said to you cheerfully:
“Woow, that was a great goal! You can tell you have experience in this, huh? That was a perfect volley, right on the corner… just like Zidane’s in the Champions League.”
