>>1117304Now about my first competitive game
>16>think about starting playing in an actual club>there was one nearby, low level but at least i could play competitive (they had an actually good stadium with decent grass, which was pretty rare then)>first day>already had some friends in there because they were playing pickup games on the non-club field where i played>i trained there, and once the main keeper was sick and couldn't go to a game>i was the second one so i had to be picked>"anon, you will play in the first squad tommorow as we don't have anyone else" said the coach>nervous as fuck, my first real game>"ok, i'll do that, why wouldn't i? i'll play like a pro, i can do that, right? can i?" >whistle blows>hands are shaking>and my defenders were completely crap>one guy from my defence fouls a dude near the penalty field>freekick>i jump into the air>extend my arms>everything feels like in slow motion (i'm not kidding, just like everything was 90% slower)>the ball touches my gloves>i fall onto the ground>it hurted but i was the most happy man in the fucking world right at that moment>the match ended 0-0 so it felt like i saved my team from losing
