YM778.TV Chapter 298 He's Back!
Unique FC ended up in fifth Place at the end of match day seven as Lesica United defeated Zilo FC three goals to one.
Everyone was expecting it and it happened but now, Unique FC had a chance to climb to third place because getting to second place was impossible to get to second place as Dynamo FC climbed to the first spot after defeating Lave City earlier during the day and now Supreme United were in second place with nine points and one match in hand, they were going to be facing Black Roz FC on Sunday match day ten and according to form, that match was a sure victory for them.
Unique FC had to defeat Lesica United tonight to climb to third place and have Lesica drop to a lower spot on the table.
It wasn\'t going to be easy by any means but they had the home advantage and had Dave Richards back in the squad.
Lesica United were currently in third place so to get that third spot, they had to beat them.
Lesica United has been in a wonderful form since the start of the season compared to how they started last season and Okafor sure has been banging in a lot of goals, he was in the golden boot race alongside Roland Hills, Frank James, and Mateo Smith who had scored in three consecutive matches and looking forward to extending that streak tonight.
Both teams were already warming up on the pitch and the Wondanimo stadium sure looked lively with fans from both teams occupying almost all the seats in the stands.
"It sure feels good to be back for another match," Dave said as he ran laps around the pitch alongside Mateo.
"Yeah, I know that feeling," Mateo said. "I didn\'t get to play against Lesica United during the last match which was the last match of the season, so I\'m quite excited to be part of this one."
After running laps, they did some stretches which were supervised by one of the coaching staff before they moved to practice with the ball.
Dave quickly got in between the sticks as Mateo quickly picked up one of the balls and dropped it about twenty-five yards away from the goalpost.
Mateo took two steps backward before he sent the ball flying toward the goalpost with just a little touch.
The ball was sent flying toward the top left-hand corner and all that was required for Dave to get to it and tip it over the bar was a run that looked quite effortless even though it wasn\'t all that.
The pre-match warm-up continued until the players were told to head down the tunnel and get ready for the match which would be kicking off soon.
"Alright, boys, I have already told you everything that I have to tell you, just go out there and do your best, we defeated them last time, and we can do it again," Norman said after the players got ready and were about to start heading out to the pitch.
They were putting on their usual home jersey while Lesica United were putting on their first away jersey which was black with three curved blue lines on the side for the shirt, the short was just plain black.
The players waited in the tunnel for a while before they were given the signal to start making their way to the pitch.
The fans cheered and cheered as they made their way to the pitch.
"Welcome to our viewers from all around the world, it\'s your regular commentator Jim Waterson and joining me in the studio as always is my regular co-commentator, Mr. Steve Jefferson." Jim expressed as the players made their way to the pitch.
"Welcome everyone, it\'s back to be back here to witness and talk about another match alongside my colleague here," Steve said.
"This is an interesting match up here tonight, Unique FC versus Lesica United," Jim said. "If Lesica United wins this match, they will move to second place on level points with Dynamo FC but if Unique FC wins, they\'ll move to third place and Lesica United will drop to fourth.
"A draw won\'t have any effect on both teams as they will still be in their respective positions for tonight at least."
Norman was still going with his four-three-three C formation which meant that Martinez was in the match as a defensive midfielder.
Dave was starting in the goalpost as the goalkeeper, Luis Roberto was starting in right back, Adolf and Pirlo were the center backs and Roland was the left back as expected.
Martinez was in the defensive midfield position, and the attacking midfielders were Minino and Ferran, Ferran on the left side, and Minino on the right.
The attack was led by Carlos on the right, Fredinho in the striking position, and Mateo on the left.
Lesica United were just going with the regular four-three-three formation with three central midfielders but roles can change during a match.
"Lesica United has been the better team so far in terms of form, but they haven\'t really faced a tough team so far this season and Unique FC almost got a draw against Dynamo FC," Jim said.
"You\'re right, Jim, this match could go either way, but I think things are going to be easy for Lesica United now that Unique FC\'s number one is back," Steve said.
The coin toss was won by Lesica United\'s captain, and as always they chose the goalpost on the right and were going to be the ones to start the match from the kick-off spot.
"I hope things go our way tonight," Dave muttered as he made his way to his goalpost.
<Calm down, everything\'s going to be alright>
\'I hope so.\' The goalkeeper replied as he stepped on his goal line and slowly turned to face the pitch.

\'Another conjoined quest, huh.\'
Okafor was standing over the ball waiting for the referee\'s whistle and as soon as he heard it, he quickly pushed the ball back to his teammate.
"There\'s the whistle and we are on the way," Jim said.
Lesica United passed the ball around in their own half near the forty yards line as they were looking for a way to start an attack.
"You can tell the home fans are quite happy to have Dave back in between the sticks just listen to the way they\'re all chanting his name," Jim said.
"They used to criticize him but he\'s now their hero, how fast things changed," Steve said.
Okafor quickly got past Fredinho with a roulette spin before he sent the ball to Jonathan who pushed his way past Minino on the left to create enough space for him to run down the wing.
Of course, Luis Roberto was there to stop so before he could get to him, he quickly pushed the ball back to the central midfielder who sent it rolling toward Okafor with a single touch.
"Lesica United are looking to start an attack here."
Okafor got past Martinez with a neat body faint and without hesitation, he fired the ball toward the goalpost from twenty-five yards out.
"Okafor!"
The ball was sent flying toward the top right-hand corner of the goalpost, but Dave was right there to send it over the bar with both of his gloves.
"Oh, what a save from Dave!"
The home fans started chanting the name of the goalkeeper as soon as he made that save, everyone was hyping him up including his teammates who were around him inside the box now.
"Unique FC\'s fortress is back, he\'s back!"
