Each team looked at the holographic display of the fixture with different expression on their face and different thought running through their head. Some had the look of a confident that they would defeat all the team present in the arena while some of them had the expression of worried on their face.

Among this set of people are United Squad as they all stare at their opponents who every member of their team stood gallant and had a nonchalant expression on their face like the tournament is provided for them.

"Coach, I'm afraid we can't defeat this people."

The captain said.

Emmy looked at him with a disappointed expression written on his face.

"A word like this coming out from the captain's mouth is a way of killing his teammates moral."

Emmy replied him.

The captain scoffed and look away in embarrassement.

"Yes Kai, you shouldn't say that. As the captain you're supposed to encourage your teammates not to kill their moral."

The Coach said.

"Although, our opponent, each of their players radiate the energy of confidence and they don't seem to care much about every team present here, they look us all like every other team here is an ant. But that might just be the ability of their Coach, to make his players as confident as ever in every situation so they could live up to their name as the 36 Lion, as you all might know that Lion will always be confident even at the verge of death.

Although, I might be wrong, but I want you all to have it in mind and believe that their confidence means nothing, it's just the ability of their coach so they could live up to their name."

The Coach try to encourage them.

"Coach what if they're really 36 Lions as they're the only team with 36 players."

Emmy asked with his eyes fixed on their opponents side.

"Well, if they decided to live up to their name and really act like Lions then all you need to do is to act like a United Ants.

36 Lions or 1 Lion stood no chance against a United Ants. So, you should also live up to your name."

They all stared at the Coach and their opponent at the same.

Live up to their name, what's their name? United Squad? Doesn't that mean all they needed to defeat their opponent is teamwork? Their teamwork needs to be perfect.

"Okay guys, let's make our teamwork as solid as ever."

The captain said after coming back to his senses.

Every players present at the tournament are all at the Rookie stage and below, none of them is above that.

The opening ceremony ended, each team was given a dorm for their players to change and discuss before the commencement of the main event.

Two matches would be played at the same time, as the first match in group A is going on in the first stadium, the first match in group B will also be taking place in the second stadium, the audience are to choose the match they wish to watch.

A few minutes after the opening ceremony ended the match begins, Future Star United and Maltese United would be playing in the first stadium while Wild Tigers and Young Starlet would be playing in the second stadium.

Some of the other teams moved to the second stadium to spectate the match with other audiences while the teams who knew their match would be taking place in the first stadium remained in the first stadium.

Emmy's team and their opponent are among them but their opponent seems to be watching the match for watching sake, they had no interest in it.

The match between Future Star and Maltese United started after the referee blew his whistle.

Future Star took the first pass.

The striker shot the ball back to the midfielders and their opponent charge in.

Emmy watch calmly as the match begin, his system recorder active as sharp as ever, this is the best place to gather enough skills to sharpen himself.

He watch as the ball moves from Future Star striker to their mid fielder and then to their defender before going to their keeper. The keeper gained the ball and calmly move it outside the box and pass to the nearest defender, the nearest defender do the same. Maltese United strikers charged forward as they noticed that their opponent won't move the ball forward.

The ball flow from one defender to another, Maltese strikers did their best to get the ball but it was to no avail, the three strikers were trapped in the middle by four defenders. Different abilities were used to get the ball but with a calculated move from the defenders, they were able to keep the ball in their possession.

And then, the first goal occured in the 6th minutes, from the start till the time the first goal was score, the ball didn't get into Maltese United possession, not even to touch any of their players. In that short minutes, the ball possession is 100% - 0%.

With Future Star having 100 while Maltese United is null.

The match continue after Maltese United had their pass but sadly, the ball didn't last long in their possession before the second goal enter and then the third goal, then fourth and fifth before the match ended.

It's not as if Maltese United didn't play well or they are not match for Future Star, it's just that Future Star teamwork and ability made them a unique team.

They didn't have any special player and every single players in their team are just as normal as their opponent, infact, they're all at the Rookie stage, only a few of them are Amateur but their teamwork and ability made them unique and thus, they obliterated their opponent with next to little sweat.
