Second Match (Hat-Trick)
Sunny did as he was told, he left the training room together with Emmy and took his shower, and they had their dinner.
Swallowing the noodles in his mouth, Emmy glanced at Sunny and asked.
"You, what profession do you apply for."
"I wasn't given the opportunity to attend a school so I haven't apply for any."
He replied putting a spoon full of noodles in his mouth.
"Sorry for that, which one you would've gone into if you're given the opportunity."
Emmy asked, earlier in the café Miss Sofia had told him to ask the boy what profession he's good at or the talent he had.
"I would go into entertainment, the music industry."
Emmy stared at him for a few moment, surprised.
"Music? But you don't look like a person who's into entertainment. With your cold and aloof face you're more fitted into martial art."
Emmy couldn't imagine someone like this in the music industry.
"I guess the street made me this way, I'm actually a talented music artiste, I don't even need to go to a music school before getting fame."
Sunny boosted.
"So you mean if you got into a studio today, a single cough from you can take you to stardom."
Emmy said jokingly.
"Yeah."

Two days later, Emmy sat on a long sleek alloy bench with the rest of his teammates in a small room, the coach stood at the front addressing them with a white board behind him and a writing tool.
"Okay, I've gone through the tactics Emmy gave us, I've analyzed it myself and put it in a more orderly manner, so I think there's no harm in using the tactics today."
The coach said.
They're currently in the changing room assigned to them in the stadium, a match is going on already and after the match ended it would be their turn to enter the field with Azure Waves so the coach is using the next few minutes to explain the plan for them.
Of course, he had done this before getting to the stadium, he had already tell them about the tactics, explained how it would work for them and their formation but the coach enjoy saying things over and over again, especially when it comes to his players.
"So I'll explain the tactics again."
He said as he illustrates eleven figures on the board, the figures were arranged in 4-4-2 formation.
"The two strikers would be Emmy and Barry not Joe again, Kai with Joe will support the midfielders and the defenders stay the same with keeper. I think you already know this.
The key to avoid defeat lies in the midfielders' and the keeper's hand while the key to victory lies in strikers and midfielders' hand. Waris, I want you to do your work diligently, Kai will support you with his ability while Joe will help you with his skills."
"I want you all to pressure them at the beginning of the match, whether they had the first pass or you people have it, put a lot pressure on them and not give them any chance to showcase their skills. That's all I have to say."
"We won't fall your hand sir."
They replied in unison.

The match between United Squad and Azure Waves begin immediately after the ongoing match ended, which was between Future Star United and Dominion FC, the final result was 1-1. Another match between Young Starlet and Golden Griffin also took place in the second field which ended with 3 to 0 goals, Young Starlet took the lead.
United Squad vs. Azure Waves and Starlight Legion vs. Lux City would be taking place simultaneously.
As the two team got into their respective formation, Emmy received a message from his system.
He hesitated before checking it, he didn't want to make the same mistake he did in the last match so he split his focus on the field and the system message.

A large grin could be seen on his face as the match begin. Their opponent had the first pass so Emmy and Barry charged in.
{Azure Waves go with the 4-3-3 formation while their opponent seems to have changed their former formation now going with 4-4-2 focusing on solid defense and Attacking numbers. Let's see the outcome of this match}
The striker passed the ball down to the defenders which was then played among the four defenders in a trapezoid motion, Emmy and Barry got into play as they received information from their midfielder, they attack the defenders from all sides moving in between their formation.
Barry moves like a bullet but still was unable to get the ball while Emmy calmly observes the defenders playing method and at the same time, getting information from their midfielder, Waris.
As one of the defenders turned to pass the ball back to the keeper, Emmy appeared behind him, gained the ball and burst off heading straight to the goalpost and then....
Goal!!!!!
{Wow, that was an incredible calculated move from the United Squad striker, he made it look so easy}
{This is just the 7th minutes, now let's see how the match goes}
The commentators exclaim.
The first goal occured in less than 8 minutes, it was a lucky goal for Emmy, everyone else thought his move was an incredible calculated one but it's not. Although, calculated but not incredible.
The information they're getting from Waris is not really helping, the keeper would have to pass the information to Waris before passing it to others and thus, it's getting to them late so it's not really helping.
Emmy knowing this faster than others, he quickly disregard the thought of depending on this tactics to win 36 Lions, it would've been better if the information is coming directly from the keeper.
Harm with this knowledge, Emmy activated Eagle Sight skill and focused it on the ball, that's why he was able to predict where the ball will move to and thus appeared before it and score the first goal.
He had discovered another way of using Eagle Sight skill on the field.
The next few minutes was an affair of a scuffle on the field, Azure Waves are finding it hard to hold the ball long enough to make any impact, their playing style has turned desperate, they lost their first match and they're trying not to lose this one also. Doing their best to defend another goal and at the same time trying to create an opening to score against their opponent.
They're disorganized which gave their opponent the upper hand, two more goals occurred before first half ended, one more came from Emmy while Barry score the second goal making it 3-0 in the first half.
A ten minutes break was given before the next half.
The break move like a blink of an eye and the second half began.
United Squad had the pass this time around, a few substitution was made in both team, Emmy had already shared his discovery on their tactics flaw to everyone so the coach made two substitution in second half. Waris and a very tall boy among the defenders were removed.
As the referee blew his whistle, Emmy pass the ball to Barry who move it around a few time before tossing it to Kai.
Their opponent charged forward, one of the three strikers rushed towards Kai to get the ball from him but he simply turned around and pass it to the nearest midfielder.
The match continue with thick aroma of tension rising from the field, another goal entered in the 78th minutes but the goal came from Azure Waves, they finally managed to score one goal after a foul was committed by their opponent keeper leading to a penalty.
But Emmy also returned the favor for them in the 89th minutes, one of their midfielders committed a foul which lead to a free kick, Emmy took the free kick using his football skill that he don't quite understand its meaning.
[David Beckham Cross]
Nothing happened when he activated the skill but after kicking the ball, it moves in an arc motion, flew past the five players in the free kick wall head and then curved like a banana before entering the post.
Everyone's mouth was left wide opened in awe that they forgot to shout..
!!!GOAL!!!
{Huh, did that kid really made that cross}
The commentator said.
Even the 36 Lions players who always seem uninterested in everything were surprised.
{That's a super incredible goal from the United Squad striker, Emmy Krane. He scored an Hat trick}
