11. Gods of the Pitch

 

A month passes. As the month goes by, his strength and speed start improving drastically, and he becomes almost unstoppable on the field.

 

During this period of his life, he gets to pay a visit to the most famous players on the planet. He learns valuable techniques and insights from these legends, who share their experiences and training regimens. Inspired by their dedication and skill, he pushes himself even harder, determined to reach new heights in his own game.

 

"Salah, how are you feeling? I guess you did not make it to the final," says Caos, who chose to visit Salah while looking at him as if he were a primordial god looking at his prey.

 

"Mate. You got me there. You oftentimes can be a nuisance," says Salah, somewhat annoyed at Caos's comment. "Still, I appreciate you checking in," Salah added, forcing a smile as he shifted the focus away from his disappointment. Caos chuckled, "Well, let's make the most of our time together; I hear there's a great place nearby for some legendary kebabs."

 

In one of his matches against Liverpool, Caos scored 3 goals, opening the score through a Trivela Free Kick from 34 meters of distance to the goal. In the second half, he performed an elastico chop to pass Salah, making it the second of the match.

 

"Legends are made on the field. Chaos built me from the ashes of eternity, as I stand steady before simple mortals," says Chaos, looking at Anfield full of awe and wonder.

 

His last goal was a penalty. Well, this penalty was out of this world: Backflip Penalty. The backflip penalty is an audacious penalty kick where the player executes a backflip while striking the ball with their instep, aiming to score with power and precision. The backflip adds a dramatic flair, disorienting the goalkeeper with its unpredictability and showmanship. The ball is struck mid-flip, using the momentum of the rotation to generate power, similar to a bicycle kick but performed from a stationary penalty position.

 

"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Nothing is as flawless as your imagination. Because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, and fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Ideas can inspire movements, ignite passions, and transcend the limitations of the physical world. In that fleeting moment of creativity, one can achieve the extraordinary, leaving a lasting impression long after the game is over." Says Chaos.

 

"Bloody hell. The most unfair thing about a match is the way it ends. I mean, football is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A critique! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, and you go to work," says Salah while looking at Caos celebrating.

 

After having that flashback, he readies himself to train with Salah.
