CHAPTER 7: BRAZIL VS VENEZUELA

Harry and his teammates are having the training that day as they will face Venezuela in 3 days. They need to win that match if they want to qualify to the quarter-final of the Copa America. After training's over, all players returned to their hotel room. Later, Harry gets a FaceTime request from Kay Lee.

Harry: Hi, big sister.

Kay Lee: Hi, boy. How you're doing?

Harry: I'm good. What about you?

Kay Lee: Never better. Congratulation on beating Bolivia. It seems Brazil don't really need Neymar. He can retired from Brazil national squad.

Harry: Well, I still had a long way to go compared to Neymar though.

Kay Lee: Well, at least you're not a diver like him.

Harry: Hahaha. Really funny, Kay. So, where are you by the way?

Kay Lee: I'm at the PC. Just done with some training.

Harry: I see. Did Toni Storm with you?

Kay Lee: Oh, she just left. Why, did you like her or something?

Harry: Well, no offence to you, sis but she's my favourite woman wrestler nowadays.

Kay Lee: Typical fanboy nowadays. By the way, Harry. Can I ask you something?

Harry: Sure. What is it?

Kay Lee: Don't you think you shall talk to Steffanie again? I think she wants to be back to you.

Harry: Doesn't really matter right now. Besides, what she said to me 3 years ago insulting me very much.

Kay Lee: C'mon, Harry. It's already 3 years since then. Just give her a chance. Like you gave me to return to your live.

Harry: It's different, Kay. Unlike her, you're my sister. Besides, we're never being in a really bad term though. But her, she ain't a family. So, it's not really my problem.

Kay Lee: Look, sweetheart. I knew how do you feel but can you please give her a chance to talk? You won't lose anything.

Harry: Like I said before, I'll think about it after Copa America is over but just because you asked for it.

Kay Lee: Fair enough. By the way, I need to go now. Good luck against Venezuela.

Harry: Thanks, sis. I love you.

Kay Lee: I love you too.

Then, they hung up.

Next day;

Harry and his friends are training as usual.

"So, Harry. Do you think you'll stay in St. Mirren since there's a rumour that now many clubs are having an eye on you?" asked Paqueta during their cooling down session.

"Well, I don't know just yet. If there is any good offers, I might accept it", said Harry.

"I see. I think you may get at least one transfer offer from the big club after Copa America is over", said Dani Alves.

"Well, I'll worry about it later but right now, I'll focus in this tournament. I'm here to replace Neymar after all. Who knows if I'll ever get such chance again", said Harry.

"That's wise. We have plenty football talents after all here in Brazil", said Alisson. Then, after done cooling down, they returned to the hotel.

Few days later;

All Brazil players arrived Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova, Salvador for the 2nd match against Venezuela. After changing to the training kits, all players make their way to the pitch for warming up session.

"There's quite many peoples coming here today", said Harry.

"Of course there is. They wanted to see this new national striker that scored hattrick in his debut in Copa America", said Firmino.

"Oh, c'mon. That was just a beginner's luck. Who knows if that might happened today or not", said Harry.

"Be confident a bit in your ability", said Richarlison. Harry just nodded. Later, the players returned to the dressing room and changed into the match kits. Later Tite came in.

"Okay, boys. This is our line-up for today. Alisson (GK), Dani Alves, Eder Militao, Marquinhos, Renan Lodi (DF) Arthur Melo, Felipe Anderson, Paquetá (MF) Richarlison, Rae, and Coutinho (FW). If we win, it means we already qualified for the quarter-final of Copa America. So, play well. Understand?" asked Tite.

"Yes, coach", said all players. Later, all of them leaving the dressing room.

Meanwhile at a hotel in UK;

Kay Lee is watching the match with Toni Storm and Tegan Nox.

"Seriously, Kay. How come your brother played with a club that nearly get suspended when he is this good?" asked Toni.

"Well, he started to play football again just about 3 years ago after all. He first signed with a Brazilian Serie B first that time before St. Mirren management brought him to Europe last year's summer. So, in other words, his career just get restarted", said Kay Lee.

"What a tough way he's been through to get back to be a professional football player. You might be so proud of it", said Toni.

"Of course I'm proud of him. You know what, last year on Christmas, he told me how hard is it that he had been through alone. I was quite far away those time. That's why everytime he played at home, I'll make sure I'll be there for him. I even go to awayday sometimes just to watch him played", said Kay Lee.

"I see. Hey, Steff. Are you okay?" asked Toni.

"I'm fine. It just that I'm so regret leaving him alone before when he needed a support. To be honest, if he commited suicide that time, it will be my fault", said Tegan.

"Hey, don't say such thing. Harry Rae is not that weak. He is my brother after all", said Kay Lee.

"Sorry, Kay. I knew it. But I wished that he can forgives me for what I did that time", said Tegan.

"I'm sure he will but it will take times", said Toni. Tegan just nodded.

Half time;

Harry and all his teammates took a break at the dressing room.

"You know what. I think I'm too old to take a short range freekick", said Dani Alves.

"No, you're not. You still have it in you", said Alisson.

"That's true", said Firmino.

"Well, but our rookie here can do it too, right. Why don't we let him do it permanently? It's good to have a fresh talent do it instead of old man like me", said Alves while pointing to Harry.

"Me? Are you sure you want to trust me that much? I just joined the national team after all", said Harry.

"Doesn't matter how long you had joined the squad. You're good player and everybody can see that", said Tite that suddenly came in.

"See? Even our coach agreed. C'mon, Harry. We all believe in you", said Alisson.

"Fine, I'll do it. But don't expect much from me", said Harry.

Later on;

The match restarted with Brazil kicked off the match.

87th minutes of the match;

Brazil was awarded a free kick 21-metres from the goal.

"Now, Harry. Go and do your stuff", said Dani Alves. Harry just nodded. He then checked around before decided what to do.

"Maybe I shall do 'that' again", said Harry. Then, after the referee blew his whistle, Harry kicks the ball with a low shot. The ball passed it through the bottom of Venezuelan's wall.  Then, Farìñez jumped to catch the ball but he failed to catch the ball as the ball make it into net for Harry to complete his hattrick in the match.

"Told you that you're good. It seems like Ronaldinho had transfer his brain to you", said Alves when celebrating the goal.

"Well, I still have long way to go before I can be like him", said Harry.

"Then, we will drag it out from you until you win Ballon D'Or", said Alves. Few minutes later, the referee blew his whistle signalling the full time. All players celebrating the success of making it to the quarter-final.
