Interception after interception. His team was falling apart into tiny little crumbs.
"Fine I'll do it myself."
Nei goes and tackles the player. Should he pass or, no he's doing it by himself. He accelerates through the pitch past 3 past 5 now the last defender.
He flicks it up about to hit a volley but...
The defender, launches his knee up hitting Nei on the head. Penalty. But something was wrong. He didn't wake up.
Lujin rushes up the whole length of the pitch. "Kid are you alright. Kid answer me!"
No response. Lujin signals for medics to come over. But nevertheless he is unresp- onsive. And Nei gets carried away by a stretcher.
Going back to the match the penalty shot goes in and the whole team starts celebrat- ing. All except from Lujin. He's devastated.
They might have won the Champions league but Lujin knows well that they couldn't have done it without the starboy.
Few days pass and Nei rests in the hospital in a coma. Only two visitors Lujin and Rose. They talk to each other. "So has Nei been alright with you Lujin."
"Yeah he's a good kid but no one appreciates the lengths that he has gone for the team."
"That's uuh disappointing, Nei always tries his hardest."
"Yeah he's a hard working kid withs huge career in front of him."
"I think I've seen you from somewhere. Aah yes the tv right."
"I mean I do play for Liverpile FC. And no offence but you are?"
"Rose I'm Nei's girlfriend. No need for the surname."
"That's OK I didn't know that Nei had a girlfriend nevermind an angel."
"Oh thank you Lujin!"
A doctor opens the door with a clipboard on his hand. "This is Nei right."
"Yes" Lujin and Rose answered.
"Then I'm sorry to say this but due to that injury to his head. Unfortunately he has personality disorder. We thought it was a mistake until we did a few check ups. He was up but then said he was someone else and then he collapsed..."
