Chapter One

Jake is playing for Barcelona.

He keeps scoring 

and so the score is already 3-2 to Barcelona.

They are playing against West Ham Utd.

As it is coming up to half time a player

from West Ham scores a lucky goal,

the crowd goes wild jumping

and cheering as the player celebrates.

West Ham can hear the manager for Barcelona

shouting and screaming his head off at the players.

The only words that they can make out are

“Get out there and score some goals”.

Chapter Two

The referee blows the whistle

to start the second half 

and straight away there is an injury.

Jake went down in the box

but he got back up to take the penalty.

The goalie saved it

but there was still the possibility of a rebound goal.

Jake goes for a diving header

and when he hits it,

it goes up in the air,

hits off of the post

and he just about kicks it in

with his foot.

He gets up

and the crowd goes wild

and as he celebrates

he does a frontflip

and then a backflip.

Within minutes he scores again.

The match was pretty straight foward from there.

The final whistle blew and the crowd went mad,

jumping and singing Barcelona.

The commentator even says

“What a win, Jake is just unstoppable when he gets going”.

Chapter Three

As the teams are entering the tunnel,

someone throws something at Jake.

It hit him in the head which knocked him unconscious.

Later in hospital I woke up.

On the TV

I see Lionel Messi scoring a winning goal.

The manager runs onto the pitch

and starts to hug and kiss Messi

and throw him up in the air.

The match was pretty straight foward from there,

the final whistle blew

and the crowd went mad, jumping and singing Barcelona.

The commentator even says

“What a win, Messi is just unstoppable when he gets going”

Then I realised I had just had the greatest dream.

My name is Jake and I am football mad.

When I grow up I hope to be as successful as Lionel Messi.
