You start the match on the bench, patiently watching, waiting for the coach to turn around and call your name so that you get your 15min of glory in the legend that is an ‘El Clasico’. When he finally does, you wait anxiously on the touch line, only to look away from the player you’re replacing as he runs at you and wishes you luck. You run straight to your position and get stuck in straight away. A touch here, a tackle there… a mere 5 minutes later and the ball has been crossed to you from the right, as you wait for it to find you running to the back post, you ponder “should I tap it in with poise and style or slam the balls off of the fucker!?”…
There has to be some level of satisfaction when you score a goal like that in one of the games of the season, while the whole world is watching! I mean, I still get a buzz when I sit at the front of the bus on my way home from ‘Nymphos Anonymous’ and play pocket pool! Sure it’s a little annoying at first cause everyone sits there watching in disgust, but when I finally RISE to the occasion, then its on like Donkey Kong, so I could only image what it’s like to get your thrills in front of 90,000 adoring spectators! Aww shit!
