CHAMPIONS!
Miss
Marisol narrates the final of the tournament Semillero
2007
...And
once again, the “SECONDS” were in our
favour...
You
have no idea what it was like to watch our
“Champions Category 98”
playing!!!
11:00 a.m.:
We set off on a bus provided by Linea, impeccably
uniformed players, a super cheering squad made up of
students, parents and some teachers, a huge bass drum,
balloons and a megaphone, headed towards Union Stadium,
barely able to contain the nerves we felt (as Fabrizio
Torres pointed out) as we drove to play the final of the
Semillero 2007 Tournament organized by the
Peruvian Football Federation and Trujillo's Provincial
Council.
We
found our places in the stands of the stadium where we
met Mr. and Mrs. Nocker, more students, parents,
grandparents and great grandparents
The
FLEMING CHEERING SQUAD presented some
beautiful posters, made by fourth grade girls, while the
boys started blowing up very long balloons with which
they made hats for all of us to wear.
And
then the game began. The first goal was scored by the
opposing team. We couldn’t believe it and were “a bit
speechless” for a while.
The
first half was over; there were only 30 seconds
left before the game would end, when a fantastic
move by our team's number 9 (Jorge Quirós)
had us all shouting GOAAAAAL! FLEMING SCORED!!!!!
while the drum played and the megaphone blasted out its
music. It was a draw. Our team had to play another
fifteen minutes.
But
that was not it. The fifteen minutes were played under
incredible pressure but the end result was still the
same.
It
was time to go to penalties, and all the responsibility
fell on the “good little hands” of our goalkeeper, Oscar
Calderón.
