Goal!!!
One day there was a boy named
Rooney; he lived in England and adored
Manchester United and the great game of
football (soccer). He played football and
lived football.
His Grandad had recently passed away, the
last words he remembered from him were
“never give up”. Rooney always listened to
his Grandad on the field and off.
Rooney always dreamt about playing for
Manchester United, he practised and
practise as he was growing and growing. He
waited till he was older as he was only 13
yrs old.
By the age of 20 Rooney was fit and ready
to have his first trial with Manchester
United. Some of Rooney’s greatest hero’s
were there but he concentrated on the
game.
The game had started and in all most 20
minutes Rooney had scored by the coach
wasn’t looking, Rooney was ferocious.
Rooney was running down the line when he
got slide tackled he had received a penalty.
He took it and…
He missed.
The first trial was over 200 people got cut
and only 22 were left and only 2 spots up
for grabs. Rooney knew this was an unlikely
chance but he remember his Grandad’s last
words were “never give up”. Rooney trained
harder and harder where ever he was
whether on a field or in his street.
One night he was talking with his mum,
and he wondered whether he should go
back and have another trial as there was
only 1 spot left now. His mum said “give it
one more go, do it for Grandad”, a drip of
liquid trickled down his face he wiped it
away.
The next day Rooney was pumped and
ready he knew this was his last chance to
make it and do his Grandad proud. As he
was walking there, some fans called out to
him and said “you’ll never make it, you’re a
wimp”. But Rooney had a heart of steel and
simple focused on what he was there for, to
play.
Rooney received the ball from Giggs he
passed the ball back and Giggs put a
through ball to Rooney he was off until the
big keeper came and took Rooney’s feet
off. He was rewarded a free kick. But he
was still on the floor.
He stood up but it took all his strength, he
knew this free kick would have to be
perfect; it was make it or break it. He was
ready he walk back he took his run up and
kicked it…
This time he kick the ball it look like it was
going out then it came back in and into the
back of the net, it had curled like a
Frisbee. The coach came up to Rooney and
offered him a spot and Rooney accepted it.
Rooney went on to play for Manchester
United for three years and became a
millionaire. The moral of this story is to
“never give up”.
