You play the first challenge
by: Unknown
You tell the kids you'd be happy to put them to shame and stop all their penalty kicks. "Te bajaré suavemente" you tell them, with a grin. You see one lean in and whisper to his friend. You don't hear him say, "El italiano será el que vaya bajando suave."
You assume your position at the goal. Up first is Hugo - brown hair and blue eyes, he's 10 years old and has freckles and two missing teeth. He steps up and kicks a goal right past you. GOOOOOOAAAALLL! He cheers and does a lap while his friends roll their eyes.
Next up is Santiago - he's 9 years old and has green eyes nearly covered by his long brown hair. He feints to the right and you jump to the left. In goes the ball. GOOOOOAAAALLL! He does his own celebration.
Other boys step up, but you block their kicks. They walk away furious, swearing while their friends tease them. "Parece que tendrás hambre, amigo." Hungry? You ask the captain as he steps up "¿El ganador recibe un refrigerio?"
"Si algo como eso." His name is Sebastián. He's 11 and has curly dark hair and dark brown eyes. He also trips you up with a double feint and you plant your face in the grass while he obnoxiously celebrates. "Ustedes tres obtengan otra patada." you say to Hugo, Santiago, and Sebastián.
