52 Chapter 52: First Training

Helder woke up early.

He couldn't sleep with excitement.

He looked at the clock.

It was 30 minutes before the training started.

"Oh, I have to be quick." he thought.

"If I have breakfast, I will be late for training." He continued to think.

Being late on the first day…

Helder Xerxes has never been late for a workout in his life.

Or would this be a first?

Helder opened the door and left the room.

As Helder walked down the hall, he came to Amy's room.

He looked at the phone.

"He must be awake at this hour." he thought.

He walked without knocking on the door…

***

First Training…

Helder had arrived at the training ground.

He looked at his teammates online for preliminary research.

However, he did not know a single player.

Helder approached the locker room.

He could hear laughter and conversations.

"It has been a long time since I felt this atmosphere…" he thought.

He closed his eyes.

He thought about all that he had been through.

He took a deep breath.

"Everything starts again. This is your first step, Helder…" he motivated himself.

He opened the dressing room door and walked in.

There was a moment of silence as Helder entered the dressing room.

Everyone looked at Helder.

Helder thought they were all staring at him with pitying eyes.

But suddenly there was a noise.

All the players started shouting.

"Came. Came. He is here. Who was it that made fun of me when I first said it?" There was someone who reproached. The person who said these sentences was the team's 21-year-old striker, Van Colling.

Everyone had gathered around Helder.

"What was it like playing for Real Madrid?"

"Wow… you see it taller and more muscular than on TV."

"I am sure that having you on our team will strengthen us."

"Welcome."

There were dozens of questions like this and sentences that motivated Helder.

Helder was surprised but delighted by such a locker room atmosphere.

"Are you okay?"

He looked at the person asking the question.

The person who asked the question was the captain of the team, defender 29-year-old David Geel.

For the first time in a long time, someone had asked him how he was.

"I'm fine and thank you for your question," said Helder.

The captain smiled.

"Welcome back to us. I hope we will have a good season as a team." he continued.

Just then, manager Cris Felipe came into the dressing room with his assistants.

"Let's training!" said.

***

Goalkeepers initially attended training with the team.

20 minutes later, goalkeeper coach Feris Montre called 3 goalkeepers to his side.

And they continued training together.

Classical goalkeeper training was done.

It wasn't difficult for Helder.

They switched to reflex studies.

Coach Feris Montre was shooting slow shots from the ground to the left and right with his feet.

Others didn't bounce the ball even once.

It's Helder's turn.

Helder tried to control the incoming balls without bouncing.

However, he had skipped 5 out of 10 shots.

When Feris Montre saw this situation, he paused for a moment.

Water Break.

He went to Helder.

"Don't be afraid, you'll come back to yourself gradually."

"Yes sir."

There were 20 minutes left in the workout.

Helder was starting to struggle.

It was as if he couldn't control his body.

"Now shooting training." shouted the manager.

All the players took turns shooting the goalkeepers.

Other goalkeepers weren't very good at long shots.

Almost all shots were scored.

"If I had old reflexes, I would have saved them all." thought Helder.

[DO NOT BE AFRAID. I WILL HELP YOU.]

"Help?"

The system was silent.

"Helder, it's your turn." shouted the goalkeeping coach.

Pass is given to the player who will shoot the shot.

He shot.

[JUMP TO THE RIGHT, HELDER.]

"What?"

The capabilities of the system would now be revealed...
