The Worries of the Acting Captain

Mikael Dorsin, the acting Rosenborg captain, sighed with frustration as he watched the Vålerenga players celebrate their goal on the sidelines. Just because of the mistake of one teammate, his team was already on the back foot very early in the game. God! He hated to lose the most. He could feel his emotions all over the place as he recalled the goal. He would have liked to run to Christian, the player that'd committed the amateur mistake, and given him a mouthful of what he felt. But he swallowed down his frustration and instead turned to the technical area to observe Coach Johansen's reaction to Vålerenga's first goal.

But his eyes widened with surprise a moment later. He instantly noticed that Verner Rönning and Ole Selnæs, two of Rosenborg's defensive-minded players on the bench, had already started warming up on the sidelines. He was baffled and concerned by the coach's rashness and impatience.
