TOUGH TASK FOR STEFAN IN HIS FIRST LOAN MOVE

When he touched down at the airport he was welcomed with flowers by the head coach. The airport was full of many people. What made Stefan lose his confidence was the fact that most of them were staring at him. He started to feel shy. He was soon escorted by the head coach to where he will be staying. He was being asked so many questions by bloggers but he dodged all of them. He soon was taken to a hotel where he would be staying for. That night Stefan had mixed emotions about his new club. He took his phone and called his parents to have a talk. He told them about his first day in Albania, he got to tell them further that this is his chance to redeem himself for his actions. He asked them for support in his decisions. The next day he was up early for training he felt he had a point to prove. In that morning he arrived earlier than the coach and started training on his own. He had not trained for a while so he lacked match fitness. He had trained for an hour on his own and was constantly making mistakes. Soon some of the teammates were arriving and they started training as they waited for the coach. At 8 am the training started and Stefan was constantly trying his best to get the coaches tactics. He still had a lot to work on to get back to his best. On his first day he was not convincing. He was very tired before even the training ended. After the training he fell on the ground and could not walk. His teammates had to help him out of the field and give him water. He even fell asleep on the pitch. By the time he woke up he found himself alone on the pitch. He was very exhausted. He was walking outside and he saw there was a very big gym. He came close and saw his new team mates there lifting weights. He entered that gym to see what they were doing. That was the time he noticed most of his teammates had 6 packs. He realized they work out on the gym. The coach came and asked him if he could try out some of the duels? Stefan was up for the challenge and went to the weight lifts. The gym instructor went easy on him and reduced the weights. Stefan being very exhausted did not do much he was not putting in much effort. He tripped when putting them down. They had to check on him to know how he was doing. He felt a knock on his ankle. They had to rush him to the club doctors to run tests on him to ensure he is doing well. Stefan could not believe he is going to get sidelined for a while. There the doctors said they need to run tests on him to know what is wrong and how long he is getting sidelined. The doctors started running tests on him and it took them that whole evening to finish running the tests on Stefan. They found out he had a problem with his ankle and he will be out for 1 month. Stefan was constantly asking questions whether he is going to recover soon or it will take a while? The doctors had to inject him so that he can get some sleep. They soon spoke to the head coach about his minor injury and the remedy. They further explained with a good therapy he will be back in a month. By the time Stefan woke up he was in the hospital and it was morning. Now the head coach broke the bad news to him he will be sidelined for a month. He was told to take a rest for the day and the next day he begins his therapy. Stefan being very stubborn left the hospital to go out and watch the rest train. He got to sneak in the stadium and watch as his team mates did the tutorials. After a while he went to his hotel and changed his clothes to go and look for the club fitness trainer. He found him at the gym and told him he is ready to start his training. Stefan was more than determined to recover from his injury. Candice the fitness trainer had to start the therapy early because the patient wanted it. Stefan was instructed to do stretches in order to recover from his ankle injury. He was in constant pain but he kept trying to push himself in order to recover. On the first day he had done well the challenge was to keep up with consistency. Candice advised him to hit the gym and improve his physique if he was to escape getting injured. Stefan remembered when he was young he used to hit the gym and that helped him out a lot. He chose to go back to the gym in order to come back much stronger he kept coming there and keeping up with consistency. By the time the one month was over he had recovered from his ankle injury. The only thing he lacked was match fitness. The coach had to ensure he trains for 3 weeks in order for him to be perfectly ready. The coach trained him to play in many positions as a forward. The home fans were anticipating to see their summer signing make his debut. It took Stefan two months to make his debut for Major league side in Albania. By the time he was making his debut the season was almost half way gone. The first game he played was against Northampton. Stefan had to make a statement on his debut. He was implementing everything from the training ground. Creating chances giving key passes and assisting, now he knew his role in the club. He put in a man of the match performance on his debut. Stefan was very happy with his performance he was now feeling confident the big task was to keep up with the consistency. At the back of his mind he knew he still had a lot to offer. He kept training well for a while and putting in good performances. In just 3 games Stefan had a high rate goal contribution and was doing well defensively. That was enough to earn him the player of the month award. It was his first time to ever play in the main team and he was coping well with the pressure despite being 16 years only. The big challenge was now for the team to come out strong after the winter break.
