Polo Stadium – Buyenzi District – 2:30 PM
The afternoon sun blazed over the Buyenzi sports complex. The synthetic turf, well-maintained despite the district's modest resources, shone a deep green under the harsh light. The air vibrated with palpable tension. In the stands, parents, friends, and curious onlookers had come in droves. A buzz of excited chatter, nervous laughter, and passionate predictions surrounded Field Number 3, where the much-anticipated U9 match between PvP FC and Prince Louis FC was about to begin.
On the match sheet, everything looked normal. Two teams of under-nine players were about to face off for a sixty-minute game, split into two halves of thirty minutes. But those in the know—those who had heard of Tesuka from the last match—had their eyes locked on that name at the top of PvP FC's attack line.
Many PvP FC supporters remembered what that kid had done the previous Sunday against one of Buyenzi's top teams" Saint Augustin FC U9—and they were burning with anticipation to see what he'd do today.
Tesuka.
Barely seven years old, wearing jersey number 10, the boy stood calmly at midfield, his bright, piercing eyes fixed on the opposition. He didn't tremble. He didn't smile. He waited. He knew.
> "Good afternoon to all our viewers! This is Madi, your commentator for the Uswazi Hope League's minor and major matches, live from Polo Stadium in Buyenzi, where we're moments away from the highly anticipated group stage showdown in the Buyenzi North zone: PvP Junior FC versus Prince Louis FC!"
Fruuuuut!!!
The whistle blew. Kickoff.
At the 10th second:
First touch for PvP FC. Salu, the central midfielder, slips a pass to Tesuka. A slight contact.
> "Ball control: A – Activated."
The ball clung to his foot like glue.
> "Dribble – Spin Move: A and Cut: A"
Tesuka spun without even looking, leaving two opposing midfielders grasping at air with a sharp cut.
— "What was that?! He didn't even look!" — exclaimed one of Prince Louis FC's defenders.
At the 25th second:
Tesuka accelerated. Two defenders stepped up.
> "Dribble – Step Over: A" "Agility: S- Activated"
A dizzying flurry of body feints and tempo changes. The defenders got in each other's way. Tesuka slipped through them.
Madi, the commentator, was already shouting:
— "NO WAY! Is he really just SEVEN?!"
He entered the box. The goalkeeper lunged forward in a desperate charge.
> "Shooting Technique and Power: C – Activated"
A delicate outside-foot finish with the right. Precise. Clinical. Opposite net.
GOOOOAL!
Golazo! What a magnificent goal from Te-su-kaaaaa!
Already 1-0 for PvP FC over Prince Louis FC.
Tesuka barely raised his arms. He quietly walked back to the center circle. The Prince Louis FC players looked at each other, stunned.
— "Feels like we're playing against a teenager…" — muttered Abdallah, the opposing captain.
At the 4th minute,
Salu intercepted a weak clearance. He looked for Tesuka. Short pass, straight line.
> "Game Vision: B+ Activated"
Tesuka was already between the lines. He took a directional first touch.
> "Dribble – Fake Shot: A Activated"
He faked a shot. The defender jumped to block...
...and ended up on his backside.
— "Lord… he's humiliating us!" — shouted Moustapha.
Tesuka continued.
> "Dribble – Spin Move: A Activated"
A spin move between two defenders.
> "Power Shoot: B+ and Long Pass: C+ Activated"
He unleashed a powerful shot from 20 meters. The ball swerved slightly thanks to the long pass stat affecting its curve.
The keeper reached out. Too late.
GOAL!
PvP FC 2 – 0 Prince Louis FC
At the 8th minute,
Prince Louis FC tried to respond. Amor advanced on the right wing, linked up with Bakari. A powerful shot tested PvP FC's keeper.
Olenga, the center-back, barely deflected it.
— "Nice one, Olenga!" — shouted Bamchwe, the left-back.
Salu recovered. Petro called for the ball centrally. He switched it to Elysée on the right.
Vision B+ activate
Tesuka was already positioned himself. Elysée crossed.
Tesuka cut the trajectory with a header.
The ball grazed the post. Chills ran through the crowd.
Madi trembled:
— "He smells the goal like a fox... it's more than instinct—it's pure calculation!" Corner for PvP FC.
Tesuka stepped up to take it. He aimed directly at goal.
> "Focus: B- | Long Pass: C+ | Shot: C"
The ball soared, then dipped in a perfect curve.
The goalkeeper leapt… and missed.
Silence fell for a moment—
Aaaaahhh!!!,eeeehhhh!!!!,ooooohhhhh!!!!
GOOOOOAL! A direct corner! I can't believe my eyes!
PvP FC 3 – 0 Prince Louis FC
The stadium exploded.
Prince Louis FC's bench froze. The coach, jaw dropped, stared at the little prodigy as he calmly jogged back.
— "That's not a U9 player. That's… that's an anomaly," murmured Assumani, the center-back.
Just three minutes later,
Kamikaze sent a through pass. Abdoul sprinted forward, cut past a defender—and was fouled in the box.
Penalty!
"Who's taking the penalty? Wait… Is that Tesuka? Don't tell me he can do that too!" the coach exclaimed.
Tesuka picked up the ball. He stepped forward. The stadium went silent.
> "Focus: B- Activated"
He cleared his mind.
He stared at the keeper. Inhale. Exhale...
> "Vision: B+ Activated"
He waited… just a split second. The keeper dove left.
> "Shot: C Activated"
Baammm—Tesuka shoots.
A powerful strike straight down the middle.
...Dead silence...wuuuhh...!!!! then — cheers erupting in every corner.
Aaaaahhh!!!,eeeehhhh!!!!,ooooohhhhh!!!!
GOAL! He did it again! This kid can do everything,there's nothing he can't do!
PvP FC 4 – 0 Prince Louis FC
Madi laughed in disbelief.
— "He's playing with them like a cat plays with mice!"
2 minutes later – 15th minute:
Another offensive.
Salu found Bamchwe, who combined with Petro. Tesuka called for the ball just outside the box.
> "Short Pass: B-"
He controlled it.
> " Dribble:~Body Feint: Cut: A. Step Over: A"
One, two, three defenders left behind.
He accelerated. Glided past them one by one. Entered the box. The keeper rushed out.
A cheeky left-footed chip.
GOAL!
PvP FC 5 – 0 Prince Louis FC
— "THERE ARE ELEVEN OF THEM AND HE DOESN'T CARE!" — screamed Madi.
At the 16th minute:
The stadium was on its feet. Some of the Prince Louis FC kids were shaking. Others stared at the ground. Abdallah clenched his fists. Moustapha avoided everyone's gaze.
Tesuka, still calm, adjusted his imaginary captain's armband.
He didn't celebrate. He carried on.
He wanted more.
5-minute break to catch our breath, but what a match, what a match!
If someone had told me it would unfold like this, I wouldn't have believed it. The scoreline was even more lopsided than the previous match. We experienced suspense with the U13s before noon, and now it's the U9s' turn—and they're not disappointing.
Fruuuuut! The whistle blows,
The match resumes after a short break. Despite the gap in score, the youngsters of Prince Louis FC seem determined not to collapse completely.
Bakari makes a run down the left side. He brilliantly dribbles past Petro and fires a low, powerful shot. The PvP FC keeper drops down quickly and parries the ball with a firm hand.
— That was close! — exclaims Madi, tense in his commentator's chair, voice trembling with excitement.
Amor picks up the rebound and attempts a half-volley. This time, it sails over the bar.
— Prince Louis is pushing! They don't want to go into the break with such a humiliating scoreline! — Madi comments.
At 17th minute
PvP FC counterattacks quickly. Salu plays a one-two with Petro and Bamchwe. The ball lands at Tesuka's feet.
— Hey! Hit the one-two! — yells Petro, already on the move.
Two defenders await him, eyes locked on the prodigy.
— Stay on him! — the Prince Louis FC coach shouts desperately.
Tesuka slows down, scans the field—"Vision'stats activate."
He initiates a double touch followed by a lightning-quick change of direction.
Dribble – Cut: A activate
He splits the defenders. Moustapha dives in with a desperate slide tackle, but he's too late.
Inside the box, Tesuka shoots with power.
The ball smashes into the post… bounces back to him.
Another shot—blocked by Assumani, who scrambled back just in time.
Corner kick.
— Is he starting to miss?
— No... they're starting to read him! — notes a spectator.
Two minutes later
Corner by Elysée. The ball soars to Olenga, who heads it… just over!
— Too bad! He timed the jump well. This team is just a step away from being monstrous, — Madi declares.
A few minutes later
Now it's Hamidou's time to shine. He picks up a poorly cleared ball, charges forward, and launches a strike from 25 meters out.
The ball flies… but Tesuka reappears in defense and blocks it with a precise sliding tackle.
— This kid is everywhere! Defense, attack—he covers the whole field! — Madi shouts in awe.
At the22nd minute
Tesuka calls for the ball from Bamchwe. He gets it, lifts his head, and attempts a cross-field pass to Elysée.
Long Pass: C+
The ball reaches Elysée perfectly.
He controls it smoothly, advances, and sends in a cross. Petro cuts the trajectory with the inside of his foot…
Reflex save by the goalkeeper!
— Beautiful team play from PvP FC! — Madi marvels. — They're playing almost blindfolded now.
7 minutes left in the first half
— Hold on! — shouts Amissi, Prince Louis FC's captain. — Don't let them shoot at will anymore!
The lines tighten. Kamikaze, quiet until now, bursts onto the scene with a high sombrero dribble sequence. He beats Salu, then Petro.
— Watch Kamikaze! He's unpredictable! — Madi warns.
He tries a right-footed cross-shot.
The ball curves toward goal… but veers left of the post.
2 minutes later
Tesuka charges straight down the middle. Three defenders line up. He slows down, plays a quick one-two with Bamchwe.
Feint,'' step-over'', double touch…
He shoots!
Deflected off Moustapha's shin. Corner.
— Another blocked shot. It's got to be getting frustrating for him, right? — Madi wonders.
Out of Tesuka's last 10 attempts, seven have been blocked or intercepted. The opposing defense is finally getting organized.
3 minutes before halftime
Corner. Tesuka plays it short with Salu.
— Quick pass, I've got you covered! — whispers Salu.
Tesuka cuts inside and attempts a curled shot…
"ShootCactive"
GOOOAAAL! Tesuka again! He always catches us off guard!
PvP FC 6 – 0 Prince Louis FC
Finally, one goes through. The crowd erupts once more. But Tesuka, ever composed, calmly jogs back to his half.
Final minute of the half
Bakari makes one last push. He dribbles past Salu, beats Petro, and unleashes a heavy shot.
The ball takes off…
But the PvP FC goalkeeper steps up with a brilliant save!
— WHAT A SAVE! — Madi bellows.
[30:00] End of the first half.
The score is merciless, but Prince Louis FC didn't back down at the end. They tried, they shot, they pushed—they even dominated in brief moments.
And Tesuka?
Six goals, but more than ten blocked or missed shots. He started to face real resistance toward the end… but he's Tesuka. Even under pressure, even when it hurts, he still scores.
You have to wonder: why hasn't he been promoted to the U13s—or even U15s—if his physique allows it?
Because he's a total monster ,yeah he's TMM(total domination of matchs)
On the other side, Tesuka still isn't smiling. He's barely sweating.
But in his eyes, a new spark: the desire to push his limits even further.
