After the training session ends every single player is called forth to come for a team talk, Coach Willig expresses his delight in the session going well and how is proud of the team's progression. After he is done with his speech he sets up two teams for the 11 aside with the trialed players on one team along with the help of some subs and reserves of the team, against the first team.
The first team gets coached by Willig and the assistant coaches the reserves. They all prepare with themselves with a pep talk and tactics. Both teams are given bibs to wear representing their team's color. The reserves wear the red while the 1st team wear the white.
'Okay boys, I just want simple football when we're on the ball. Don't hold the ball for too long and be lenient on short passes more.'
''Yes coach.''
''You five, we just need you guys to play the football that you're comfortable with. So don't forget to show us what you've got, okay?''
''Yes coach.''
''Good! The here's the formation I need you guys to play. This our usual formation.''
The coach gives the players their positions under the 4-2-3-1 formation, and the players on trial are put on the following positions:
CAM - Che Louw
RW - Leon Sonnenblick
CDM - Johannes Steinbach
LB - Matthias Himmelberg
RCB - Nikolai Schattenwald
Trial Game: White (1st team) vs Red (Reserves) [60 min game]
Formation: Both teams - 4-2-3-1
The players get to their set positions and wait for the game to start, and the first team will be the ones who initiate the kick-off. The game gets kicked off and instantly, Che notices the difference of qualities between what he experienced in his last tournament and this team.
Their passing isn't as fast as the Fichtenhöhe's but they seem better and had better meaning behind them. The game just began but Che could sense the fact that he might chasing the ball the whole game if it goes on like this through the game.
The ball rotates throughout the team, from the backline to the forwards and back, while on the opposition's half. Their passing isn't intense, but they are becoming more dangerous as the minutes get into the game. The ball gets to the RCB, and the ST presses him with full speed.
Che decides to close another channel where he can have a passing option, but he somehow finds pass that drives through the grass between Che, the ST and Johannes to his CAM who has is open on the left side of the pitch.
The CAM controls the ball with his left foot he looks around and before getting dispossessed by the press, he passes it to the LW. The LW has space on the wing and the RB closes him down, and they are now on a one on one.
The LW stops and has a standoff with the RB. He does a few feints left and right without moving with the ball, but the RB doesn't fall for it and patiently waits for him to move with ball. The LW finally decides to move after realizing that Leon is tracking back. He moves down the by line and crosses the ball with his left foot.
A lobbed cross comes to the close corner and Nikolai thinks he'll easily be able to header the ball and clear it out. Suddenly he feels a large presence behind him and it's the tall and big ST that's pushing him from behind.
They both get into a physical battle and fighting for who to win the ball first. When they jump the ST jumps higher than and gets to the ball first, it lands on his head, but he can't direct in accurately to the goal.
The ball goes out of play; it's a goal kick and GK passes the ball to the RB, and he passes it back to GK. He lays it off to Matthias and holds the ball looking for options to pass the ball, but before he knows it his passing options are closed and the RW is on him.
He is forced to boot the ball away into enemy territory, and the opposition's LCB without anyone around he controls the ball with his chest and lays it down to his feet. He passes to one the DMs and Che decides to press him and attempts to get the ball.
The DM uses his body to protect the ball, he keeps pushing Che off his body, but Che keeps on persisting on stealing the ball. Due to his persistence the DM has enough of him and gives him a hard shoulder barge that sends landing on the grass.
With space in front of him he decides to dribble forward with the ball looking for options to pass to. After seeing no openings, he carries on running with the ball to open space while the red team in defense are tracking backwards.
The AM drops deep to support his teammate on the ball; Johannes tries to cover the space that he anticipates the DM to run into. The DM intelligently plays a quick one two surrounding Johannes; he receives the ball back at the edge of the box.
He attempts to make a quick play where he tries a chip pass to his ST. The GK reads the play, and he comes out to get the ball before the ball reaches the ST.
The GK runs forward with the ball looking for who to pass for a quick counter. Leon is calling for it down the right wing, along with the winger on the other side. Both of them are running full speed down their wings.
Che comes in deeper to ask for the ball too, quietly pointing at his feet. Him and the GK lock eyes.
