["Tyler Wilson is now on the ball and he's going and he's going and now he's one on one with the defender. Or rather one versus two. Wilson goes in and- no, he's wide again he's wide again! Tyler Wilson shoots... Goal! What a fairytale start for the young debutant. First game tonight, first start tonight, first assist tonight, and now he's got his first goal as well. Boy oh boy has he been spectacular so far!"] As soon as Tyler's shot went into the back of the net, the commentator started talking.
["Well I think he was the target of quite a bit of abuse because of a misunderstood news headline not so long ago. I think now, we can see that even if that headline turned out to be correct, he had the right to speak like that. He's been nothing but phenomenal in this match and I think he's sure to turn the heads of some clubs with a performance like this. He hasn't had a foot wrong so far in this match. He hasn't been overly selfish, he knows when to dribble, knows when to pass, knows when to shoot. You know, to play with that type of maturity at such a young age, I think this kid is going straight to the top"] The co-commentator said.
Tyler had a smile on his face as he was lead over the barricade and returned to face an onslaught from his teammates. They patted his back, ruffled his hair, George hugged him and did the other two.
After they were done, he turned back to face the fans, blew a kiss at them then shook his fists before walking back to his position on the pitch.
The referee blew his whistle and then the match resumed.
After Tyler's goal, Paris FC abandoned their high press approached and settled into their own half, defending while also waiting for loose balls so that they could go on counter attacks. Their new approach managed to get them a couple of chances, but after Monaco got used to it, there was really nothing that they could do.
Ten more minutes passed, and after a shot from George went out for a goal kick, Tyler saw his number on the substitution board and had a small smile on his face. He was bummed about being removed early but was pretty satisfied with what he had played so far. He got a goal and two assists, and asides his goal involvement, he felt that he played a very good game.
"Nice one kid". Akliouche patted Tyler's back as they hugged when he came off the pitch.
"You did well Wilson". Adi Hutter smiled as Tyler went to the bench and sat down among his teammates.
"You did well son". Tiago said as Tyler plopped on the bench beside him.
"Aren't you supposed to be warming up?" Tyler raised a brow at Tiago. Majority of the bench players were out on the sidelines, warming up and preparing to come on.
"Coach told me I'm not playing today". Tiago said.
"And you're chilling on the bench?" Tyler chuckled.
"What am I supposed to do?" Tiago shrugged.
"Run like your life is on the line and then beg him later in the game, for just five minutes". Tyler rolled his eyes. "If you don't have enough desire, forget today in this everybody eats session, you probably won't ever play or you won't play for a long, long time".
"You're right". Tiago said after a brief moment of thought. He took of the bib he had on him and went to warm up with the other substitutes, looking for even the littlest of game-time to show what he could do.
Tyler smiled as he watched his friend run off and got comfortable in his seat. He continued watching the match and cheered for his team as they pushed for more goals.
In the sixty ninth minute, Monaco scored a fourth goal. Akliouche went on a dangerous run down the right flank, getting past multiple Paris FC players that tried to get the ball of him. It was like the ball was glued to his feet as he broke into the right side of the penalty box and laid the ball off to Folarin Balogun who had almost nothing to do as he put the ball into the back of the net to make it four goals to one in favor of Monaco.
That goal seemed to be it for the Paris FC players. They were completely broke and didn't attack or defend with the same tenacity that they once did. It was almost as if they were waiting for the full time whistle to be blown so that they could get out of the match.
In the wake of Paris FC's demotivation, George managed to get himself a second goal of the match. The goal was a textbook depiction of building out from the back. Monaco's center backs had the ball and recycled possession within themselves before pushing it forward to Henrique on the left flank. Henrique pushed the ball forward and then passed it into the midfield. Lamine Camara passed it to Mousrati with his first touch and the central midfielder pushed it forward to Folarin Balogun who managed to shrug off the defensive midfielder and play a perfectly timed through ball to George.
George managed to outpace the two center backs and latched onto the through ball and calmly slotted it past the rapidly approaching goalkeeper to score Monaco's fifth goal of the match.
Tiago eventually got his wish and made his debut after disturbing Adi Hutter and pestering his assistants. He went on in the eightieth minute and almost got an assist on his debut but Folarin Balogun couldn't put away the chance that he created.
In the end, the referee blew his whistle and the match came to an end with the score line being five goals to one in favor of Monaco.
After the match, Tyler could hear the voices of the Monaco players as the cheered on the players. He was named man of the match a few minutes before the match concluded. After shaking hands with the players of the opposing team, he walked towards the barricade he once jumped over while celebrating and walked over to his grandma.
He took off his shirt and handed it to her. "Could you get it framed for me?" He asked her as soon as she took it in her hands.
As she placed the jersey in her bag, she scrunched up her nose, implying that the jersey was smelling.
"Ha-ha. Enough with the lies". Tyler said when he saw her reaction. "I basically bathed in body spray before the match so there's no way that the jersey smells bad".
"But why give it to me if you want it framed? Wouldn't you need it here?" His grandma asked.
"This... it's my first gift to you". Tyler said. "It may mot be worth much now but when I make it to the top, the jersey I wore during my very first match will be worth millions".
"So basically, it's worth fuck all and you're giving it to me because you hope it'll be worth a lot in the future". Tyler's grandma said.
"It's not like that". Tyler laughed. "Because I know that I'm going to the top".
"Alright". Tyler's grandmother raised her hand. "Mister Billionaire in transit".
"That's- that's not the same as what's happening". Tyler said.
"What's a billionaire in transit?" Tyler's grandmother asked.
"Someone who wants to be a bi-" Tyler realized where his grandma was going with the question so he stopped answering. "Just get the framed jersey".
Tyler spoke with his grandma for a few more minutes and then he walked back onto the pitch and was swarmed by reporters almost immediately, looking for an interview.
After the incident that happened not too long ago, Tyler really wasn't in the mood to do any interview at the moment. He would've chased them away with the lie that he couldn't speak French, but he had already done a couple of interviews.
Seeing as he dropped a masterclass on his debut and was also named the man, he realized that there wasn't an escape.
He went towards the interviewers and was presented with his award and then took a couple of pictures with it. After that, he was asked a few questions based on the match. Tyler tried his best to answer the questions in a way that didn't leave any room for his words to be twisted but knowing how they were, they would find a way to do it anyways.
After he finished the interview, he went into the locker room. Adi Hutter spoke to all the players, then dismissed them. After getting dismissed by Adi Hutter, Tyler walked out of the stadium and just when he was about to start walking back to his apartment, he spotted a girl his age wearing a Monaco jersey waiting.
"You were just going to leave without seeing me, huh?"
