Shakes’ brilliance helps annihilate Nakama
Supa Strikas’ quest to lift the Super League trophy got another boost when Shakes’ pass and Dancing Rasta’s goal insured the Men in Red were victorious against F.C. Nakama at Strikaland.
Shakes was believed to be unhappy about the new specialist coach who trained Strikas for the game against Nakama. The specialist took Strikas back to the basics of football. However, Shakes was more interested in doing his own moves, which he believed would be the key to victory. Instead of arguing with him, Coach gave Shakes a job. He was assigned to coach the Supa Strikas development team. Shakes wasn’t happy with the idea, but had no choice. What was Coach thinking? It seemed like he had a plan in mind.
Match day arrived at Strikaland. In the first half Shakes was nowhere to be found. Nakama were brilliant against the Men in Red as they controlled the midfield, and it wasn’t a surprise when they took the lead thanks to Miko Chen’s two superb goals.
Chen was stealing the show. It looked like the Men in Red were never going to recover from this disaster. Shakes was trying hard to score a goal, but forgetting that he was not playing alone on the field.
However, out of the blue Shakes returned to the stage a different man in the second half. All eyes were on him to see if he could deliver for the Men in Red. Soon Shakes found his rhythm, and showed why he is a Supa Strikas player with his outstanding pass that bamboozled Nakama’s defence, and allowed El Matador to score. Strikas were not finished as Twisting Tiger and El Matador’s superb exchange of passes saw Strikas level the game 2-all.
Supa Strikas fans who lost hope were smiling again. But Shakes wasn’t finished yet. He showed his class and teamwork and supplied Dancing Rasta with another superb pass instead of going for glory, allowing Rasta to net the winning goal.
After the game, Shakes told Supanews how he LOVES Strikaland and there’s no place like it. “I understand now why Coach made me coach the development team. It doesn’t take one player to win the game, but the whole team,” he said.
