Commentator Chintu:- Today, the Eastern Park is fully packed. All of them have come here to witness and enjoy the final match between the Yellow House and the Blue House football team. As we can see that the players of both the teams are warming up for the match. Let us see which team wins the final match today.
********************************************************
Mr. Bairagi:- Oh! Sir! You are here also. Good to see that you have took out some time to watch this match.
Mr. Roland:- Yeah! Yeah! Why not! After all; it is a final match. You must be very happy that your team is in the final.
Mr. Bairagi:- Winning the final is more important than just reaching in the final.
Mr. Roland:- Ha ha ha…so, are you confident that your team will win the final?
Mr. Bairagi:- No, not like that. Blue House is also a good team. But, I am keeping my fingers crossed.
********************************************************
Commentator Chintu:- Mr. Richards has blown the whistle for half-time. In the first half, both the teams have played pathetic football. I was feeling as if the Yellow House has created a Great Wall of China in their defense line-up and the Strikers of Blue House are continuously failing to enter inside the penalty box of the Yellow House. Blue House has not earned any corner kick despite attacking so well. Imagine, how tactfully, the defenders of Yellow House tackled them from all ends.
********************************************************
Rajat:- Dwaipayan daa…what’s happening! For 30 minutes, we kept on defending. We are losing our stamina now. We don’t know for how long we will be able to defend the Blue House strikers from scoring goals.
Dwaipayan:- If we can block them for 1st 30 minutes, we can surely do the same thing for the next 30 minutes also. In the extra time, we will go for the kill, when they will be totally tired and exhausted.
Rakesh:- Your master-plan is good. We have no doubt about that. But, what is the guarantee that within next 15-20 minutes, we will not lose our stamina. Blue House team will start playing more aggressively in the 2nd half, because they have already understood that we don’t have better strikers than that of their team.
Rikshit:- Blue House is a one-man team. We are using 5 defenders to mark that single striker. That’s the problem!
Dwaipayan:- Hmm…so, we can possibly beat the Blue House team which has no Ritwik.
Biswajit:- Rasikota karcho naaki! Actually, what are you trying to say? We are not getting it.
Dwaipayan:- Kramoso prakasya…just wait and watch.
********************************************************
Sandipan:- Ritwik daa…you are a good striker. I appreciate that. But, that does not mean that you will not give pass to anyone. You are trying to score a goal by yourself and the Yellow House defenders know it very well that you are a selfish player. So, they are applying the ‘Man-to-Man’ marking strategy against you. You are failing to take a shot at the goal despite all your skills and efforts.
Ritwik:- Don’t give lectures to me. I know what to do and how to do. The way I am playing, I am sure that I will get a goal in the 2nd half. Don’t worry!
*********************************************************
Commentator Chintu:- 16 minutes has passed in the 2nd half. Still, the scoreboard is 0-0. Oh! No! What a deadly tackle by that Yellow House left-back defender. Ritwik is holding his right knee now. It is very painful for him. His facial expression is saying that all. All the Blue House players are demanding for a Red Card for that Yellow House defender. Mr. Richards responded to that demand without any hesitation. Nonigopal left the field after seeing the Red Card. So, is the Ritwik with a deadly injury! He cannot walk properly at this moment. He is literally hopping. Samanta came in as a substitute of Ritwik. The game has started again.
*******************************************************
Rakesh:- This is not a fair captaincy, Dwaipayan daa.
Dwaipayan:- This game is a war and everything is fair in love and war. At the end of the day, whosoever wins the war is the real champion. Joh jeeta wahi Sikandar.
******************************************************
Kanchan:- Now, the pressure will be on us. As Ritwik is out, they will start playing attacking football now.
Arindam:- Hardly, 5 minutes or so left for the match. They are with 10 men and we are with 11. Nothing to worry! Play charged football. Keep on sending the football outside the field whenever you get a chance. Waste the time. We will see them in the extra-time.
****************************************************
Commentator Chintu:- Now, the match has headed for the extra-time, 10 minutes for each half.
***************************************************
Mr. Roland:- Wow! Both the teams are neck and neck to each other. No one is giving an inch to their opponent player.
Subir Sir:- What neck and neck, Sir! They intentionally fouled Ritwik badly to nullify our advantage factor.
Mr. Bairagi:- Subir daa…football is a game of 11 players not of a single player.
Subir Sir:- Yeah! That I know, but, a knife has no value if it has no sharpness. Without Ritwik, this Blue House team is a team without any sharpness. It is like a pistol with no bullets in it.
Mr. Bairagi:- Your boys are dependent on Ritwik only. That’s the problem! At least, this type of weak psychology is not there in our Yellow House team. All of them are independent and have self-confidence.
Mr. Roland:- Ok, ok, don’t fight among yourselves, otherwise, I will show the final Red Card to the coaches of both the teams…ha ha ha…just kidding…he he he…ok, now let us enjoy watching the extra-time.
***************************************************
Commentator Chintu:- 7 minutes have passed in the 1st half of the extra-time. For the first time, in this match, Yellow House has earned a free-kick. Rajat is going to take the free-kick. Oh! No, Rajat just gave a back-heel pass to Biswajit. Biswajit took a long shot at the goal. Oooh! The Blue House goalkeeper missed it by an inch. The ball went in. Yellow House has taken the lead by 1-0.
*************************************************
Mukesh:- We will not let that bloody Yellow House team win so easily. No, not so easily. Spread out! We will go for all out attack. Oh! Shit! The whistle has blown.
************************************************
Commentator Chintu:- After the 1st half of the extra-time, Yellow House is leading by 1 goal. Blue House has only 10 minutes to come back in the match. Let us see what happens!
************************************************
Mrs. Samaddar:- Actually, Blue House never deserved to be in the final. Luckily, they reached the final. Oh! God! Had my boys scored at least 1 or 2 goals in any of their first two matches!
Mr. Bairagi:- Ha ha ha…chor palaaley buddhi baarey…taah…what is your feedback about our Yellow House team.
Mrs. Samaddar:- Your boys play Italian football. They will keep on defending and defending and will wait for the golden opportunity to score a goal from counter-attack.
Mr. Bairagi:- My boys are dark horses. They start firing at the last stage, when their opponents start under-estimating them.
Mrs. Samaddar:- Don’t get so much carried away, Bairagi. Blue House has come back.
**********************************************
Commentator Chintu:- So, what! If Ritwik is sitting outside the field! Blue House has Kestolal. How he scored that goal from that angle! Oh! Just amazing! The ball was about to go out for a goal kick for Yellow House. He just blocked the ball and took a shot from that right-side angle. The ball went into the net like a bullet. Now, we are witnessing a real final. Only 4 minutes remaining. All the players are tensed as well as excited. That’s what a perfect atmosphere of a final match can do to you.
**********************************************
Rakesh:- Ehe! Bad luck!
Rikshit:- There are no linesmen in this match! Hmm…
Rakesh:- What do you mean!
Rikshit:- Very simple! Blue House is playing all-out attacking football and we should play long crossed passes. If luckily, it is not an off-side, go for the goal.
Rakesh:- Oops! Really! You and Dwaipayan are excellent master-minds of our team. Bairagi Sir has rightly selected the Captain and Vice-Captain of the team.
**********************************************
Commentator Chintu:- That’s a lovely save from the Yellow House goalkeeper. He wasted no time; went for the goal kick very rapidly. Dwaipayan received the ball using his chest and gave the pass to Rajat. Rajat went for a cross from the left flank. Biswajit headed the ball towards the right-top corner of the goal post. The Blue House goalkeeper dived and made a punch at the ball. Oh! Rudrapratap, the midfielder just gave a smart touch to the ball and the ball went in towards the left corner of the goal post. Goaalll !!! Mr. Richards looked at his wrist watch and blown the final whistle. Look at the Yellow House players. They are champions for this year. Their coach, Mr. Bairagi is running in. Also, the red card holder, Nonigopal is running in along with all his teammates sitting in the reserve bench. Why not! The final victory washes away all the foul plays at the end. Blue House played well, but, in the final, one has to win and one has to lose. Better luck next time. I am signing off for now. See you next year again.
**********************************************
Ritwik:- Saala…Mr. Roland gave the Man of the Match award to Biswajit for his performance, but, I would have given you that award.
Nonigopal:- Arrey, why you are angry on me? In big matches like final, those small fouls happen. Can’t help it!
Ritwik:- Had I known earlier, that you people will badly injure me, I would have played short-passing football. I did a blunder by playing on my own and trying to score goal by myself only.
Rakesh:- Then it is your fault, naah! Isn’t it, Ritwik. You cannot play as a selfish player; after all, this is football. Why are you targeting at Nonigopal? He got his punishment by seeing the Red Card.
Arindam:- Hey, Rakesh! We will take the sweet revenge next year.
Nonigopal:- Ha ha ha…ok, ok. Sure, sure! Now, let us enjoy. Actually, we all are in a party mood. Mr. Bairagi has already declared about giving a gala feast to us.
Ritwik:- Nonigopal, my right knee is still paining and you are continuously sprinkling salts on my wounds. I pray to God, that he should give you a severe punishment in the football tournament of next year.
Nonigopal:- Arrey! Sorry! Yaar! You people are still so angry. Come on! I will give a treat to you all at the canteen. Come, come!
Arindam:- Ok! Not an issue! After all, both I and Ritwik are foodies, he he he…
************************************************
Mr. Roland:- You people may be surprised, right! You people may be thinking that why, suddenly, our School Principal called for a Staff meeting for all the teachers of Class IX. Last year, 35 students failed to clear the Test exam under CBSE and Madhyamik Board. In Madhyamik, 17 students failed to pass and in CBSE, 12 students failed to pass. It is a shame. Look at Ajmer Association School. Last year, all of their students have passed.
Mrs. Nainital:- Sir, this is not in our hand. If students don’t study hard, then what can we do?
Mr. Roland:- Ha ha ha…if those students don’t study hard, make them study hard. Not from Class X, but from Class IX itself. It is better to fail very badly in the Half-Yearly & Annual Exams of Class IX, rather than failing in Test Exam or Board Exam in Class X.
Mrs. Poddar:- So, you want us to make very tough question papers for this Half-Yearly Exam.
Mr. Roland:- Exactly! I want each of them to fight in the exam for a single mark. Let them fail; let them get the scolding from their parents, let them shed tears. Unless they fail brutally, they will not realize the meaning of failure and unless they realize it by their own, they will never aspire for a big success. Set the question paper tough and also do the checking of exam papers very strictly. Shortlist those students who will get more than 65% marks. We will teach them in a special class. I want at least 2 to 3 students in the Top 20 ranking list both in Madhyamik and CBSE final exam of next year. The process should start by now.
****************************************************
Mrs. Nainital:- Listen everyone! Half Yearly Exam is just around the corner. Only 45 days left. Routine of the Half-Yearly Exam has been published in the Notice Board a short while ago. I am giving you all a hint that this year, Half-Yearly Exam will be very tough for you. Even getting 45% in each subject will be a great struggle for you.
Ganga:- Madam! Every year, our class teacher says the same thing to us…he he he…but, at last, we all pass.
Mrs. Nainital:- But, this time, it is slightly different. The order has come strictly from the top level. So, we will show no mercy to anyone of you while checking the papers. It is for your future benefit only. So, in a nutshell; start studying hard from now on. Best of luck for the Half-Yearly Exam!
