that's the real problem is it, me being made captain? no look we had an awful season last year
and if you think you can turn things around i'm gonna work hard do my best i'm just as good a
footballer as you liam yeah well we'll see about that won't we when we play seagate alba i'm
making films for my channel i have this one dance routine and i feel like you'll be great i'm a
football player Freddie what are you asking about dancing for what because i'm a girl no you're all the same
people have always said what girls can't do alba
can't vote can't go to university can't buy their own house what's that about can't box
every right we've got we've had to fight for so when somebody tells you you can't
prove them wrong alba
bend into that pose now reach down and up hips out
hold up five seconds five four three two one right back to neutral pose
nice fingers right arm down straight hi freddie
i'm not meant to be filming alba has this whole thing about no distractions so if you're not
meant to be filming why are you? well she'll change her mind when she sees the gold im getting
check this. statistically this sort of thing ends in disaster 100% of the time. i should interview you
oh no wait you're not doing much this year, are you? no, i'm really not
everyone quiet
look at yourselves you've got no hope like this
you all know jamie johnson and dylan simmonds it's probably why some of you are here
when they were at odds they were terrible but when they played together they were unstoppable i mean
unplayable. he's right what else you got in that brain of yours boggy
cranmere may have a very strong defense but they've got no midfield, if we boss them in the center
we will open up the defense and if we don't concede any goals we might still have a chance
and that means we're gonna need tayo back where he belongs defending and shielding his keeper okay
we've got four three three. freddie alba liam up front yeah but what about the keeper?
excuse me? yes. we're really excited for you to be here. thank you um alba, you're captain
right? yeah we've actually met before you give me really good advice after the seagate game and
it's really helped me, help the team good can you do something for me then?
absolutely. hit the steps, i need to test the trackers before we use them in training
what now? unless you have something more important to do? It's my homework. you bring your homework
to training? i'm just a little bit behind that's all, but i can do it later. good thanks. uh jess
it is fine to call you jess right? it is my name. thanks jess
so what is it oh it's Freddie. what about Freddie? no i'm Freddie
i just want to make sure you're okay why? mike was so rough on you back there he's way out of order
he was but i'm such an idiot. don't say that. no being on a team that's the best and
i've blown it haven't i. no no way are you just saying that. no mike knows you're good he's just
angry at your attitude, he thinks it's oh childish, but to be honest it's not your fault i mean after
all you missed so much school. boggy can you keep a secret? yes. swear? yes. well okay the thing is if
mike knew the truth about me then... what are you saying. i have no right to be in that team.
scared you're going to get found out? how did you know? it's a common phenomenon among successful
people, it's called imposter syndrome. imposter syndrome, yep that's what i am, an imposter.
scoop through the legs
now the pace, leaving the rest for dead, she's bearing down on the goal and there's only one thing
on her mind, the chop back rabona. what infinites from the phoenix captain quite magnificent. yes yes
what did you say? I dare you say it again, go on say it, say it again. Freddie, hey.
what did i tell you, rise above it. no but one of them just shouted something racist
in light of what freddie's just told me we'd be justified in leaving the pitch in protest
what? we don't have to, but i don't want you feeling any pressure to continue.
whatever you want to do freddie, we'll all stand by you. look guys i'm not defending them here but
well these things happen all the time in football and that makes it okay? no of course not they're
just idiots looking for reaction because guys they know they're about to get knocked out of this cup
he's got a point you really want them to know they've got to you like this
exactly, so let's go out there finish this game off and cement our place in
these semis. think you might be right, that's the only way to punish those racists. but
if we just carry on like nothing's happened then doesn't that make us part of the problem?
starting with liam. what i've just heard my name. i have a few ideas about some other
positions too, we should do it today if we're talking about making changes, try players out
while we've got time. right uh so try kazia out in liam's position? aye, see what she's got to offer
in that attacking midfielder role. a threat to his place he's not gonna take it well. any others?liam,
liam, wait mate. you heard what they're saying, they're just trying new things out. after all the
time i play for this club, this is what they do. oh come on calm down. no, they think they can just give
away my spot like that after everything i just gave up, there's no way i'm letting that happen, no way
oh, they're gonna try you in my position today. really? how do you know? just play like you've
got two left feet all right. are you joking? that's my spot so you better mess up or else. look i know
things aren't right, you've been forgetting things, making mistakes, it's not like you
I've just had a bad day that's all. i was moaning to boggy earlier about the blow to my head he
did some research on concussions, repeated blows to the head from heading the football can be really
serious mike. i know. said it can increase the chances of something called cte. boxers brain. that's
why they asked me to take a week off training i get it now. why the new rules are so important,
listen i'm the one who's been telling you. mike. not now jamie. no, you're not leaving until we've
had this conversation. boggy said players of your generation were encouraged to man up,
play on, even if they was hurt. that's how it was. that's how a lot of them have got
problems, they're suffering. and why things have got to change. why won't you talk about it
i'm not saying that's what's happening with you but if there's something you're not telling me
if something's not quite right. Jamie. why not get it checked out?
thanks for this wozza don't thank me thank freddie, that guy's persuasive
dylan, how's the hamstring? good as new. so what's all this Elliott was telling me about you
being scared of the little under 14s. yeah i'm petrified. Lucky i'm here to save the day. Nice
one Wazza. good to have the boys back together. the boys is it? jack? what are you doing here?
it's hard to refuse an offer from jess christie especially when it's for a good cause and let's
face it phoenix legends don't get much bigger than me. oh is that so? remind me when was the last time
you got to the fifth round of the fa cup. see i knew you'd be getting too big for your boots so
i thought i'd come back and teach you a lesson. all right you two stop flirting, we got a game to win
has anyone heard from jake? i'm still in shock it's one thing lying to get onto a team but lying
about being properly ill. yeah that's seriously messed up. yeah it's getting hard to know who
to believe around here. what's that supposed to mean? come on alba think we all deserve to know
the truth. about what? what did liam mean when he said the real reason he left phoenix. can't you
just see he's just gonna stir things up he's not even at phoenix anymore he's still causing trouble
