Chapter 447: Some Ankle Breaking Revenge I
The pass was a bit farther than Jason expected, but luckily, he had been almost about to break into a run so he was moving along just in time, running at a quick pace towards the probable landing spot of the ball.
Glancing over at the sidelines to see that the referee hadn’t raised his flag, Jason increased his pace as he noticed that Skriniar was also running at the ball.
Thanks to his pace, Jason who was farther away from the ball initially was now as near enough to the ball’s landing spot as Skriniar was and just as the ball was about to land, Jason stretched out his leg to tap onto the ball first, flicking it in-between Skriniar’s legs as he ran at him.
*EHHHHHH!!!*
The crowd shouted as the ball rolled between Skriniar’s legs and Jason jumped Skriniar, but Skriniar wasn’t paying attention to the crowd and grabbed at Jason’s jersey as he ran past, slowing him down enough for him to recover.
Jason smacked off Skriniar’s hand and chased after the ball, not stopping even though the referee had whistled for an advantage in the favour of his team.
The manager had told him to draw fouls, but if there was a chance to actually score, Jason was going to take it and now that a chance had appeared, Jason was going to keep pushing till he was out of options.
Skriniar grabbing hold of his shirt had slowed him down but he managed to reach the ball before it rolled out of play, but after getting the ball, he realized that Skriniar was right in front of him, blocking his path to goal.
If Jason still had any plans to continue this attacking attempt, then he would have to get past Skriniar as there was no one nearby enough for him to pass to.
Good enough, that was Jason’s plan and he quickly rolled the ball further down left.
Milan followed him, keeping his eyes on the ball, but Jason suddenly used the heel of his right foot to lift the ball off the floor.
The ball rose up to Jason’s knee level and Jason kneed it outward causing Skriniar to try and react move back to the right, but the next second, Jason flicked the ball that was still mid-air over Skriniar.
Jason didn’t even bother interfering and went to pick up the ball.
Soon enough, the referee no longer listened to the Inter Milan players complaint as he had consulted the VAR and the penalty had been awarded.
Jason moved towards Ronaldo and tossed the ball to him,
“There’s my rent, Mr. LandLord,” Jason said with a grin and Ronaldo grinned back and threw the ball back at him.
“What’s this for?” Jason asked with a weird look.
“You should take it, you worked for it and it will be nice to start your first game with a goal,” Ronaldo replied with a grin but Jason threw the ball right back.
“Didn’t you hear me, that’s rent,”
“Don’t make me a debtor... also, there’s still time for me to score,” Jason grinned and started walking backward, moving out of the penalty box.
“This kid,” Ronaldo laughed in a low voice before he refocused his attention and put the ball on the penalty spot.
As he stepped back, there was no sign on his face that he was joking earlier with a teammate and he instead looked the very picture of concentration as he took deep breaths and waited behind the ball.
*Fweeeeeeeeee*
At the referee’s whistle, Ronaldo began to run at the ball and with a whack, sent it flying.
