Sydney FC vs Queensland Roar: A-league 74th Minute
"Legs are getting tired, and its definately time for the managers to pick their substitution. Its nil - nil with Queensland Roar dominating throughout this half"
"Yes Simon, Sydney won't be too happy so far, they're outplayed in the middle of the park and wing and thats their fuel of scoring goals. Without controlling that part of the area, theres no way they can score. Mark Milligan usually plays that area but he's injured, so I wonder what will the Sydney manager do?"
"Its #2 off for #18. Thats Timpano off for Danny Case, an attacking midfielder on for a defender, he's just turned 18 last week so perhaps thats why his shirt number is 18, what can he offer for Sydney I wonder?"
"Theres only rumors of this 'wonderkid' Sydney calls and the football field is where the truth reveals itself"
80th minute
"Queensland takes the corner with an in-swinging in the 6-yard box...Reinaldo's got a head to it, oh! Great save by Clint Bolton, he's on his feet already and he throws it to the middie of the park...it finds Danny Case, thats his first touch and he's already running the other side, he goes past Mitch Nichols, Case's got Ben Griffin the defender ahead of him, Griffin tackles...nope, Case has already passed it to Alex Brosque, only Liam Reddy the keeper stands in his way, Sydney should be able to grab the winner here. Reddy goes out of his line, Brosque fires! SAVED by Reddy, he's punched it out...and finds Danny Case who fires 25 yard volley! It finds the net AND SYDNEY FOOTBALL STADIUM ERUPTS!"
BV: Hey, one step towards your dream yeah?
DC: Yeah *points to the back of his shirt*
BV: Case? I know your name isn't Joe King.
DC: Nah, the number: 18. Year 2018, Australia hosts the World Cup and I'm gonna be in it. I'm gonna be Tim Cahill the 2nd.
Danny heads out of Sydney Football Stadium, but with a struggle as Sydney Fans floods his path...
Authors Note: I'm a Melbourne Victory fan, I had to make him a Sydney-er coz Tim Cahill was born in Sydney Hope you enjoy it, I'll be writing more.
PSV Eindhoven have signed Sydney FC's brightest youngster ever to known in Australia so far. After a sucessful season with 11 goals from 11 games in the A-league, 4 goals from 6 matches in the Asian Champions League, Danny Case leaves tomorrow as Sydney have accepted the 5 million pounds deal from PSV. Danny Case has rejected offers from Anderlecht, Stuttgart and Sevilla and will join one of his fellow-countrymen, Kaz Patafta.
Guss Hiddink, who returned to managing his old dutch club in 2014, has said this was possibly his last purchase before he retires at the end of the season. PSV lies 2nd in the Group Stages of the European Champions Cup expected to face Newcastle United in the 2nd round
"Welcome to Phillips Stadion"
Danny Case meets Guus Hiddink
GH: Good to see you Danny, but I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow in case you needed time to recover from Jet-lag
DC: No I'm fine sir, I've got my gear ready for training
GH: Alright, we're doing abit of technical work in-doors, if you need anything I'm sure Kaz will help you out especially if you need to learn Dutch. I'll have the assistant manager inform your agent everything. PSV didn't pay 5 million pounds for nothing, so I'm counting on you.
And so Danny Case trained, trained, and trained with his new side. PSV had a side of different nationalities but he managed to know abit about them with the help from Kaz Patafta. Guus' tactics always involved getting in the discipline into the players.
**PSV Eindhoven vs FC Twente**
"Guus Hiddink has rested his star players Ismael Aisatti, Van Der Vaart and Oscar Ustari. This will mean Danny Case, the most recent signing will be playing his first game possibly for the whole 90minutes"
"Van Der Vaart produces the pass, the assists, and the free-kicks but what will Danny Case produce?"
11 minutes:
"Luke Wilkshire has been fouled 22 metres from goal, David Edgar takes the free kick...its deflected off the wall! The Keeper has taken the wrong side in the net!"
38th minute:
Kaz Patafta intercepts and he's advancing already, Danny Case is sprinting along with him, Patafta does a one-two with him, Patafta attempts a 30-yard shot! Hits the cross-bar!! The Keeper's gone forward to collect it....oh and heres Danny Case continuing his running momentum, he jumps at the same time as the keeper! Impossible!! Danny Case has out-reached the Keeper's arms and heads past him towards the goals! Nope, clear out by the FC Twente defender who was standing in front of goal. Almost a goal on debut, that was a fantastic show of Aerial ability, now who does that remind me of?"
57th minute:
"Guus Hiddink would be getting impatient still being 1-0 down, He's had to substitute Aisati in for a wing-back now fielding a 3-5-2 formation. Sergio Zijler has the ball, dispossessed by Danny Case, he passes to Aisati, Theres 2 strikers waiting at the box for the cross, Aisati crosses! Headed out by the defender, ball goes out side the box, Danny Case is charging in for the long-shot! SAVED by the keeper! Oh no, he's let go of the ball, Falcao easily passes the ball into the net! 1-1! It was Falcao's goal but it was Danny Case' effort that made it."
Heres Van Der Vaart coming in the middle, through ball into Falcao, Steven Taylor with a brillliant tackle! Ball's in dispute, Van Der Vaart running in! Shoots! Crossbar!
*later*
Van Der Vaart takes the ball off N'Zogbia, he's got 50 yards to run, still going! Steven Taylor giving chase, theres no one for PSV to back him up, he's gonna shoot from long range! Nope, gone harmlessly high.
*later*
David Edgar taking the corner, out-swinger into the six-yard box! Keeper misses! Martins finishes it off!! 2-0!!
70th minute
Guss Hiddink to the Assistant: Alright, get Aisati off, put Celsinho forward. Get Johns off for Case, field 3-3-4 formation.
A double substitution by Guus Hiddink, putting explosive player Celsinho on and youngster Danny Case, this means Guus Hiddink isn't going to try and prevent goals but decrease Newcastle's lead at least.
Throw-in by PSV, finds Celsinho, runs towards the box, passes to his left! Finds Danny Case, he continue running into the box...oh! Steven Taylor has tackled right into the ball and Danny Case is sent flying, great defending, ball is passed to David Edgar, he's trying to find his wi- he's lost possession! Danny Case has taken the ball of Edgar, he passes to Van Der Vaart, through balled into Celsinho on the right, crosses the ball! Falcao attempts overhead kick! Misses the contact with the ball, oh dear. Ball bounces once, quite high. Defender's going to clear it with a header...And Danny Case has challenged him with a header! Tim Krul flies to his right but too late! Danny Case has scored!! Oh dear, Case is on the floor. I think he's injured...replay shows he's crashed into the defender's shoulders and hard into the ground.
PSV later lost 3-1
As for Danny Case's injury...it turned out to be a bruised chest, pained chin, scratched arm and a little headache...
